Comfortable and stylish. I love these boots.

I bought these (in black) last year around November. I only wear them office days. The heel came off the left shoe a few weeks ago and the inside of the boots are basically shredded. I’m committed to being plant based but before when I had Doc Martens those shoes lasted five years in a café environment where I was walking/running around in them 6-10 hours a day! The whole point in spending more up front for your shoes and clothes are to reduce waste by having items that last and someone had told me this brand was a “buy it for life” quality, but that wasn’t my experience at all.

Work Boots

I've had these boots for almost 2 years but I've only worn them a handful of times. They are really narrow and uncomfortable. The material is quite stiff and feels similar quality to supermarket vegan PU leather shoes you can buy for under £20. The sole is hard, not nice to walk on, and lets water in very quickly when it's wet outside (which in Scotland is all the time, even when it's not raining). So after a few short walks I delegated them to be my "nice shoes" for when I have to wear a dress or something. Unfortunately, after another wear or two, they developed a hole on the upper, near the toe bend. They are definitely not "built to last you years". I would say the total number of days I spent wearing them was maybe 10-15, scattered over a few months... Now they are too broken to donate or wear as nice shoes, but too uncomfortable and leaky to wear day to day, for dog walks and such. They have just been sitting on the shelf for like a year. I should have gone with my initial gut reaction and return them before it was too late, but I wanted to give them a chance. It's disappointing because my previous boots from Will's were amazing (Dock Boots), I've worn them pretty much every day for 2 autumn-winter seasons and they were comfy and indestructible. These, unfortunately, are the opposite.

Super quality, practical, and still stylish boots. An excellent buy.
