About the product
The Fairfax and Favor Anglesey Boots are your new go-to for outdoor wear, whether that’s when popping into town, or when walking in the countryside.
Crafted from luxurious nubuck with a suede trim, these boots also boast a super cosy shearling lining, that provides extra warmth and cosiness in cold weather. To the front of the boot are laces with a decorative branded tab, plus branded metal lace ends. This, paired with the other subtle branded details, make the Anglesey ooze quality and class.
What were your first impressions?
I was extremely impressed with the packaging of this product. The boots arrived in the classic Fairfax & Favor box, and nestled inside within protective branded cotton bags are the boots. This adds an extra level of luxury and would be great if these were a gift (to someone other than yourself!). The boots themselves are true to the pictures online and have a lovely solid sole, perfect for winter.
How was the sizing & fit?
I went with my usual size in the boot, they are on the narrower side for a country ankle boot but I have found them extremely comfortable. The laces at the front allow for the boot to be custom-fitted to your ankle and leg, allowing for a range of calf sizes to wear these mid-calf boots. The side zip makes them easy to put on and off and means you don’t have to unlace to wear them (perfect for slipping into at the yard).
How did you test the product?
These have been my chosen footwear during the cold and blustery January. I have worn these to work, to social events, to the rugby, and to nip to the shop! They have kept my feet snug at each event.
What was your favourite feature?
I really like the lining of this boot, it is soft and warm, but doesn’t overlap the edges of the boot, which stops it from becoming dirty or damp in the winter weather. I also like the gold embellishment on the laces, with a branded gold plate on the bottom lace crossing giving an extra level of class to the boot.
Any other comments?
These boots do have a higher price point than seen with high street branded boots, however, the perfect finish and high standard justify the pricing on these amazing boots.
