Tamara is a classic Chelsea boot made using traditional Goodyear-welting in the home of shoe-making, Northamptonshire. With the slightly raised heel and this rubber soles, we think this has a contemporary edge. Of course, being welted, it is also possible to repair them many times, meaning that you can tread lightly on the planet too.

Shoes that are made to fit the same size foot will vary in physical size due to differences in last (shoe) shapes. For this reason we cannot measure shoes to fit your feet.

This is a size guide based on our experiences working with customers from all over the world. Although we are confident of it’s accuracy, there can be anomalies and for this reason we cannot guarantee the conversion will always be correct.
