The Loake Nevis Boot isn’t something you sum up in a spec sheet. The oiled nubuck alone—you have to touch it, feel it settle under your fingers—to understand its depth and weight. The gunmetal hooks anchor the boot in a heritage you’d expect at twice the price. Understated waterproofing keeps feet dry, while the design works on city streets or weekend trails. Put it in rotation, and your wardrobe gains a foundation.

1. Built for Weather, Built for Life
Nevis isn’t just a waterproof boot; it’s a boot engineered to survive unpredictable conditions without asking for attention.
All-Weather Protection: Waterproof membrane, taped seams, and a cushioned Castle sole keep your feet dry and comfortable, whether you’re sprinting to catch the train or walking the weekend trails.
Engineered Rubber Sole: Light enough to move freely, sturdy enough to take a beating—built for comfort that lasts all day, every day.
Padded Collar & Gunmetal Hooks: Classic hiker styling meets heritage cues—details that mean something, not just decoration.
It’s a boot that handles wet streets and muddy paths without skipping a beat, and without screaming, “look at me.”
2. Crafted Utility
Oiled nubuck uppers aren’t just for show—they’re tough, supple, and built to age gracefully. Every stitch, hook, and seam tells the story of Loake’s craftsmanship.

Taped Seams: A small detail with huge impact. Every seam is sealed to keep water out—proof that Loake doesn’t skimp on the bits you’ll only ever see if you actually look.
Refined Silhouette: Beyond utility, the last (Stream) ensures the boot doesn’t scream “hiking” in the city. It balances purposeful bulk with a shape that pairs with trousers or jeans effortlessly—functional yet polished.
Aging Gracefully: Nubuck, stitching, and finishing all respond over time. It develops character without losing composure. Unlike the cheap boots in the office, these improve with age—you’re investing in a story, not just a pair of shoes.
