Casual Shoes & Boots

About

Heritage Construction and Daily Comfort

The right pair of shoes bridges the gap between specialist outdoor gear and formal office wear. This range focuses on heritage construction and high-quality materials like waxed leather and soft suede. Whether you are looking for sustainable Veja everyday trainers for light activity or hand-finished Tricker's casual boots for a weekend trip, the focus is on long-term comfort. Each model is chosen for its practical design, ensuring your footwear remains supportive throughout your daily routine.

Style Guide: Choosing Your Casual Footwear

Selecting the right pair depends on your daily routine. While our specialist ranges are built for extreme terrain or formal events, this collection focuses on versatile designs that suit city streets and country pubs alike.

Everyday Heritage Boots

If you need a sturdy feel without the weight of a mountain boot, durable leather heritage boots are an excellent choice. These designs provide the protection needed for cooler months while looking right when paired with denim or heavy cotton trousers. They are ideal for anyone wanting a rugged look that still feels appropriate for a casual lunch or a weekend walk.

Relaxed Casual Shoes

For a lighter feel, classic suede casual shoes or moccasins offer a more relaxed appearance. These are perfect for warmer days or indoor settings where a heavy boot might feel too much. If you prefer a contemporary look that bridges the gap between sport and smart, clean leather everyday trainers provide all-day comfort without the look of a technical gym shoe.

Versatile Wardrobe Pairings

The beauty of the casual collection is its adaptability. Most of the styles here work well with a variety of outfits. Try pairing hand-finished leather shoes with chinos for a smart-casual office look, or stick to the traditional combination of comfortable casual walking shoes and corduroy trousers for a classic country feel.

Casual Shoes & Boots FAQs

Casual boots in this collection are designed for daily wear on pavements or firm paths rather than technical mountain terrain. While they use durable materials like leather, they are lighter and more flexible than our heavy-duty hiking ranges, making them better suited for city use.

Yes. Many of our leather shoes and boots, particularly from brands like Paraboot and Paul Smith, are styled to work well with chinos or smart trousers. They provide a polished look that is appropriate for professional yet relaxed environments.

These models are perfect for urban exploration and light countryside strolls on established paths. However, for steep gradients or rocky ground, we recommend viewing our specialist trekking collections for more robust ankle support.

To keep the leather supple and water-resistant, we recommend regular cleaning with a damp cloth followed by a high-quality leather conditioner or wax. This ensures the material ages well and maintains its protective qualities over time.
