Winter’s almost here, and so begins the search for comfortable and stylish boots that can handle whatever the season throws at us. Esquire UK recently published an article titled “11 Winter Boots That’ll Have You Stomping Through the Season in Style.” They claim to be experts in comfort, highlighting boots that have gone through rigorous testing by their editors. However, after checking out their list, it turns out that only two of the featured brands are made in Europe, with none being manufactured right here in the UK.
No worries, though! We’ve rounded up some fantastic options for UK made men’s footwear that will keep you looking sharp and feeling cosy throughout winter.
