Balmoral Leather - Suede

Balmoral is comfortable, practical and elegant. Hand crafted to your sizes using top quality leathers with a practical and stylish adjustable strap and buckle. The comfortable and durable sole unit is rubberised with a textured 'grip' panel. For even greater all day comfort we have taken the insole cushioning beyond the heel and right through the foot section of the boot. Available in a wide range of leathers or suedes.

We have incorporated a three quarter length inner zip to ensure the boot is easy to put on. Detailing and finish is stunning with a contrasting pig-skin lining for ultimate comfort, luxury and style. Black and Navy blue have red pig skin linings Dark Brown, Waxy Brown and Tan Milled versions have a chocolate brown pig skin lining. Other suede versions use neutral coloured pig skin for linings.

Photos show chocolate brown suede, black leather as well as dark brown and waxy brown versions in a variety of calf sizes.

The adjustable strap means Balmoral is adaptable, a boot that looks fabulous with jeans or a skirt - perfect for a long day in the office or for weekend walks. The foot profile is remarkably slim and elegant for this style of boot.

The top-line design and adjustable strap allows us to supply a taller boot - up to 44 cms.






Step one - The Calf
Measure both calves at the widest point. If you intend to wear your boots over thick tights, trousers or jeans then measure your legs wearing them. Our craftsmen cut accurately so there is no need to “add for safety”.

Your calves may have slightly different measurements, as long as the difference is one cm or less we suggest using the smaller of the measurements – we use very soft leathers which will give in wear. Furthermore there is a hidden stretch panel or adjustable strap designed into all our boots.

If the difference in your calves is more than two cms for an extra charge we can make each boot a different size, call or email us and we will get back to you.

Step two - The Ankle
For slimmer calves the measurement should be taken around the bone of your ankle. For slim legs your ankle measurement may be below the minimum option shown, making the ankle smaller spoils shape and can make it difficult to get the boot on your foot so choose the minimum option shown.

For calves 40 cms and more take the measurement at the ankle bone and 7 cms above the ankle bone - use the larger of the two measurements for your order. If you have swollen ankles or lower calves please take the measurement a little higher to ensure a comfortable fit at the ankle and lower calf.

Step three - Boot Height
You will also need to specify the height of your boots. Stand on the floor in bare feet and measure up your leg to the height you want.

We find for most customers and styles the best boot shape is achieved if the boot finishes about 3 or 4 cms below the crook of your knee. There is a strong correlation between your foot and calf sizes and height. For larger calves (40 cms plus) best boot height in cms is within one cm of the European foot size i.e. if you have an European foot size 39 the best height for most customers will be between 38 and 40 cms. For those with slim calves heights tend to be more than foot size. Everyone is different and may want a different look, if you have any doubts just email and we'll get back to you immediately - what's the best height for me?

Step four - The Entry
The entry is the circumference over your ankle bone angled to allow for your instep. As well as the ankle the entry will allow our craftsmen to tailor your boots for an elegant profile.
