Super boot, comfortable enough to wear away from living history. Hob nails skidded on marble floors, so have a 2nd pair with rubber soles.

I love my B5 boots and so happy I decided to purchase from William Lennon. From placing my order to completed boots the service is impeccable. please please don’t be tempted to go for the cheaper options on the net. I am now considering placing an order for a pair of smart casual boots as showed to me by Libs.
Thank you all

I never usually write a review but felt that I just had to for these.
Have been wearing them non stop for the last two days and must say they are probably the most comfortable boots I have worn and without an insole! The boots weigh more than your typical off the shelf hiking/ ankle boot but I imagine this is due to the robust construction and quality thick leather used. I can honestly see these lasting for years to come. The pictures on the website do not do these boots justice as they are simply superb in the way they look and how they have been put together. I’m in the process of ordering a pair of derby boots but now may end up getting another pair of these as well, not because I need two pairs of B5s but simply because it is an absolute bargain for what you get for the price.
Hats off to the amazing cobblers at William Lennon and for Libs help in choosing the right size. I believe I won’t be buying another pair of boots/ shoes from anywhere else.
