Our notes
These are not a pair of boots just for fashion.
Built to last years, they will keep carrying on and on with the replaceable Goodyear Welt solid rubber deep tread outsoles.
A pair of Goodyear Welted boots can take up to eight weeks to make, using up to 75 boot parts and over 200 different operations to create.
The origins of this method go back over three hundred years.
The method is generally regarded throughout the worldwide boot-making industry as the best way to make superior boots.
As you wear these boots, their fit and comfort will improve as their components mould to your foot's shape.
Goodyear Welted footwear can be resoled by stitching the new sole to the welt, extending the footwear's life.
- Cut with Italian 69% bio-based water-resistant vegan leather. You can polish the uppers to keep them looking new and bring out a shine.
- Strong recycled polyester laces with metal lace tips.
- Solid rubber deep-tread Goodyear Welt outsoles with recycled content. Easily replaceable at a good cobbler.
- Top to bottom zip on the inside and large WVS embroidered recycled polyester pull tab to help pull them on.
- Fully lined with tan vegan suede for comfort, air circulation and breathability.
- Squishy deep insoles with recycled content.

- Upper
- Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials)
- Lining
- Portuguese vegan suede (100% PU) – soft and comfortable against the foot, with a breathable suede texture that helps keep feet fresh
- Insole
- Deep Portuguese cork footbed layered with soft vegan suede (100% PU) on top – moulded to your foot and improving with every wear
- Outsole
- Hard-wearing rubber outsole made with 10% recycled rubber – a standard profile that most cobblers can resole easily when it eventually wears
- Laces
- Long, extra-strong laces (100% recycled polyester), with metal lace tips (100% zamak — a durable zinc alloy)
- Shank
- TPU shank for stability and support through the arch – metal-free, so they can be worn through metal detectors
- Hardware
- Metal eyelets and lace tips, both 100% zamak (a durable zinc alloy). A full top-to-bottom zip on the inside of each boot means they slip on and off easily
- Construction
- Goodyear welt construction – the most respected method in shoemaking. The upper, lining and a leather welt are stitched together, then the sole is stitched to the welt, building the shoe up in many more stages than a standard glued shoe. It can be resoled again and again by any cobbler, so it lasts for years, and the welted, sealed build holds up better in wet weather
- Water Resistance
- Water-resistant for everyday wear – keeps you dry in rain, puddles, wet streets, and most winter conditions. Just avoid heavy saturation or full submersion.
- Width
- D width fitting – a slightly wider fit with more volume than standard
- Fit
- Order your usual size. Half size? Wider width fittings size up, narrower width fittings size down.

- 1.5 cm

This is my 4th pair of shoes from Will's, and all have been top quality! These boots may be my favorite, though! They are comfy, and I wear them (all the time) with dresses, skirts, and pants. I have slender calves, and they fit very well, but I can see where they may not fit everyone's legs! The length is a little longer than other size 7s, which is good for wearing thicker socks. But the best part is that no animals died for my shoes! Thank you, Will's!!
These are stylish, comfortable and I feel great wearing them. The length is great: tall enough to avoid 'calf gap' when wearing below-the-knee skirts. They're a good quality plant leather and I think, they look funky.
I loved the look of these shoes and the sole was very comfortable. However, I had to loosen fully to fit them around my calves and even then they were too tight. I was hoping these could go over a pair of tight jeans but they didn’t fit even on my bare legs. I’m short with a skinny build but I do have fairly muscular calves and these just happen to hit the widest part at the top. I think I’ll have better luck with the 10 Eye but they are out of stock in my size :( returned these but can’t wait to try another style because these seem well made and comfy!
Useful in rainy days, a little hard on the heel
My boots arrived amazingly quickly! They are lovely but my usual size (I have the wills vegan hiking boots) is a a bit tight, probably because the toe of this boot is quite narrow. I am trying to decide whether to exchange for the next size up.
