Great boots, worn for the first time today. Very comfortable, felt as though I was barefoot, so light, so well fitting.

I love these boots! Very comfortable and very well made. I will be on my feet walking around in these all day and still not want to take them off when I get home. Cheers to the craftsmen at Jadd.

Really wonderful shoes which have gotten better with age. The way it should be.

Magic Desert Boots on wonderful soles !!

TL;DR: If you like the look of these, go for it! No regrets! These boots are impeccably made with quality materials, comfortable out of the box, a fair price for the value, look great, ninja-level quiet outsoles. . . really, what more could you want? My only caveat here is be mindful that the product photos were probably taken under very bright lights, so they are just slightly darker/browner in person. Also, be very, very sure of your measurements and sizing first to avoid returns, etc. It took me a couple of tries to zero in on my size with Jadd's assistance, but once we did, I couldn't wait to order more. In fact, I'm wearing them as I type this, and I look forward to many years of service from every pair of Jadd boots I now proudly own.

Exteremly pleased. The quality of materials, design, workmanship and comfort are excetional.

Fantastic shoes - very well made. Jadd was incredibly helpful as I have quite wide feet and I originally ordered a G. I then changed them for a GX with the minimum of fuss. Many thanks!

These boots are truly amazing and Jadd is a one-of-a-kind artist. Since I mostly use barefoot shoes (due to having very wide feet) I asked for a boot with as minimal construction as possible and with a very wide toebox. Barefoot boots often look ridiculous and clowny, especially if you are used to classic leather boots. However, Jadd managed so well to accommodate my requests and at the same time to deliver a beautiful pair of boots. The Horween leather has a great character and depth, and the overall design is perfect for a smart casual look. Couldn’t be happier with the result!

Good fit. Very comfortable. Many thanks

Couple of months in and very comfortable. Great quality and fit. Good customer service with advice on sizing.

I was really excited for these boots and they don't disappoint. The leather is beautiful and the soles are, genuinely, a thing of wonder!

I have just received my wild elk boots and I am absolutely delighted. This is my second pair of boots from Jadd and I have lived in my suede boots with LH sole. As part of the process I sent Jadd pictures about how my wide feet had stretched the suede and he has made the new pair to take this into account. I have never had a pair of shoes which have felt so comfortable out of the box. Would give 10 stars if I could

I have never known a new pair of shoes which don't need breaking in, but these are they; the very comfortable sole makes it like walking on air, and completely soundless - I call them my stealth shoes! So glad I discovered Jadd, and I may buy a further pair.

Great boots. Excellent service. Cheers!

These were the third pair of boots I have bought from Jadd and, as with the other two, are excellent. Definitely a boot for the harsher weather and beautifully made. They aren't cheap but well worth the money.

I was a little concerned buying these boots online as I have always had an issue with fit and sending shoes back when they did not fit, and they are not exactly cheap. However, I was persuaded by Jadd's returns policy, several reviews,  and purchased them anyway. The boots are very well made with enough leather on each side of the stitching to ensure a strong bond. The sole is well seated and clearly, they can be resoled; something that is quite rare today. The eyelets ensure that shoe laces will not pull through the leather and are located in the correct position to hold the boot to the foot correctly. Clearly, these boots require breaking in and therefore, there is a small amount of heel slip that will cause some rubbing initially; that I think, is normal for all good shoes/boots. I tend to take a wider fitting; size  9. 5 G, (based on other manufacturer's sizing), and these boots fit perfectly. Stitching on the leather has been properly reinforced in all weak areas of the boot. On the whole, I can honestly say these boots are on par with the best made "vellies" I've seen, which came from Duiwelskloof. , SA

I had looked on quite a few websites selling desert boots before I came across Jadd Shoes. The no-nonsense website was intriguing to be honest and with Jadd’s workshop being only 50 mins from my location, it left me longing to visit and find out more. We visited one afternoon and spent approx 1. 5hrs talking to Jadd about the quality of shoes, construction methods and shoes and boots in general. Great chatting Jadd, many thanks. The Desert Boots I tried on were examples straight off the shelf and were really comfy. I could have worn them all day, and sort of forgot I had them on whilst chatting. I showed Jadd that my feet were slightly bulging out the suede at the ball of the foot and he offered to make me a customised pair. He traced round both my feet and measured their circumference at different locations. Jadd then found the closest fitting last. He showed me where he would add extra material to the last to make my boots. Brill - this exceeded my expectations. We then talked leathers, soles, stitching and my request for no toe puff. There was no extra cost for the bespoke service. In less than a week the bespoke desert boots in Sand and natural crepe sole arrived. They are top notch. They are beautiful in their own way and the fit is as you’d expect after your feet have been measured. The suede is really thick and soft and the boots feel like slippers. I am impressed by the neat stitching and how simple but excellent the design is. I’m glad I went with no toe puff. I love the reverse suede and the luxurious grain on the inside. The heel grip is the icing on the cake which makes the boot work really well. I have only worn them around the house so far because the weather outside is typical for November in England. I’m now thinking about my next pair - desert shoes in a light Brown I think. I can thoroughly recommend Jadd shoes and Jadd’s Desert Boots

I bought them in 2021, and they are now entering their fourth season. The shoes have held up incredibly well. Absolutely top-notch quality and craftsmanship. The leather and all other materials are of excellent quality.

I’ve been looking for a pair of desert boots for a while. A bit of research & Jadd really stood out above the other brands. The option & choice of soles & the sourcing of the best quality of the leather along with the made to order traditional British manufacturing techniques. Bespoke! I enquired about a Desert Boot with a Lactae Hevea sole with Tobacco Suede on a Saturday evening. Half an hour later I received a reply confirming they could be made. I ordered them straight away. So, they arrived earlier than the three weeks quoted. These boots are beautiful. The craftsmanship is superb. They fit & feel amazing. The leather/suede is stunning. The Tobacco Suede & Lactae Havea sole was definitely the right choice (for me). You’ll have no regrets treating yourself to a pair or two.

This is the 3rd pair of Boots I have purchased from Jadd. These boots are so comfortable to wear and look great with a pair of chinos or jeans. Service from Jadd was excellent, as it was before, and I believe I got excellent value for money.
