Cheaney Tweed R Wingcap Brogue Boot in Dark Leaf Calf Leather | Dainite Rubber Sole

A truly beautiful pair of boots. Fit is excellent, as is comfort, and I was very pleased that they didn't need breaking in, so no sore heels or blisters. The level of craftsmanship is superb also. Cheaney's have been my preferred choice of footwear for some years now, although I did recently try a similar boot from another English shoemaker (name is the same as that of a place of worship), so I can do a direct comparison - the Cheaney boot looks much nicer and more refined, but with the boot from your competitor, to this day, whenever I wear them I need to apply plasters to my feet to prevent rubbing. Needless to say it's unlikely I will ever wear them again now I have these beauties!

These arrived earlier this week and I must say, in addition to being gorgeous, the fit is dead on true to size. They are also incredibly comfortable straight out of the box - the toe and counter are fully formed and shaped, but the uppers and vamp are incredibly soft and comfortable as sold.

Other than wearing boots for hiking, or desert boots for casual, this is the first pair that I have purchased that could be considered "business dress" boots, and I would feel comfortable wearing them with a suit, or at least a jacket and slacks.

One thing that I have noticed, and really like, is that the uppers really cradle my foot and keep it in place. Cannot say enough about how much I love these boots.
