{"product_id":"john-white-bourton-suede-brogue-brown","title":"John White Bourton Suede Brogue Boot Brown","description":"\u003cp\u003eBrown suede does something to brogueing that smooth leather cannot. Nap catches at the edge of every perforation, so the punching reads as shadow rather than as holes and the pattern softens into the boot. Brown is also the most forgiving of the suedes. It does not go patchy the way a pale sand does; it deepens at the toe and across the joints and most people find it looks better for a season's wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a boot for the ground between the office and the weekend: grey flannel, navy chinos, olive cotton, dark denim. It will not survive a downpour and should not be asked to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUK 7 to 12, with half sizes from 7.5 through to 10.5 and no 11.5 in the run. F is the standard fitting across John White's range and it covers most feet. They publish the rest of it too: Blake stitch construction, a natural lining, a padded seat sock and a studded rubber sole. John White's own guide on the subject is refreshingly plain that Blake stitching and Goodyear welting are different methods rather than a ladder, which is worth remembering before reading a Blake sole as a compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1921 the firm was turning out a hundred thousand pairs a year, and by 1935 it employed twelve hundred people and was, by most accounts, the largest shoemaking business in Britain. Design is still done in Northamptonshire; the making is contracted to partner factories.
