We've been making the Galway boot for the best part of a century. Once called pattern 1836, the Galway is instantly recognisable from the distinctive curved arrowhead on its side. Both practical and full of character, the Galway has gained iconic status as the ultimate derby boot.

For Autumn 2023 we're introducing the Galway on a new last — the 303, a contemporary round-toe, which we believe will have the perfect balance for today's changing cut of trouser. The 303 Galway is available in dark brown London Grain and Espresso Suede. 

The style's strong, country heritage is reflected in the veldtschoen boot we continue to make in country calf on the rounded 64 last. Veldtschoen construction involves the upper being pulled over the welt for added weather protection, and was supposedly pioneered by the Boers of southern Africa before being adopted by the British military.

We also make the Galway with a goodyear welt in a wide variety of other leathers and lasts - sometimes casual, sometimes sartorial, always iconic. There's a strong line-up of cordovan Galways this autumn with Burgundy Cordovan & Aubergine London Grain joining variants with Black and Cognac Cordovans. They join Galways crafted from our waxed utah calf with dainite soles on the 82 - a chic yet casual take on the classic.
