The heel area inside the boot is lined with suede for durable heel grip, and the toe stiffener is inserted inside the leather by a special splitting process, resulting in a durable and comfortable unlined construction.

Very well made boots, beautiful
"Very well made boots, beautiful leather and wonderfully comfortable to wear. After seeking advice I chose to have them built on the GX last as I have wide feet and normally wear an 11G. The fit is perfect and I am really enjoying wearing them. A small point, but it could be easier to select or clearer on how to specify the GX last from somewhere on the website order page."
clasic style, beautifully made.
"clasic style, beautifully made."
Very nice, my third pair
"Very nice, my third pair 😊👍"
A wonderful Boot
"These are a wonderful boot, smooth, soft suede leather, with the insoles in it's like walking on air. Jadd assisting with sizing is a valuable added bonus. They arrived a few days earlier than predicted but absolutely worth the wait. I have a pair from a well known Italian competitor, they are good, but the level of finish on the Jadd boots is on another level."

Lovely handmade boots
"I dropped in to see Jadd in his factory. He stopped working to chat about his products, sourcing materials, and manufacturing procedure. I also tried on a couple of pairs to get my sizing right. He is a really nice chap, and I ordered a pair within minutes of speaking to him. My boots were made and delivered in one week. I'll be buying another pair quite soon. Highly recommended."
This is the third pair
"This is the third pair of Jadd boots I own, and I could not be happier with them. I ordered a pair of desert boots about 15 months ago, and Jadd wrote to me to make sure the size was appropriate. I subsequently received and was very happy with the shoes, and so recently I decided to get another two pairs. I reached out with an order, and Jadd corrected the size after looking back and reviewing my ordering records. He then asked me how they fit, and I gave him feedback. He further customized the shoes, including making one shoe slightly larger than the other. They are spectacular. I could not be happier with the service and this purchase."
