John Lofgren Chelsea Boots - Olive CXLThe John Lofgren Chelsea boots are the work wear answer to the more dainty single leather soled Chelsea boots that first come to mind. John has a real skill for taking an iconic style, seeing what a lot of us would like it to be, putting his own stamp on that and delivering it meticulously and that is what he has done with their Chelsea boots. Lovem! They are made on their 110 last (the engineer boot last) which is very shapely, has a nice slim waist

have a one piece cork fill (not shavings) for comfort and longevity between the insole and mid sole and the trim and stitching are very neat and uniform

They are built like tanks and have a good heft but feel well balanced when on your feet

5% mix is perfect for standalone or under open shirt wear

sleeve liner: 55% cotton 45% viscose

The elastic is top notch and holds up very well over time

Shinki Horsebutt

It’s a great leather

slightly coarse before gentle washing (see care label) and heavy weight

functional and looks great

much better after break in as the sole and leather combination will make them feel a bit stiff until a few wears in

really helps give them a more wide and sleek look that will get much better with age

The stitching is very neat
