Best country boot

A good pair of country boots are essential for anyone who spends time in the outdoors. As well as being practical when walking or taking part in field sports, they are stylish enough to wear shopping or to events. These high-performance boots are usually waterproof, made from full-grain leather, sometimes with suede and have breathable membranes to wick away moisture.

Stylish performers in any weather, they should be comfortable enough to wear all day with soles that give a good grip on muddy and wet British terrain. Although not designed specifically for riding, some country boots are suitable for light horseback excursions, underlining their versatility as multi-purpose country footwear. Able to excel in muddy fields or around town, they are an essential boot that won’t ever go out of fashion.
