The Signature Desert Boot

The desert boot is one of Will’s Vegan Shoes staples as it is the original shoe that the company launched with, before expanding to the range of many styles that they have today.

Here are a few details about the boots:

The uppers are made from Italian faux suede microfiber, which is water-resistant and breathable.
The soles are solid, well-gripping TR and colour matched to the boot colour.
Inside the shoe, the lining is soft and breathable and the insole is made from latex.
They are water-resistant

These boots are hand-made in Portugal and they are PETA approved vegan.

They have a tapered round toe and are a regular width fit. They have hand-stitched contrasting which gives the shoes a fashionable image. The shoes I received are in grey, normally grey coloured boots can be either overly dull or overly gaudy, but these are a nice, deep colour that is understated yet nice to look at, and definitely separates it from cheaper variants. They are also made in tan, dark brown, black and taupe, however I cannot comment on those ones as I haven’t seen them.

The boots are comfortable and they run true to size. They are not too wide nor too narrow, but it obviously depends on the width/size of your feet. If you are the type of person that has no problem with regular shoe sizes, then these will fit you nicely. They have a premium look and feel to them, seeming high quality and can go nicely with any outfit. They are boots that can be worn either casually or they look great in a party-setting, a nice restaurant and so on. My girlfriend says they look nice on me, which is always good to hear!

These shoes cost £80 and I think they are pretty good value. They are good quality, good feel, good design, very nice. When you purchase any sort of fashion from lesser known brands or on the web there is always the risk that the product may not be what you expect, or that it may be overpriced or made poorly. I am happy to say that neither of these are the case for this pair, they are premium boots that could stand up to any of the biggest brands you could find on the high street, and the fact that they are vegan and cruelty free is excellent. I think that making products that are ethical forces designers to be more creative with their designs, as opposed to the cookie cutter leather shoes which stay the same year after year and never evolve. I can’t comment on any of the other items in the Will’s range, but if they are like this, I highly recommend a purchase.
