Jim Charles Shoes presents the Hiking Boot, a robust yet refined style that combines outdoor capability with traditional English elegance.

Crafted on the Zurigo last, this boot features a rounded toe for a traditional English look, delivering a balanced, substantial silhouette that remains smart enough for city wear. The profile offers comfort and support while retaining a structured, tailored appearance.

The upper is made from premium cognac box calf, a fine-grain leather chosen for its strength, smooth finish, and ability to age beautifully. Box calf provides excellent shape retention and a polished surface, while the warm cognac tone gives the boot a versatile character that works with both casual and rugged ensembles. Each panel is carefully cut and expertly stitched, with reinforced eyelets and precise seam work that testify to the quality of the craftsmanship.

Underfoot, the Hiking Boot is equipped with a black commando rubber sole. Designed for grip and durability, the pronounced tread pattern delivers reliable traction on varied terrain and in challenging weather, while the robust construction ensures long-lasting performance. The sole is integrated cleanly with the upper, maintaining both structural integrity and a refined overall finish.

Inside, the boot is neatly lined and finished, with smooth interiors and carefully placed seams for comfort over extended wear. From the selection of cognac box calf to the execution of the welt and sole attachment, every detail reflects high-quality materials and skilled shoemaking.

This Hiking Boot is available through our design your own option, which offers a considered balance between our stock and fully customizable Artisan range. You can partially customize key elements of the boot—such as certain materials, colours, or details—allowing you to create a more individual pair while still benefiting from a quicker delivery time than our fully bespoke configurations.
