Sharp Black, Gentle Brown, Light Suede: All Possess an Adult Sophistication


When standing, the hem of trousers conceals them, revealing a smart profile akin to a low-cut shoe. When seated and crossing your legs, they offer a refined impression up to the ankle – this is the charm of a chukka boot. Their popularity is also partly due to the ease of wear and removal with laces, despite being boots, and they maintain a strong following.

These "GIONO" short boots feature Courchevel calf and suede materials, fitted with John Lobb's original rubber sole, the "October Sole." The softness inherent to a rubber sole contributes to their immediate comfort and easy break-in from the first wear.

The overall impression is casual. Notably, the black and brown Courchevel calf versions are more resistant to scratches than standard materials, making them suitable for wear even in inclement weather.

The last is the semi-square 8896. They add an adult touch to casual weekend ensembles.
