I just bought at the Cheaney outlet the last pair of the CHEANEY FIENNES Derby Veldtschoen Country Boot in Burgundy Grain Leather, which I expect to arrive before next Thursday. They had a 51% discount from their original price.

I'm sure these have been discontinued a while. Great looking boots!

The Fiennes celebrate almost ten years since they were launched at the end of 2012 "as part of a collection inspired by the great explorers", as they mention on their Facebook page. I don't know when they discontinued them, but there was only one pair in the outlet, precisely in my size.

Do you have any photos of them on foot? I haven’t really seen them as they would look when worn.

I must say they are becoming more and more appealing

Sure, wearing them today so I've snapped a few angles

I just bought at the Cheaney outlet the last pair of the CHEANEY FIENNES Derby Veldtschoen Country Boot in Burgundy Grain Leather, which I expect to arrive before next Thursday. They had a 51% discount from their original price.

They should have arrived last Wednesday or, at the latest, Thursday, but it was not the case this time.

The day before yesterday I received a response to an email in which I asked if they had any problems and why I had not yet received confirmation of the shipment. This is what they wrote:

"Good Morning

Thank you for your e-mail.

There is no issue with the availability of the footwear, the boots you have ordered are a discontinued style hence the sale price, however all our reduced price outlet stock is held at our outlet store in the O2, London.

Our courier is due to deliver the stock for your order to our head office today, it could be here as late as 3pm, if this is the case it will be shipped tomorrow. However if it arrives earlier in the day we will do our best to get the order packaged and sent today.

You will of course receive a further e-mail when the order has shipped with the tracking details and we trust that the boots will arrive safely with you before the Easter weekend."

However, yesterday I received the following message:

"Thank you for placing an order with us.

The boots have just arrived with us from store and unfortunately they are not good enough quality to send to you.

They appear to have been polished with a much darker polish, which has also transferred onto the inner linings of the boots

Please accept my apologies for this.

We don’t have another pair to replace it with so on this occasion I have cancelled the order and reversed the payment

Sorry for any inconvenience and disappointment caused by this

Kind regards".

Anyway, a shame because I really liked those boots. I also felt like it's a bit of a strange excuse, so I asked to see some photos to decide for myself if the cosmetic issues were enough to cancel my order, as it could go by like "seconds". This was their answer:

"I am afraid we would not be willing to sell them to you as they are simply not good enough and not a true reflection of our quality

Sorry it not better news."

Oh, well, they were not for me...

This is probably not what you want to hear right now, but personally, I think they did you a favour. They don't look that good.

HERRING X CHEANEY, KIRKDALE
Veldtschoen construction for a rainy day…

Wow....just checked Cheaney's web page and see some serious price increases have hit the entire product line. The balmoral boots I have been hemming and hawing over are now 530 pounds, up from 479 pounds. I bought these boots in burgundy for 400 pounds not more than 1 year ago. Massive inflation over at Cheaney. I guess my collection stops growing at 5 pairs. Too rich for my blood.

I checked this morning their outlet section, as I have been following it after I got cancelled my previous order: prices had increased by 15% in what I was looking for, that now, as a novelty, are shown in my local currency. As my income doesn't grow at the same rate, Cheaney has lost me as a customer, at least for a while.

I decided to go for Berwick, a Spanish brand that seems to have a very good quality/price ratio and a substantial difference in their prices.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had not heard of Berwick before. Yes, much more affordable than Cheaney. I am shocked at how much they have raised their prices. Of course, everything is going up these days and in many cases, we're forced to pay these higher prices. But shoes are easily a luxury and this is one area where I can radically reduce my spending. I wish I did not wait to buy those balmoral boots. I was so close to buying them on many occasions but even at 479 pounds, I thought that was a huge amount of money. I have them in black and burgundy and would have liked to have completed the collection with the espresso brown pair. Oh well.

Good lord, $990 for a pair of Hanover Balmoral boots shipped to the USA!

I just had my order canceled too. I bought a pair of suede trafalgar boots from the outlet last week and the delivery estimate was for today, but instead of a shipping confirmation I just got a email canceling my order with no explanation. I wrote to them last Friday asking precisely about the delivery time and they said they’d be getting the boots from the outlet on Tuesday and they would ship them on that same day or Wednesday at the latest, so I have no idea what happened.

Screw that.
Luckily, most of us already have more than enough shoes.
