Montrose Patina Chelsea Boot for Men - Lug-Sole Leather Ankle Boots

Montrose is the Chelsea boot with its centre of gravity lowered. The upper is hand-patinated in layers so the finish sits deeper at the toe and heel and lifts across the vamp, then polished to a high shine that catches light along the whole length of the boot. The gussets are set flush, the pull-tab is minimal, and nothing interrupts the sweep from ankle to toe.

What changes the character is the sole: a heavy lugged rubber unit that gives the boot real traction and a deliberately blunt, contemporary stance. It is the combination people notice - a dress-shop upper on a boot sole - and it makes Montrose as correct with tailored wool as it is with raw denim. A serious Chelsea boot for men who want one pair to cover both.
