Everyday Short Ankle Boots "Cobble Skipper" in Light Tan










Everyday Short Ankle Boots "Cobble Skipper" in Light Tan
Our Everyday Short Ankle lace-up boots are comfy everyday shoes that work for vintage or historical looks, any season, and many occasions.
We call these "Cobble Skippers", inspired by the incredible portraits of Victorian Children in London's working class tenements (after "Spitalfields Nippers" book by Horace Warner).
These are sturdy boots, resistant and stable enough to run around old cobbled streets. Low 2 cm heel and Goodyear-welted leather sole with a thin anti-slip rubber layer.
Generous but true to size—pick your usual size; if you’re between sizes, go down. Relaxed fit suits wider feet or thicker socks. Pointed toe looks elegant without causing discomfort.
Please note these stock items are not customisable.
✨ Top customer care: We double check your sizing before we ship!

These are sturdy boots, resistant and stable enough to run around old cobbled streets, thanks to their low heel (2cm) and sturdy Goodyear Welted leather sole, with a thin anti-slip rubber membrane.
The fit is generous, but true so you can choose your usual size. If in between sizes, best to size down.
The overall fit is relaxed, so these could be suitable for wider feet, or can be worn with thicker socks. The pointed toe adds a timeless elegance, without discomfort.
The Goodyear Welt sole can be endlessly replaced, making these boots a very good investment.
These boots are handmade in Portugal, in a small family run factory.
No plastic involved, they are sustainable and should last a really long time. The leather will age beautifully. -

Our shoes are true to size in length, but this chiselled last is elegant and can come up snug on some people.
When in between sizes, always go for the bigger of the two sizes.
Your feet are…
🦶🏾SLIM: If you have a narrow and petite foot, then our regular last in your usual size is for you.
🦶🏾 REGULAR: If you have regular to wide feet, always bear in mind that these are vintage reproductions, and can be snug, so going up half a size could be best.
🦶🏾 WIDE: If you have wide or sensitive feet we recommend to choose the wider fitting Wider Dress Shoe last.

If you are still unsure, you can send us your foot measurements, and tell us more about the sizes you usually wear so we can advise you.
The best thing to do is to draw an outline of your foot, and then draw a rectangular box around it. If you then give us the measurements of the width and length of your foot we can advise you best that way! See the “step by step” image below.

Most of our styles are available to have made just for you in the same style as on the listing, if your size is out of stock. A made to order item is fully returable and refundable.
They cost the same as a stock item, the only difference is the waiting time, as they must be manufactured.
This takes about 4-8 weeks.
If you would like to order the same style but would like some alterations made in colour or design, then a Custom order is the way to go! They are personalised which means they take a little longer to manufacture at 8-10 weeks.
Because they are bespoke they are non refundable. In the rare case that they do not fit or meet your expectations we will remake them. We offer a full customer support to make sure all the details of your order are clear and that the boots fit you.
