Alder - Dark Oak Calf

$385.00

Chelsea boots are a universal favorite, from board room to concert stage and everywhere in between. Simple detailing and supreme convenience make the chelsea an enduring style; add beautiful materials and Goodyear-welted construction to the mix and the result is a pair of JF "Alder" chelseas.

In contrast to our suede models, this calfskin Alder sits on our chisel Saint Helens last for a sharper, aggressive look; meanwhile rubber Street Walker Soles keep the overall silhouette slim and streamlined. This pair in Dark Oak Calf is the perfect versatile boot, pairing effortlessly with just about any shade of blue, brown, or grey. 

    Saint Helens Last
    Full Grain Box Calf (Europe)
    Leatherboard Heel Stiffeners
    Hand-Lasted Waists
    Open Channel Sole - Street Walker
    Goodyear Welted
    Fully Leather Lined
    Made in Spain

    The Saint Helens last is the chisel last of our JF line. It is slightly elongated, but less so than our J. FitzPatrick line chisel lasts; it ultimately fits very true to size with a medium instep and a cut that closely follows the contours of the foot.  We recommend keeping your standard size with the Saint Helens last.

    The Saint Helens is a classic medium-fitting last:
    -Medium forefoot (neither too wide nor too narrow)
    -Medium instep, not as generous as our J.FitzPatrick Line lasts
    -Good for medium width feet
    -Slightly elongated last, yet very shaped to foot length/profile

    Keep the same size in what you wear from:
    -Most Crockett & Jones classic fitting lasts
    -Carmina lasts (except Simpson)
    -Cheaney
    -Church's
    -Most benchgrade English brands

    Length: Elongated (1-1/2 inches of space at toe)
    Width: Generous
    Instep: High
    Toe Box: Standard
    Last Shape: Hard Chisel

    Please note: Leather is a natural product. We take images of each shoe in all types of light to show you how the color varies. If you want a very specific color, it is best you ask us for an image of the size you wish to purchase, prior to purchasing.

    J.FitzPatrick shoes have a broad set of fit options, from true to size, on the slim side to more wide. It will be important to make sure you read about the specific last that you are looking to purchase.

    One thing to note across the board is that our loafers have been cut on the snug side, compared to the rest of the models. We did this so that you do not need to 'size down' when going for a loafer, rather recommending you stick to your oxford size (**read exception below)

    Here are a few general rules

    • Our insteps would be considered generous
    • All shoes with 6 eyelets will be even more generous in the instep
    • Any model in full suede will feel more generous to its leather counterpart
    • The boots have a forgiving instep in order for you to put them on easily
    • Any monkstrap made on the MGF or LPB will feel more generous to its oxford counterpart
    • If you wear your oxfords very snug, then size up for your loafers. However, for most we recommend taking the same size as your oxfords

    All shoe orders (outside of Sample/Clearance Sale products - see those rates below) above $100 shipped within the United States include free shipping via UPS ground shipping. Should you require a faster shipment via USPS or UPS, additional fees will apply.

    The USPS 2-day priority mail service used within the US aims to arrive within 2-3 working days depending on location. This is not a guarantee, however. Your tracking number provided will keep you up to date with your parcel. 

    We look to ship out all purchases 1-2 working days after the time of purchase (weekends not included). During "Sale" periods we aim to ship between 2 -4 days after the time of purchase as the increase in orders affects our ability to be any quicker. Add-ons involving changes to your shoes (toe taps, rubber sole bottoms) will increase delivery time by up to 14 days. Custom patinas will increase delivery time by up to 28 days.



    INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:

    All International Orders are shipped from NYC using UPS, DHL or USPS. Our typical courier is DHL but we will use the service that offers us the best rate. If you prefer one over the other and the one that you prefer is significantly more expensive then we will ask that you pay the difference between the best rate and the rate your preferred courier offers.

    If you prefer one courier over the other, and wish to pay the difference, please indicate this in the notes section of your order. Any failure to do, will result in using the default courier that pffers the best price. Before sending your parcel, we will send an invoice to cover the difference in pricing (should there by any).
    Please note: the shipping charge paid is just the fee to actually ship the parcel. This does not include any other fees to import your parcel into your country. 

    Any and all import duties/fees imposed by your local custom's officials on your parcel will be the responsibility of the customer to pay for. We do not control this and will not be held responsible for any surprises in charges as we do not impose them. Your government does. We declare the parcel at the value paid. We do no under-declare parcel values. Please do not ask us to do so.

    Please note, if you reject your order for not wanting to pay the custom's import taxation, we will be charged a fee for the return shipping. This fee will come out of your refund as we will are not liable for this charge due to your error in ordering. 

    For Remote Labeled Areas a surcharge of the price difference between what we normally pay and what they are quoting will be required to make shipment. 

    We look to ship out all purchases 1-2 working days after the time of purchase (weekends not included). During "Sale" periods we aim to ship between 2 -4 days after the time of purchase as the increase in orders affects our ability to be any quicker.
    We ensure each purchase during the time it is in transit until it is delivered to you. We require a signature for any goods delivered, at which point responsibility for your purchased goods passes on to the customer. If you are not the receiver of your purchase (for example a gift order) then the person who signs for the package confirms receipt and is accountable for the package.

    Orders shipped with different billing/shipping addresses will be scrutinized by our Anti-Fraud system. Of course we understand if one wants to ship to their work address. And we reserve the right to cancel any order that has been deemed fraudulent by our system.

    Shipping for non sample/clearance shoes varies per country and price threshold. To get an exact price quote, please add to your cart the items you intend to purchase, input your shipping address and you will then know exactly how much we charge to your destination.

    You will pay a different shipping price for cart value of $100 or less, $101-$200, $201-$400 and above $400.

    CLEARANCE / SAMPLE SALE SHIPPING POLICY:

    For sample sale/clearance sale pairs, US shipping is FREE for orders of clearance pairs above $400 (i.e. two models together that create a cart value over $400). We charge a flat rate of $10 for orders over $200, or a flat rate of $20 for orders under $200.
    International shipping of sample pairs is a flat fee based on shipping destination. See these below.

    These higher rates reflect the fact that we normally subsidize shipping to each client's destination, but sample sale shoes are discounted too heavily to allow us to take that same price hit; thank you for your understanding on this matter.

    International shipping rates for sample sale pairs are flat rates of:

    Africa: $90
    Asia: $65
    Australia/Singapore: $50
    Canada: $30 ($20 for purchases greater than $300)
    Eastern Europe: $50
    Western Europe: $40
    Latin America: $70
    Mexico: $30
    Rest Of World: $85

    Beautiful Boots & Great Value

    I got these as a Christmas gift for my son and he absolutely loves them. They look amazing, the leather is great quality and they fit like a glove. The quality is comparable with boots costing hundreds more. The customer service is exceptional. Often a rare thing these days. Highly recommend.

    Dark brown alder chelsea boots

    One of my top two favorite shoes in my collection (the other being dark brown suede Wenatchees also from J Fitzpatrick). The first few wears I was nervous about the fit but once I broke in the heel and used the correct orthopedic arch supports, the fit has been perfect. The rubber soles have good grip and the welt is super clean. I love the chiseled look - at first I was wary but it didn't take long to grow on me. Justin called before shipping me thr package to ensure the address I entered was correct. I look forward to giving him and the team more of my business! There are so many more beautiful shoes to pick from.
