When October arrives, ankle boots or boots are out of the closet, dusted off, waxed, and put back on! Indeed, they provide greater protection from the cold while remaining elegant. But do you know the different styles of ankle boots? Discover the different types of boots with us!
Men's leather lace-up boots
Lace-up ankle boots are called boots in French. In English, there is no real distinction between these two variations.
The Balmoral Boot
The Balmoral ankle boot is a "go-anywhere" ankle boot, it guarantees a neat style in all circumstances and robustness in all circumstances. The Balmoral ankle boot is constructed in a similar way to a brogue , the guards are trapped under the upper. There are generally a large number of eyelets (between 7 and 9) and can include hooks. It can be made of two different leathers like our Santeny model, composed of a smooth patinated leather on the lower part and a suede calfskin on the upper part.
The Brodequin or high derby
The brodequin or high derby is similar to the Balmoral, except that instead of being constructed like a brogue, the latter looks more like a derby. This breaks the formal side of the Balmoral boot and allows more freedom in the variations of this boot such as the Work Boots or the Combat Boots. Our Samoens model is the result of the freedom that the Brodequins allow, comfort and originality. The Samoens is the ideal pair for unpredictable weather, whether it's raining, windy or snowing, this model will overcome all bad weather!

The Chukka Boots
The Chukka boot is a classic. It's easily recognizable because it usually has 2 to 3 eyelets and therefore has small laces. The eyelets are constructed like a derby boot. Often seen in One-Cut, it has few visible seams, which allows it to adapt to both formal and casual situations, depending on the shape and materials used. If a Chukka is mounted on a crepe sole, then it is renamed Desert Boots.
Our Chukka and its rubber sole adapt to your walk to accompany you with elegance and solidity. We have chosen a dual-material rubber leather sole with studs on the black model so that you can wear them in winter without additional operation. On the brown suede version, we have opted for a Dainty rubber sole renowned for its robustness and flexibility.
There Black Chukka , a must-have in the men's wardrobe!
