Joseph cream leather cuban heel Chelsea boots, EU40, EUC

Joseph is a luxury fashion brand based in London that was started by Moroccan entrepreneur Joseph Ettedgui in 1972. The brand has since changed hands more than once and has boutiques globally, including an exclusive men's wear store on Savile Row in London. These Chelsea boots are a classic example of Joseph style - clean, classic, and modern. They're finished in cream leather with white elastic side panels at the ankles. The sculptured 2.5" cuban-style heel and soles are finished in black, and there's black contrast stitching to highlight the long, elegant pointed toes. They're marked size EU40, and a little tight around the toes for my size 9.5 feet, but they could work for a narrow foot in a size 9.5. However, I'd say these will work best for a size 9 foot. They're classic enough to work with tights and a business suit, but they'll work equally well for more casual looks, like with jeans. I acquired this pair used & restored them, including a full repaint in the original shade of cream, as they had a number of black scuffs and smudge marks. The soles don't have much wear, however, so I doubt they were worn more than a handful of times.
