Premium Full-Grain Leather
The upper and lining are both made from premium full-grain leather, creating a durable boot with a smooth and refined finish.
The rich Espresso Noir colour makes the Beckford easy to coordinate with jeans, chinos, moleskin trousers or smarter tailoring.
Lightweight ATS® Support
ATS® technology provides lightweight support and helps stabilise the foot while moving across uneven surfaces.
This supportive construction makes the boots comfortable for commuting, travelling, social occasions and busy days spent on your feet.
All Day Cushioning Insole
A removable All Day Cushioning insole provides additional comfort and support beneath the foot.
The insole can be removed for airing or cleaning and replaced when it eventually becomes worn.
Durable Duratread™ Outsole
The exclusive Duratread™ outsole combines durability with flexibility for long-lasting everyday performance.
It provides a practical foundation for town and country use, although no certified workplace slip-resistance standard is specified.
Elasticated Twin Gore
Elasticated panels on both sides allow the opening to stretch as the boots are pulled on.
The twin-gore construction helps create a secure fit around the ankle while maintaining the clean appearance of a traditional Chelsea boot.
Refined French Toe
The French-toe shape creates a smart, gently squared profile that distinguishes the Beckford from a round-toe country boot.
This refined shape makes the boots particularly suitable for occasions when you want the convenience of a Chelsea boot with a more polished appearance.
Responsible Leather Sourcing
The leather is sourced through tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group.
This supports more responsible leather-production practices, including improved management of water, energy, waste and chemicals.
