Very happy with the fit and quality

Beautifully made and very comfortable desert boots. When they arrived I wanted to check the sizing as they were a snug fit. I messaged Jadd and he was quick to respond asking me to send a photo. I was reassured after discussing it. Great service. Very pleased with my shoes.

My first pair of Jadd boots. Fitted perfectly out of the box. I'm so pleased with them, I've just ordered a pair of the waxy commander boots. Thank you, Jadd, for your advice and patience when helping me decide which last he should use when hand making these terrific boots.

When you open the box there is that wonderful smell you get in shoe repairers. The smell of freshly made shoes. The quality and workmanship in these boots is absolutely incredible, oh and they are so comfortable. Expensive? No absolutely not. In this day of mass production throw away fashion these are worth every penny.

These desert boots are so well made, with the best materials, and they look stunning. They are such a pleasure to walk in and are perfect for even the hottest days

First pair of Desert boots I've owned since the early 70's. Super quality,true to size and comfortable straight out the box. Arrived much quicker than estimated time. I also liked that they can be refurbed and repaired

Beautifully designed and expertly crafted as are all of Jadd's products, backed up by excellent customer service. A pleasure to wear.

Jadd's work is phenomenal. His skills and knowledge show in every pair of the boots he makes. It would be hard to find another maker of dessert boots who works to this level. It would also be difficult to find a professional craftsman who would listen to his customers and be prepared to make changes to any of his boots to ensure they fit the customer. It is possible to ring or email Jadd to discuss any alterations to the standard design that you might be considering. This is my sixth pair of Jadd's boots and I am completely happy with all of them. This pair took no breaking in and are particularly welcome when the weather in the UK is as hot as it has been, in the UK, while writing this review. If you are looking for top quality, handmade desert boots, you can do no better than look at Jadd's range. And don't forget to contact him if you are considering changes to what you see on this site. Great boots and a great maker.

A cracking pair of classic chukka boots. The leather has a lot of character to it, which is hard to see in photos. Soles are harder than most chukkas, giving a small breaking-in period. I would highly recommend for a daily summer or casual smart dress style boot.

A wonderful pair of boots with top-quality craftsmanship and materials throughout. Jadd was very helpful in providing advice on sizing and minor modifications. I wear these daily, and they are ageing beautifully.

Great quality; classy understated appearance; excellent fit and comfortable from day one. My second pair of Jadd boots, which speaks for itself.

Great quality and very comfortable

I was looking for a summer boot, and these just arrived. They smell amazing, they look good and they fit perfectly.

I finally got to try on the shoes yesterday (26/5/25). They are a perfect fit, straight out of the box. They are also beautifully made and finished in calf leather. A great testament to British quality craftsmanship.

My second pair of Jadd boots. Different suede colour and paid a little extra again for the Lactae Hevea sole. Stylish, extremely comfortable yet hard wearing, Great for spring,summer and travel. Also like the fact these are Brotish made by a firm that prides itself on quality and providing a first class customer service. Very responsive, helpful and accommodating. E. g worth asking if you would like an upper/sole combination not advertised. The chances are they'll meet your needs or provide very useful consultation. Once again, a very pleasant experience ordering from Jadd

A super pair of boots. The usual Jadd high quality workmanship and, in this case, the leather is something special. I have a pair of the Wild Kudu hi-tops (which are superb) and this leather is similar in softness and feel but the finish is very different from anything I seen; somewhere between oiled leather and suede. Supple and comfortable from day one. Light and easy for walking on warm days. Very pleased.

Comfortable, hard wearing and how many people can say they met the lovely chap who made their shoes.

Brought my first Desert Boots from Jadd after research and coming across the maker on Chaps Guide on You Tube. Delighted with the boots, extremely comfortable, well made, superb quality. The service from Jadd was first class and looking forward to saving up for another pair. Thank you

Very beautiful shoes, very comfortable, certainly the most beautiful boots of the desert.

Beautiful shoes. Incredibly well built, comfortable from the get go. Customer service 10/10.
