Shop men's boots at English Brands — Chelsea, derby, chukka, monkey and country boots from Joseph Cheaney, Sanders, Solovair, NPS, Loake, Barker, John White, R.M. Williams, Clarks and Hunter.
Most of the boots here are Goodyear welted: the sole is stitched to a leather welt rather than glued on, so a good cobbler can replace it again and again, and a well-made pair lasts for decades rather than seasons. Cheaney, Sanders, Solovair and NPS make theirs in Northamptonshire, the home of English shoemaking.
Alongside them you'll find the Craftsman Chelsea boot from Australian bootmaker R.M. Williams, cut from a single piece of leather; Clarks' crepe-soled Desert Boot and Wallabee; and Hunter's natural-rubber Original Tall wellingtons for the wettest days.
