Autumn 11 - the collections
Brogue boots
No longer just the territory of trendies, the brogue boot has hit the mainstream in line with heritage clothing trends.
Casual brogues
Rubber soles, contrasting fabrics and less traditional colours rejuvenate the casual brogue.
Brown brogues
Classic brogues come in chestnut and mahogany shades. Contrast colours on laces and piping update the look.
Formal shoes
The traditional lace-up is ready for the office in polished leather.
Hi-tops
The 1980s continue to be represented by hi-tops, while styles with surprising materials and a neutral palette are directional.
Chelsea Boots
From distressed casuals to smart, polished finishes, the Chelsea boot scales tan, chestnut and the customary black.
Desert suede
There is no avoiding the desert boot for next season, as brown shades mix with navy and black to suit contemporary and classic customers.
Hybrid work boots
Hi-top styles mix sports influences with workwear details for a fresh take on the casual hybrid.
