Pro Classic investment piece
Newbury boots have been around since 2009 and have not gone out of style. This boot, in a classic, neutral color, is a "Buy it for life" shoe. With good care of the suede, using a cobbler, the shoes should last forever. They are instantly recognizable and are commonly seen in fashion magazines, on celebrities, and more.
Pro High but comfortable heel
Heel is 3.5" but feels smaller. The block heel makes it more stable and works well for commuting to work and walking throughout the office
Pro Permanent Collection
