The Perfect Boots: Paul Smith’s Simple Take on the Classics

Paul Smith is a brand that doesn’t indulge in frivolities when it comes to their wear-with-anything boots. Their shapes and colors might not be the most original in the world, but you’d be hard pressed to find a more perfect version of them.

Upgrade your basic boots to pared-down classics from Paul Smith and you’ll notice the difference in your whole look.

Chelsea

The perfect Chelsea boot is chic, flattering and sleek without looking precious. All too often many Chelsea boots on the market just aren’t right—too low or high of a heel, an off-putting gusset, an unflattering round toe—and while they might do the job, they’re not what you want to reach for every day. Paul Smith’s Chelsea boots boast a comfortable low stacked heel, flattering almond-shaped toe and high-quality leather that will complete any outfit, from a mod mini dress to skinny jeans and a turtleneck.

Lace-Up

When done correctly, a lace-up boot can take you from the office to the street in one fell swoop. A polished take in high-grade leather is a must when layering underneath suits and trousers, especially finished with brogue detailing that recalls formal shoes. The same boot is suited for everyday casual wear alongside cuffed jeans, but only when the boot reaches a medium between formal and informal. Try a pair of cognac brown Paul Smith lace-ups that break in gracefully for your next standby boot.

Desert

The desert boot offers a refreshingly minimal take on the lace-up boot, its lines clean and crisp in soft suede. Comfortable in the extreme and easy to wear on the weekend, a desert boot is like an oasis in a sea of other rigid shoe options. Paul Smith’s desert boots are no-frills, as they should be, but also come in unexpected shades like cranberry red to give your wardrobe some variety. Try these rich-colored desert boots with chinos and a soft sweater.

Paul Smith isn’t a brand to pile on the embellishments, but that doesn’t mean that attention isn’t paid to the details. On the contrary—Paul Smith’s simplicity is its own kind of brilliance.

Paul Smith makes the most perfect versions of every boot you need.
