Delivery & Returns
Crockett & Jones only uses the finest leathers available. With the correct care and attention your shoes will age well, taking on a greater depth of colour and character that only time can produce. We recommend following our shoe care guidelines regularly. Leather uppers require regular treatment with a good-quality wax polish to protect the leather and give a high shine finish. This should help to prolong the life of the uppers and maintain their appearance. For full details of how to care for your Crockett & Jones shoes, including a video guide, please refer to our Shoe Care section.

In 2015, last 228 cemented itself into Crockett & Jones’ legacy, when Radnor in Black Calf appeared in James Bond’s SPECTRE. Fitting advice from retail… Last 228 fits true to size. The rugged Commando sole that often accompanies models made on this last is quite firm during the initial wear. Aesthetically its toe box is similar to the 314, 325, and 335 lasts. With the outdoor nature of this boot, keep in mind that you may want to wear heavier weight socks.
The Veldtschoen construction method is our most water-resistant method of producing welted shoes & boots. By turning the waxed upper leather outwards and over the welt that is stitched to the leather lining, we conceal the feather line, allowing for excess water to run away without penetrating the boots.
Heavy weight, high quality rubber sole. Traditionally used on high leg Derby boots.
