Base London was established in 1995, filling a gap in the market at that time for a men’s shoe brand that offered quality and style at a competitive price. 30 years on, Base is still offering a great range of styles and choice at prices that make them an everyday option. This year’s Base autumn/winter collection
has a wide selection of boots and shoes, from moc toe shoes to classic brogues, with prices starting from £39. All great additions to your winter wardrobe, here are a few of our favourites.
Woburn Hi Shine Brogues
£80
Classically styled brogues can be the perfect shoe to elevate an outfit, but a high-shine brogue makes a statement. These shoes, in Bordo, a deep brown with a red hue, are fabulous for the autumn months and will complement both formal and casual suits as we head into the festive party season.
With a fairly chunky rubber sole and cushioned Ortholite innersole, they should keep your feet warm and comfortable, no matter what the winter weather throws at you.
Locke Rub Off Derby Shoes
£80
There is something to be said for a more understated everyday shoe. Locke has a touch more style than your average plain-toe Derby shoe, with the ‘rub off’ look giving more depth of character and interest to this usually simple shoe.
The soles offer plenty of rubberised grip for the coldest months, making them a go-to pair for daily wear.
Plymouth Washed Toe Cap Boots
£80
As the winter weather sets in, there’s nothing quite like a decent pair of boots to make heading outside a more comfortable experience. These Plymouth washed toe cap boots from the Base autumn/winter collection effortlessly combine style and comfort, with cushioned inner soles and supple leather to cosset the ankle. They combine eyelets and ski hooks to hold the boot firmly, giving support where needed.
The sole offers chukka boot shallow cleats for grip without too much bulk, giving the boots a sleeker look.
These boots are a nice choice for smart or casual wear and will boost your wardrobe all season long.
Bristol Brogue Boots
£80
When you want to combine the style of a brogue with the practicality of boots, Base can help with that, too. Available in tan, black or brown, the worlds of classic and modern collide.
We particularly like them in tan, as they can be styled more casually with jeans or chinos, or with a navy or grey suit for more formal occasions. A great all-rounder that will keep your feet snug during the winter months.
