Common questions
Are LANX boots waterproof?
Some are. The Ribchester (men) and Edgworth (women) have a waterproof membrane with sealed seams. Many other LANX boots, like the Garstang and Reed, aren't listed as waterproof, so check the product page if you need boots for wet weather.
Do LANX boots run true to size?
It depends on the style. The Ribchester, Garstang and Settle are true to size, the Edgworth runs large (go half a size down), and the Reed runs small (go half a size up). LANX gives sizing advice on each product page, and exchanges are free.
Does LANX have a sale?
LANX doesn't run big sales often, but some colours are discounted. Right now, the Ribchester in Bottle Green is 25% off at £180. See the latest LANX offers
Are LANX boots worth the money?
They cost more than high street boots, but the leather is thicker, the soles can be replaced, and every pair comes with a 12-month free repair warranty. If you look after them, they should last much longer than cheap boots.
Are LANX boots made in the UK?
Some are. LANX makes most of its footwear at its factory in Whalley, Lancashire, and works with partners in Portugal and India for some styles, including waterproof boots. Each product page says where that pair is made.
How do I look after leather boots?
Brush off mud after wearing, let them dry naturally away from radiators, and use a leather conditioner every few weeks in winter.

Ribchester Chelsea Boot
If you want one pair of boots for everything, from the office to a muddy dog walk, this is it. The Ribchester is waterproof, thanks to a breathable membrane with sealed seams inside, and it's been tested by SATRA, the footwear testing lab.
The Vibram sole grips well on wet, icy and snowy ground, and the boots are light and comfortable straight out of the box. Owners rate them 4.8 out of 5 from 86 reviews.

✕What to Keep in Mind

Garstang Chelsea Boot
The Garstang is LANX's most reviewed men's boot, rated 4.85 out of 5 from 97 reviews. It's made in England, using waxy pull-up leather from a tannery in Leeds, with a British-made Dainite rubber sole.
The leather lining and Blake stitching give it a smarter look than the Ribchester, so it works well with chinos or a suit for a wedding or a night out.
