Our notes

These are not a pair of boots just for fashion. 

Built to last years, they will keep carrying on and on with the replaceable Goodyear Welt solid rubber deep tread outsoles.

A pair of Goodyear Welted boots can take up to eight weeks to make, using up to 75 boot parts and over 200 different operations to create. 

The origins of this method go back over three hundred years. 

The method is generally regarded throughout the worldwide boot-making industry as the best way to make superior boots.

As you wear these boots, their fit and comfort will just get better as their components mould to your foot's shape.

Goodyear Welted footwear can be re-soled by stitching the new sole to the welt extending the life of the footwear.   

  • Cut with Italian 69% bio-based leather formed around a classic 9-eye tactical boot silhouette that hugs your legs. You can polish the uppers to keep them looking new and bring out a shine.
  • Solid rubber deep-tread Goodyear Welt outsoles with recycled content. Easily replaceable at good cobblers.
  • Long and strong recycled polyester laces. Keep them loose or lace to the top with the 3 x sets of gunmetal black lace hooks.
  • Large WVS embroidered recycled polyester pull tab to help pull them on.
  • Fully lined with tan vegan suede for comfort, air circulation and breathability.

    The best shoes I've worn (yet)

    Bought this pair to replace dying Dr Martens' 1460 boots which clearly didn't hold up to the brand's alleged standards. I tried to find a more durable and ethical option, and stumbled across these beauties. My order was processed on the 4th of July, and I got them today, the 7th, so that was really quick.

    The hardest part was putting them on for the first time: the laces were tied really tight and the materials were a bit stiff at first. But once you have them on, they're perfect. After wearing them for the whole afternoon, doing daily tasks, resting and going for a walk, I have yet to feel any kind of pain or discomfort.

    Style wise, they're really great and versatile. Everything is black, and the vegan leather equivalent has a shiny, smooth finish, hitting the right spot between completely matte and overly glossy.They look classic yet modern, and can be worn with basically anything.

    These shoes are sold to last, and I sure hope they will. It's been one day and I am in love already. And when the day of their inevitable end will come, I'll be sure to buy another pair here.

    Exceeds expectations!

    Loved these boots when I first saw them, but I took a while to finally order them. When I did, WVS customer support helped me figured out sizing and gave me good advice on choosing the best out of three sizes I tried. Returning the one's that did not fit was easy and convenient, and the boots I chose are truly so comfortable and fit the exact style I was looking for. They feel and look very high quality. Adequate toe box, good arch support, stylish silhouette, and high quality vegan suede inner lining. Even after only a week of wear, I can feel that they are beginning to break in and I'm looking forward to many years with these boots!

    Quite uncomfortable

    These are definitely the most uncomfortable boots I have ever had. I wore them just for a day and my feet became sore and got blisters. They are definitely not small on my feet but the shape is least ergonomic I have ever seen. Furthermore, I have never understood the idea of having winter boots that do not have any lining. Non-vegan boots usually have wool lining. Why don't vegan boots have an equivalent of the wool lining? The feet still need to feel warm, right?
    For the price I have paid, I am definitely feeling unhappy with my purchase.
