The Pick: The trusty Chelsea boot

Every man should have at least one pair of Chelsea boots. Be they brogued, black or brown, formal, casual or weathered, these iconic 1960s boots are a classic look and can complement almost any style. The latest offering from renowned British shoemakers Crockett & Jones, the Chelsea V, is crafted from a Roughout waxed European calf suede.

It is tough, water resistant and will ensure that each new step gives your boots a little more rugged character without risking their structure and integrity. Indeed, Crockett & Jones themselves describe the boots as being ‘developed to soak up the miles with casual flair’. Now available in black, green or dark brown, all designs come equipped with a hardy Dainite rubber sole.
