Fit and Sizing

This style runs standard to slightly generous, so we recommend sizing down half a size if you're between sizes. The leather upper feels snug initially but softens with wear, settling comfortably into the shape of your foot over the first few wears. Half sizes are available across the full UK 4–7.5 range.

Best For

• Work wear and office days that call for smart, comfortable footwear
• Everyday smart-casual dressing
• College and lecture days where comfort matters as much as style
• Long days on your feet that demand proper arch support
• Building a versatile black shoe that works across multiple outfits
• Transitional weather, thanks to the leather upper and structured sole

Styling Guidance

Black leather is one of the most versatile choices you can make, and this lace-up sits comfortably under tailored trousers, dark denim, or a knee-length skirt for the office. For everyday wear, pair it with cropped trousers or a midi dress for a look that's put-together without trying too hard. The almond toe and moccasin seam give it a slightly sportier edge than a classic brogue, so it also works well with a longline coat or blazer for a smart-casual finish.

• Works well with: Tailored trousers, dark denim, midi skirts, longline coats
• Colour palette: Black, charcoal, navy, camel, deep burgundy
