Men’s Leather Boots
Shop men’s leather boots from Dr. Martens, Fracap and Cheaney, covering lace-up, monkey, chukka, Chelsea and brogue styles alongside hiking-inspired designs. The range includes black, cherry red and burgundy, plus shades of brown from tan and brandy to mahogany and deep mocha.
Smooth, Grained and Waxed Leather
The leather finish makes a difference to both appearance and feel. Dr. Martens’ Smooth leather gives the 1460 a uniform surface, while Ambassador leather has a softer, tumbled texture with a visible grain. Crazy Horse leather is buffed cowhide treated with oil and wax, giving it variations in colour that become more pronounced as it bends and wears.
Fracap’s M120 boots use vegetable-tanned calf leather, with colours including Brandy, Corteccia and dark brown Testa Di Moro. Cheaney’s selection includes mahogany and burgundy grain leather, hand-burnished calf and Chicago Tan Chromexcel. The Chromexcel styles develop lighter and darker tones around creases, adding depth to the finish with wear.
From Chelsea Boots to Leather Hikers
For a simple shape with minimal detailing, consider Cheaney’s Godfrey Chelsea or Jackie chukka boots. The Tweed brogue boot adds decorative punching and a wingcap toe, while Dr. Martens’ Church monkey boots have a lower ankle profile and distinctive five-eyelet fastening.
Fracap’s M120 offers a rounded shape with prominent lacing and a choice of sole designs, including Roccia, ripple and beige Cristy versions. Cheaney’s Jarrow Derby and Ingleborough hiker provide further lace-up options, with leather linings and Goodyear-welted rubber soles. These differences in shape, leather and construction give the collection options for wearing with denim, cords and smarter trousers.
