As September approaches, we’re starting to think about fall footwear. Here are five staples that will set you in good stead, from classic Chelsea and Chukka boots to more rugged styles, all from some of the most respected shoemakers in the world.

Crockett & Jones – Chelsea 8
Built on the 341 last, the Chelsea 8 has a clean, slightly elongated shape that makes it particularly easy to dress up. Goodyear-welted and made in Northampton, it’s a more refined take on the classic Chelsea boot.

Crockett & Jones – Coniston
One of the great English country boots, the Coniston combines a straight toe cap, speed hooks and storm-welted construction. Substantial without feeling heavy, it’s the kind of boot that only gets better with wear.

Silver Deer x Alden – Indy Boot
Our take on the beloved Indy Boot, rendered in dark brown suede. This version moves the classic towards a more Italian sensibility, with tonal stitching and eyelets, finished with a black crepe sole.

Alden – Unlined Chukka
The unlined construction makes this chukka exceptionally soft and relaxed, allowing the suede to mould naturally to the foot. With just two eyelets and very little structure, it sits somewhere between a boot and a loafer in terms of ease.

Edward Green – Galway
One of the most recognizable boots in classic shoemaking, the Galway is defined by its two-piece construction and sweeping curved seam. For many collectors it’s a grail boot, combining the practicality of a country style with a much more refined finish.
