I've had a pair of the Signature Deserts in taupe for about 2 months now. Sizing is the same as a Clarks desert boot, shape of the toe is slightly more pointy than the original Clarks design. The quality of these boots is very good as is the attention to detail in the design. Very comfortable from first wear and remain comfortable on days with long walking. I swapped the laces out for flat laces for a more typical desert boot look which helped them to be styled more casually with chinos and corduroy trousers. They've been easy to style and have become my go to footwear of choice outside of the office. I even wore them in the Egyptian desert where they were practical as they were stylish.
Very comfy chelsea boots. But not as warm as i expected..at -5° C it gets too cold
Since I bought these boots I have lived in them. Cosy, warm and waterproof and with a minimal wipe over with a damp cloth they come up looking good enough to wear anywhere. First class product!
They look brilliant, seem like good quality and feel fairly nice. I find that they aren’t as flexible as other barefoot shoes because of the stiffness of the faux leather. I’ve had them for about a month now so this aspect might still improve. They are water resistant but not waterproof (as in my socks get wet in very heavy rain but not medium rain).
After having these boots for less than three months and wearing them only occasionally, one of the lace rivets came out near the toe rendering them no longer waterproof. By virtue of simply walking on hiking trails and clambering over branches the uppers have received multiple scuffs that have lead to further waterproof failure (which I've tried repairing/patching). The heel on one of the boots has also started to come detached. As a customer of Will's for many years, I'm now coming to the realization that unless you buy shoes with the 3DMX/ Cordura uppers, they will fail if you use them for anything other than casual walks in the city. I feel defeated because I struggle to find reliable and well built vegan work boots and Will's have continually failed to perform to my standards as an arborist.
Hi, thank you for your detailed review and for being a loyal customer over the years — we’re really sorry to hear the boots haven’t held up to the demands of your work as an arborist.
Have you tried our WVSport Waterproof Hiking Boots, or our most heavy-duty model, the WVSport Safety Work Boots? These are S3 SRC certified, so they’re technically rated as safety boots and built to a much higher standard for demanding use.
We will always refund, replace, or try to repair anything you purchase from us if you’re not happy. Please do message me directly at will@wills-vegan-shoes.com or reply to this email and let me know what you’d like to do — I’d love to help find the right boot for you.

Unfortunately, neither the first pair nor the second pair I exchanged were of the quality I would have expected for the price. Both pairs have deep indentations and holes in the upper fabric of the shoes, and creases where the shoe and sole are joined. In addition, there are many small holes where the sole is joined to the fabric itself, and the soles are partially attached unevenly. Sadly, the second pair also has ripped stitching and several torn seams. This is a shame, as I really like the idea behind the shoes, and I actually would have really needed the shoes right now.
The customer service only told me that the holes in the sole were normal and did not address the other deficits.
Hiya,
We’re really sorry for any confusion in our previous response — we should have explained this more clearly.
These boots are handcrafted in one of the top footwear factories in Italy. Because each pair involves hand craftsmanship rather than being purely machine-made, you can sometimes see small aesthetic marks as part of that process. These are not structural issues and won’t affect the performance or durability of the boots. We wanted you to know what they were not structural issues and can be expected, not on every boots but they can happen.
That said, we will always refund, replace, or try to repair any purchase made from us if you’re not happy at any point. Please feel free to message me directly at wg@wills-vegan-shoes.com and I'll take care of everything for you.

I love the material and the way it looks - very chic!
Looks great on me and can be well composed with many outfits. It is not really a winter-winter coat but for light winter it is a good choice.
I was not very happy that the customs were not covered by the store - I believe it should be a courtesy of the seller (and it is at certain shops!) to cover this cost, especially when it comes to this price range.
This was a present for my son and he loves it. Very good quality, well made and good looking. Nice buckle.
No fuss. Simple and functional shoe. Good quality. A must have for those special occasions in my opinion. Nope, wouldn’t wear the high shine black daily but you could. The shoe certainlyfeels like it could do that.
Ich trage diese Stiefel seit mehreren Wochen. Bisher haben diese hohen Schnee, Match und Pfützen ausgehalten. Meine Füße sind immer warm gewesen. Sie passen mir sehr gut. Habe die Schuhe für 2 oder 3 Wochen ein wenig einlaufen müssen. Jetzt ist alles perfekt.
The leather on the inside already started to fall apart after about one month. Too bad!
This case was purchased for our son who was immediately taken by how professional it looked. We appreciate your efforts to provide such an attractive briefcase.
I love this cardigan. It isn't an everyday-wear sort of thing, but really works well when indoors in cool/cold settings and in the evening. Looks and feels great.
This turtleneck was perfect for traveling light in cold weather. It is suitable for casual and slightly more formal environments. Very warm without being hot. Durable. I love the feel of it.
The coat looks great. Exceptional design! Sizing was really hard to do online. It fits my son better and he is six inches taller than me.
I couldn’t wear them. The buckles are cheap with one buckle arriving broken.

This is my second purchase of this product, in a different color. There is plenty of space for cards, cash, and ID.
Vegan, super comfy and they look great m!
10/10 when I first put on I thought they were too tight but after a session at the gym they moulded to my feet. I recon to the gym and active gym classes like box fit
