The Story
Elegantly handcrafted with inspirations from the traditional riding boot, the bestselling Normanton in flawless suede is an excellent example of a work-meets-weekend boot. Its sleek and sophisticated appeal lends to its versatile foundation for every occasion. Paired with your favourite skinny jeans on those cold autumn days, or your best skirt in the summer, this classy boot can be dressed up or down whatever the day.
Constructed with a Vibram sole for superior grip and durability, you’re guaranteed all-day comfort when conquering the great outdoors. Its round toe and elegant frame is crafted with the finest Spanish suede to ensure that the leather moulds to your feet and does not sag at your ankles. Characterised by an outward facing, full length zip and tassel for practicality, and finished off with a hearty buckle at the top, this exquisite boot is endlessly charming. Enhance your outfit with its unique character.
Care & Repair
Whilst every mark on your VVS boots tells a story, caring for your boots is still important, so that when they’re perfectly moulded to your feet, they are still in great condition.
Boot Care
Suede boots can generally be cleaned by lightly rubbing them with a damp, lint-free cloth or specialist suede brush. Straight motions in different directions are advised to help remove dirt and salt without pushing them deeper into the fibres.
Unlike leather, suede can be easily ruined by water, which causes stains on its surface that are generally irreparable. Use a waterproofing spray after cleaning your boots to allow them to retain their water resistance. It is important to do this frequently to prevent stains, resist scratches, and keep the suede supple.

Customer Reviews
These are the most beautifully made boots and so comfortable.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you love your Normanton boots and find them so comfortable. We hope they bring you many years of happy adventures.
These boots are beautifully made, really top quality. And the service I received was excellent. I ordered a 5 and was concerned the fit was a bit snug and was then sent a size 6 so that I could compare. I did size up so I could wear with thickish socks on occasion. I’ve never received service like that before. Impressed.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so pleased we could help you find the perfect fit. It means a great deal to hear that both our boots and our service exceeded your expectations. Wishing you many happy years in your new boots!
Ek is absoluut mal oor my bootse en die vakmanskap is ongelooflik. Ek was aangenaam veras toe ek hul uit die boks haal en sien hoe mooi netjies hul afgewerk is en die fyn details op die skoen. Jul het werklik aan als gedink. Hul dra so lekker ek kan hul elke dag dra. En dan bederf jul mens nog met 'n sakkie waarin mens jou skoene kan bêre!
Baie dankie vir hierdie pragtige terugvoer! Dit beteken ongelooflik baie vir ons om te hoor dat jy die vakmanskap en fyn detail waardeer. Ons glo dit is juis die klein dinge wat die verskil maak. Geniet elke tree in jou boots en mag hulle jou nog vir baie jare vergesel!
They are BEAUTIFUL!!🤩 and soo comfortable!!! I love them! 😍 . I also love that the zip is on the outside of the leg (I ride horses, and when they get old I might use them for that…. But that will be when I have another pair haha and probably decades away. And they would probably have to be falling apart. I do tend to keep my boots forever!
Thank you so much! We absolutely love hearing that you find them both beautiful and comfortable. And as fellow boot-lovers, we completely understand wanting to keep them forever! Wishing you many years, adventures, and happy rides in your boots.
Excellent service!
Thank you so much, we're so happy you enjoyed the expereince!!
