{"product_id":"sanders-hi-top-chukka-boot-navy-suede","title":"Sanders Hi Top Chukka Boot Navy Suede","description":"\u003cp\u003eSanders' navy suede is a genuinely dark blue. It is not a mid-blue that announces itself: across a room it reads almost black, and the colour only shows properly close up or in daylight. That is what makes it useful. It does the job a black boot does in a winter wardrobe while staying warmer and softer to look at, and it sits against charcoal, mid-grey, cream and indigo denim without the deliberate look that a coloured shoe can have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNavy shows water spotting more plainly than the browns do, so a protector spray matters here more than on Polo Snuff or Moss Green. Spots that dry pale will usually brush out. The obvious pairings are dark denim with a heavy knit, or grey flannel when you want something below the ankle that is not black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hi Top is built on Sanders' JOEL last, which has a neat, slightly pointed toe, and it is lined right through in leather. The sole is crepe, cemented to the upper rather than Goodyear welted — that is how Sanders build this particular family of casual shoes, and it is worth knowing before you buy, because a cemented crepe unit is not resoled in the way a welted shoe is. What crepe gives you instead is a light, springy tread and a quiet footfall from the first wear. Two eyelets, a plain vamp and no toe cap keep the pattern as simple as a chukka gets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes run UK 6 to 12 in an F (standard) fitting. Sanders advise going half a size up on the Hi Top, and we would follow that: the JOEL last fits snug and comes to a slight point at the toe. Anyone who needs more room across the foot is usually better off in the Sam, which uses their rounder SNO last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Protector spray before the first wear is the important step on navy, which shows a water mark more plainly than the browns; top it up regularly. Brush with a suede brush after wearing to keep the nap even, and use a suede eraser on scuffs rather than water. The crepe sole should be brushed clean of grit and kept away from radiators and direct heat. Shoe trees between wears.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sanders","offers":[{"title":"6","offer_id":64187295695225,"sku":"SANDERS_HI_TOP_CHUKKA_BOOT_NAVY_SUEDE_6","price":270.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6.5","offer_id":64187295727993,"sku":"SANDERS_HI_TOP_CHUKKA_BOOT_NAVY_SUEDE_6_5","price":270.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"7","offer_id":64187295760761,"sku":"SANDERS_HI_TOP_CHUKKA_BOOT_NAVY_SUEDE_7","price":270.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"7.5","offer_id":64187295793529,"sku":"SANDERS_HI_TOP_CHUKKA_BOOT_NAVY_SUEDE_7_5","price":270.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8","offer_id":64187295826297,"sku":"SANDERS_HI_TOP_CHUKKA_BOOT_NAVY_SUEDE_8","price":270.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5","offer_id":64187295859065,"sku":"SANDERS_HI_TOP_CHUKKA_BOOT_NAVY_SUEDE_8_5","price":270.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"9","offer_id":64187295891833,"sku":"SANDERS_HI_TOP_CHUKKA_BOOT_NAVY_SUEDE_9","price":270.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5","offer_id":64187295924601,"sku":"SANDERS_HI_TOP_CHUKKA_BOOT_NAVY_SUEDE_9_5","price":270.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10","offer_id":64187295957369,"sku":"SANDERS_HI_TOP_CHUKKA_BOOT_NAVY_SUEDE_10","price":270.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5","offer_id":64187295990137,"sku":"SANDERS_HI_TOP_CHUKKA_BOOT_NAVY_SUEDE_10_5","price":270.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"11","offer_id":64187296022905,"sku":"SANDERS_HI_TOP_CHUKKA_BOOT_NAVY_SUEDE_11","price":270.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12","offer_id":64187296055673,"sku":"SANDERS_HI_TOP_CHUKKA_BOOT_NAVY_SUEDE_12","price":270.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9017\/4329\/files\/HiTop-6480AS_A.jpg?v=1786083320","url":"https:\/\/english-brands.co.uk\/products\/sanders-hi-top-chukka-boot-navy-suede","provider":"English Brands","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
