Jarrow R Derby Boot in Chicago Tan Chromexcel Leather

Got some Redwing Iron Rangers 8086 last year and it led me into the world of quality boots (having previously bought off the high st). Wanted a pair of smarter boots that crossed over into smart casual wear. Tried Thursday Captains Brown - which we're good but thought lacked a bit of refinement. Tried the version of this - Barrow from Jones - which also good. Ultimately pushed out to get the Jarrow. Very happy. Big upgrade in the leather. Colouring and look is great. Worn about 10 times and showing nice softening and worn look. I need a wide fit and was true to size, with probably a bit excess in the toe. Would say if you are narrow, go down 1/2 a size. They take a few mins to put on with bar lacing - but look is worth it.

I originally bought these boots in the December 2019 sale for half price. They were delivered just after the factory closed for the Christmas break.
I didn't realise until a couple of days later (due to the perennial Cheaney short laces) that the left boot had 10 eyelet holes one side and 9 the other and obviously should not have been sent out (too many sherries at the Xmas party ?). As the factory was shut and the website was saying no more sale stock left I visited my local cobbler who added an eyelet on the left boot for £2. As the top of the boot is hidden by trousers and nobody is likely to be counting eyelets, this was fine but as these rapidly became my favourite boots this began to irritate me that they weren't perfect.
Fast forward three years and I have now purchased a pair off a retailer and I am pleased to say that these are really well made (even stitching and good welt join, facings aligned, toe caps even etc) .
If anything they have been lasted a little snugger which suits my feet better (though the others may have stretched).
I now have two pair of these dark brown boots (plus a black pair) and I can use the imperfect pair for rougher situations and keep these "for best".

These are the second pair of Cheney boots I have bought. I love them. The colour is darker than I thought it would be but it should age beautifully, the quality is superb and they are very comfortable, they were effectively broken in after the second time I wore them.
Any Cheaney footwear is an investment but they are clearly made to last and the quality of materials and workmanship is obvious.
They fit as per the size and look good with both formal and casual clothing.

The boots I was sent can only be described as seconds; the eyelets on the left boot were about 1cm higher on one side and there was a footprint with all the stitching. Sent them back, requesting an exchange, but was given a refund instead, perhaps they thought the quality was the best they could do. I did email them, via the contact page on their website, but it seems they’re not working during January 2021 lockdown. Despite the experience I’ve had so far they are just what I’m looking for, and the fit was perfect, so if they could assure me they could send me a decent pair I’d give them another go.

I have bought many pairs of leather shoes from other British shoe manufacturers but the quality of these boots is on a higher level!
Great fit and look good - not cheap but then quality costs and just think..they will last and you’ll have them for years.
Very pleased !

I just took delivery of these and man are they good.. I have multiple British brands (all the well known ones) but was completely surprised how nice these are. They are super comfortable right out of the box even if the leather feels a little stiff. I also don’t think the pictures really capture how good they look. The feel snug enough whilst being roomy with no hotspots. First day walking the dogs in’m and absolutely perfect. In love with my new boots. The fit the color. Personally I think they work great with jeans and chinos..

Not my first pair of Cheaney shoes and not my last. As with all their shoes these are incredibly well made and extremely comfortable, like wearing a pair of slippers. They look superb and are worth every penny given their quality. Expensive for sure but in my opinion worth it.

Absolutely love these shoes! Been looking for a robust winter boot for a while that you can wear all the time including being smart enough to wear in the evenings. These boots tick all the boxes. The leather is extremely comfortable but hard wearing. The quality is second to none. Well worth the investment as sure I’ll be wearing these for many years.

This is the first time I have invested in purchasing boots from Joseph Cheaney and I must say that I am very impressed with them. In my opinion, they actually look way better than their photos. And the Dark Chicago Tan Colour looks superb. The fit is perfect for me and the very high quality workmanship that has gone into these is impeccable. The boots are Goodyear Welted and are very well made. And they just exude of quality. And boots look great with slim fit jeans or Chinos and I am very proud to own a part of our long standing shoe-making British Heritage.

just aren't long enough. I have had to buy longer ones as otherwise I have to partially unlace the boots to get in and out of them, which will ultimately lead to failure of the lace ends.
Once on the boots are an incredibly comfortable fit right from the off.
