Our pick for the man who wants one boot to carry him from flannels on a Friday to denim on a Saturday. The Crosby is a three-eyelet chukka with a moccasin seam stitched right around the vamp, and that single seam does all the work. It takes a plain desert boot and gives it some workwear backbone, so it reads rugged next to tweed and clean next to jeans.
It comes out of Italy for the London house that opened in 1977 a short walk from the old silk weavers of Spitalfields, started with scarves and ties, and still sews its ties on Haberdasher Street and its shirts in its own factory in Chard, Somerset. The boot is a cousin of their Clifford desert boot. A soft brown suede upper, left unlined so it moulds to your foot inside the first week, sits on a leather insole and a rubber crepe sole that is quiet, grippy and forgiving on pavement. It is the same model Daniel Craig wore through the Matera scenes in No Time to Die, which tells you where it sits on the line between smart and casual.
Runs snug. The maker's own guidance is a half size up from your usual, and we agree. We stock whole sizes on this boot, so if you wear a half size, take the next whole number up: a US 9.5 wears the 10. Every size on this page is US. The box and the insole are stamped in UK, one full number below, so a US 10 arrives in a box marked 9. That is the right boot, not a picking error.
If you own one pair of suede boots for the season, this is the one we would point you to. Brush it, keep it off the road salt, and it will look better in year three than it did on day one.
Size Chart
Runs snug. Take a half size up from your usual. We stock whole sizes only on this boot, so a half-size man takes the next whole number up, and a whole-size man tries his usual number first and goes up one if it pinches across the moc seam. Every size on this page is US. The box and the insole are stamped in UK, one full size below the US size shown, so a US 10 arrives in a box marked 9. Tap UK or EU in the chart below to convert.
