These are not a pair of boots just for fashion. Our Goodyear Welt Tactical Boots are built to last years — sturdy, dependable and made with the most respected method in shoemaking.
The Goodyear welt construction is the backbone of the boot: a traditional method with origins going back over three hundred years, taking up to eight weeks, 75 parts and over 200 operations to make a single pair. It's regarded throughout the worldwide boot-making industry as the best way to make superior boots — and it means the hard-wearing deep-tread rubber outsoles, made with 10% recycled rubber in a chunky commando style, can be replaced by stitching a new sole to the welt at good cobblers, extending the life of the boots again and again.
The uppers are cut from our Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials), formed around a classic 9-eye tactical silhouette that laces up close to the leg. You can polish them to keep them looking new and bring out a shine — and as you wear them, the uppers soften and the memory foam insole over a traditional cork bed, poured into the shoe, moulds to your foot, so the fit and comfort just get better with time.
Metal eyelets run up the lacing with three sets of speed hooks at the top of each boot, all in 100% zamak (a durable zinc alloy). The long, extra-strong laces (100% recycled polyester) can be worn loose or laced to the top. Inside, tan Portuguese vegan suede (100% PU) lines the boots for comfort, air circulation and breathability, and a large embroidered WVS pull tab helps pull them on.
This product is certified carbon-neutral and ethically made in Portugal under EU employment, discrimination and health & safety law. It's vegan from the uppers and linings to the glue. It's delivered to you through our carbon-neutral supply chain in plastic-free paper and cardboard packaging.
- 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
- Memory foam insole over a traditional cork bed – poured into the shoe and moulded to your foot over time, so they get more comfortable the more you wear them
- Outsole
- Hard-wearing deep-tread rubber outsole made with 10% recycled rubber – chunky commando-style grip, stitched to the welt so a cobbler can resole them when they eventually wear
- 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 up the lacing with three speed hooks at the top of each boot, all in 100% zamak (a durable zinc alloy) – hook the laces for quick lacing and a secure fit
- 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.

Die Stiefel sind toll und sehen fantastisch aus. Aber auch nach zwei Monaten tragen, machen sie beim gehen immer noch Geräusche wie eine Ente. Geht das noch weg?
Hallo Jakob,
Ich wollte mich persönlich bei Ihnen melden. Es tut mir wirklich leid von den Problemen mit Ihrem Kauf zu hören und dass sie nicht so funktioniert haben, wie Sie es erwarten würden. Es tut mir leid, dass die Stiefel diese quietschenden Geräusche machen - das sollte nach zwei Monaten eigentlich nicht mehr passieren.

Excellent!
The boots look great and, once broken in, they are generally comfortable. However, the heel doesn’t have enough grip, so my foot slips a bit in the back. Unfortunately, that caused some splinters on the back of my ankle. It’s disappointing, because I really wanted to love these boots! They have a lot of potential, but that heel fit issue made them difficult to wear.

I'm really sorry the heel doesn't have enough grip and has caused splinters on your ankle, especially when they're otherwise comfortable.

These have been my everyday/everywhere pair since I got them two months ago and they're doing great. Only took a couple wears to break in and are now surprisingly comfy. Slim pants fit over these no problem. Seeing some light fraying in one of the laces, but those are easy enough to replace if needed. I would recommend these boots without hesitation. Love that the leather is 69% bio-based instead of all plastic.
Built with sustainable quality materials, but specially built to last. A pair of super comfi boots that look great too
