“AW26 is a collection we believe will be truly loved,” says Chatham, “and we cannot wait for everyone to discover it and wear it throughout the season!”


F


or over 30 years, Chatham has been built on expert shoemaking, quality craftsmanship and a deep understanding


of footwear designed to last. With strong nautical roots and a long-standing connection to the countryside and the great outdoors, our collections are shaped by function, comfort and timeless style, designed to be worn, relied on and returned to season after season. Chatham footwear is created with real life in mind, combining performance with heritage design and trusted construction. For AW26, we have carefully pulled together


a collection that reflects how our customers truly live and move through the winter months. This season is about versatility and confidence, offering footwear that supports different lifestyles, environments and occasions without compromising on comfort or craftsmanship. By exploring different constructions, materials


and technologies, we have curated a collection that feels considered, balanced and unmistakably confident in its identity. Each style has been designed with purpose, ensuring there is something to suit every part of winter, from outdoor pursuits to everyday wear and smarter moments. A standout within the AW26 collection is our


expansion into wellington boots, marking a natural and exciting evolution for the brand. This season introduces natural rubber into the collection, chosen for its durability, flexibility and suitability for winter conditions. Designed for both men and women, our wellingtons are created with comfort, wearability and longevity firmly at the forefront. Men’s styles are available in a classic green,


offered in both high and low silhouettes, and feature Vibram soles for enhanced grip, insulated

linings for warmth, and an elasticated gusset for ease of wear. For women, the range is available in an elegant black, again in high and low options, delivering a refined silhouette that remains practical, comfortable and easy to style for long wear, whether out in the fields, walking, or attending winter festivals and events. AW26 also sees the introduction of a brand-


new hiking range, developed after identifying a natural gap in the market that aligns perfectly with our love of the outdoors. Designed to the same high standards and


construction principles found across the rest of the collection, these styles reflect our commitment to performance-led footwear. Featuring Sympatex linings, Vibram soles, and our signature sole spring comfort technology, they provide stability,


cushioning and protection with every step. Reliable, comfortable and built to perform, these are essential styles for those who enjoy exploring throughout the winter months. Another key addition this season is our men’s hunting boot range, created specifically for time spent in the field. Available in two shaft lengths, eight-inch and 12-inch, these boots have been carefully engineered to suit different terrains and winter conditions. With Sympatex waterproof linings and durable


Vibram soles, they offer protection, grip and comfort for long days outdoors, making them a dependable, hard-working choice for winter hunting and countryside pursuits. Alongside these more technical styles, AW26


also delivers footwear designed for smarter occasions. The collection includes polished leather men’s Chelsea boots, offering a refined option that transitions effortlessly from day to evening, as well as heeled suede Chelsea boots for women, bringing a sense of softness, understated elegance and versatility to the range. These styles ensure the collection moves seamlessly between outdoor functionality and more elevated moments. Continuity remains an important part of


the AW26 offering. We continue to build on the success of our trusted Vibram-sole boots introduced last winter, alongside some of our fan-favourite walking boots, offering the reassurance of returning to styles customers know and love, refreshed with new materials and updated colourways. The collection features a rich mix of premium leathers, including suede, nubuck and polished finishes, with a colour palette that balances classic winter neutrals with subtle brighter tones. AW26 is a collection we believe will be truly


loved. Carefully curated, thoughtfully designed and made for winter in all its forms, we cannot wait for everyone to discover it and wear it throughout the season, enjoying it as much as we do.
