The mornings are getting darker and the ground is getting softer. You know what that means.
Autumn has a way of separating the boots worth owning from the ones that just look the part. This is the season that LANX boots are built for.
THE 1985 COLLECTION
The 1985 Collection is where LANX began, named after the year Marv, LANX Founder, was born. It sits in that sweet spot between smart and casual, and are the kind of boots you can wear to work on Monday and not think twice about a trip to the bar on Friday evening.
For men, the 1985 range offers styles like Settle and Hoghton. Subtle detailing, clean silhouettes, and colourways that suit the season: Chestnut Grained with its rich red undertones, Brown Distressed for something a bit more rugged, and Conker for when the leaves start turning and you want your boots to match.
The women's 1985 Collection carries the same logic. Styles like the Whalley hiker-style boots, Dinckley derby boots, the Whitewell brogue shoe and Chipping brogue boot bring the same smart-casual balance to the women's range. Available in Chestnut Grained, Conker Distressed, Tan, and Black, and many more.
These aren't statement pieces; they're the styles you reach for without thinking.
THE ARTISAN COLLECTION
Then there's the Artisan collection for men and women. These are made in England, shaped by decades of shoemaking know-how. This was the first made-in-England collection that LANX ever released back in the day.
Where the 1985 range leans smart-casual, the Artisan collection leans into heritage. These are boots built on craft — the kind of construction that takes longer to do properly but lasts longer because of it.
If you're after something with a bit more history behind it, this is where to look.
HOW THEY'RE BUILT
The 1985 and Artisan Collections use leather sourced with care and constructed to reward long-term wear.
The 1985 uses full-grain leather with a full leather lining: the kind that softens and shapes to your foot. A cemented construction means the sole can be replaced rather than the whole boot. Buy it once, wear it properly, keep it going.
The Artisan Collection uses Charles F. Stead leather from Leeds — a tannery that has been part of the LANX story since early on. Their Dainite and commando-style soles keep things lightweight underfoot without losing the grip and durability you need through autumn and into winter.
BOOTS FOR THE SEASON
The 1985 gives you versatility: a boot that handles the commute, the scenic walk through the park, and whatever the weekend throws at it. The Artisan collection adds something a little deeper: proper craft, Made in England, built for anyone who wants a boot with a bit more behind it.
Whichever direction you go, you're covered.
Get 'em worn.
