The Whalley Black Grained boot is described as a high-grade, genuine leather hiker-style boot crafted on a durable, grippy LANX rubber sole and featuring a cemented construction for easy restoration and resoling.
Touted as beautiful, versatile, and a staple for any wardrobe, these boots promise to be practical, durable and fashionable, no matter the season.
With full leather lining, a foam-padded collar that ensures ankle support, an orange leather comfort-padded insole for extra comfort with every wear, and durable D-ring eyelets for easy lacing, these boots are sure to be a staple in any wet-weather wardrobe.
Coming in sizes 3 to 8.5 and available in a variety of shades, including Helen’s go-to black, these boots are currently selling for £220 on Lanx’s website.

Going back to Helen’s Lanx boots, she isn’t the only one loving these shoes. Plenty of 5-star reviewers pour in, singing their praises. One buyer beams: “ These are the most versatile boots I own. Straight out of the box, they had a day in the office, then straight into a weekend away, which included Munro bagging in the wind, rain and snow, then back to the office. Couldn’t have asked for a better quality, fit or style.”
Further accolades come from this customer who comments: “Purchased for my daughter who loves them. Well-made and stylish. Comfortable on first wear.”
Another shopper shares: “Attended the Whalley Factory store, great customer service, lovely environment. Boots are fantastic quality, great craftsmanship and comfortable from the first day of wearing them. Fabulous addition to my wardrobe- will be purchasing another product soon.”
And even more love comes from this reviewer who raves: “I love my boots!!! So comfy and snuggly! Perfect for my cold morning dog walks and spectating rugby. Think I might have to buy another colour.”
Though one buyer does share a potential gripe with the shoe, writing: “These are my second pair of Lanx but first boots. These are true to size but narrower than expected around the toes. They are still very comfortable, but I am still breaking these in.”
And another shopper shares the same view, saying: “Another excellent pair of boots from Lanx. The leather is tighter than my previous pair (I’ve got the Reed boots in brown), but still comfy, and these ones feel smarter with the laces. The quality is just amazing, and I love that Lanx do repairs as I’m trying to be more sustainable with my clothing & footwear. I’ve also got a pair of Edgworth boots, and they are so good too! Thank you, Lanx, keep doing what you’re doing!!”
