Few things feel more rewarding than stepping into a new season with a fresh pair of shoes. The right footwear doesn’t just finish an outfit — it defines it, setting the tone for everything from office days to winter weekends.
For fall/winter 2025, we’ve teamed up once again with renowned French shoemaker Kleman to highlight six styles that capture the brand’s unique blend of craftsmanship, practicality and modern design.
Discover sturdy boots, refined derbies and versatile loafers that prove function and form can coexist beautifully — all handmade in France with the durability and understated elegance that define Kleman.
The Moc-Toe Derby
Kleman Padror
A bona fide icon in Kleman’s line-up, the Padror is the shoe that put the brand on the map. Originally designed for French tradesmen in the 1990s, this moc-toe derby has since become a cult favourite among those who appreciate rugged style and timeless simplicity.
Built to last, it features stitched leather uppers and a chunky rubber sole that feels reassuringly solid underfoot. The clean, utilitarian lines make it adaptable — pair it with wool trousers and an overshirt for workdays or selvedge denim and a roll neck on the weekend.
It’s a masterclass in workwear refinement: tough, functional and effortlessly stylish.
The Hybrid Sneaker
Kleman Granite
Sitting neatly between trail shoe and city smart, Kleman’s Granite is a hybrid sneaker that delivers everyday utility without shouting about it. The silhouette is streamlined and modern, but the DNA is unmistakably workwear-leaning — tough, practical and built to graft when the weather turns.
Textured leather uppers, a chunky outdoor-style sole for grip, and a quick-lace system make it as functional as it looks. The result is a pair that shrugs off wet pavements and long days on your feet while keeping outfits sharp and unfussy — exactly what you want from a cold-season staple.
Wear with straight-leg denim, a heavy knit and a waxed jacket for weekend errands, or smarten it up with wool trousers and a cropped mac for the commute.
The Hiking Shoe
Kleman Courrier
Equal parts practical and polished, the Courrier reimagines the classic hiking silhouette for everyday life. You get the same durability and support as a traditional hiker, but in a sleeker derby form that feels at home in both urban and rural settings.
Built from premium leather with a sturdy, anti-slip sole, it’s designed to handle unpredictable weather and year-round wear. Subtle outdoor-inspired details hint at its utilitarian heritage, while the refined shape and clean lines make it unmistakably modern.
The Statement Loafer
Kleman Dalior
The loafer may be timeless, but the Dalior proves it can still make a statement. Whether you pick high-shine, marbled leather uppers or bold colour contrasts — think black or brown leather with camo-inspired finishes — it’s a shoe designed to turn heads for all the right reasons.
While summer called for soft suede, autumn and winter demand something sturdier. Here, the smooth leather construction not only offers polish but adds durability, making it perfectly suited to colder, wetter conditions. The rubber sole keeps it grounded (literally), while the sleek profile ensures it remains versatile.
Pair it with wide-leg tailored trousers and knitwear for a contemporary twist, or with denim and an overcoat for a look that’s equal parts smart and subversive.
The Upscale Chukka
Kleman Parure
If you’re after a chukka that elevates rather than blends in, Kleman’s Parure is it. Handmade in France using premium vegetable-tanned leather, it’s a study in craftsmanship and quiet luxury.
The design details are subtle but thoughtful: reinforced ankle padding in complementary tones, clean two-eyelet lacing, and a sturdy yet elegant sole. The result is a boot that feels at home with tailoring but relaxed enough for off-duty looks.
Polished, practical and full of character — this is the modern man’s answer to everyday refinement.
The Classic Worker Boot
Kleman Spectre
The Spectre is Kleman’s most utilitarian design, a true worker boot through and through. Built for endurance, it combines water-resistant leather uppers with a solid lug sole that offers grip in even the most unpredictable weather.
Despite its rugged nature, there’s refinement in the details — neat stitching, metal eyelets and a padded collar for comfort. It’s tough enough for the outdoors but clean enough to wear with corduroy trousers and a heavy wool overshirt.
If you want one boot that can take you from the workshop to the weekend with ease, this is it.
