The
Chieftain
I absolutely love my chieftain shoes, to the point where I recently ordered a second pair when the kudu leather edition became available. The quality and craftsmanship is apparent throughout every detail and you can really feel it. The break in period was very short for me and the shoes fit me like a glove. It's the quality and feel that made it very easy to pull the trigger on buying a second pair with a different look and feel to them but with the same quality and craftsmanship you can expect.
In the past I always struggled to find shoes that fit properly, were quality made and looked good. I always had to sacrifice one of the 3 for a shoe but no longer. My chieftain boots have been my go to for pretty much everything ever since I first took them out of the box.
If you're looking for a quality shoe made with clear craftsmanship, look no further. I can't recommend them enough
I’ve worn my Chieftains for over a year, in various weather conditions and they’ve never let me down. The leather has aged with a beautiful patina and the soles will be good to go for many more miles. High quality shoes that I look forward to wearing for many more years!
Beautiful boots, fitting for my wedding day! The smell and feel of the leather is beautiful and puts a smile on my face
Absolutely amazing
Really pleased with my purchase, excellent quality, the boots are comfortable right out of the box.
I have sightly wider feet and I didn't have any issues with them.
Met zorg aan huis geleverd, prachtig verpakt met een gepersonaliseerd kaartje, twee handige schoenzakken, een “shoe passport” en een Lennertson‑brochure. Zodra je de doos opent, komt die heerlijke ledergeur je tegemoet. Je wil ze meteen aantrekken en een eerste wandeling maken. Ze zitten perfect — en ik vind ze ook nog eens bijzonder mooi.
The Kudu leather is absolutely breathtaking. This is my first pair of Chieftains, and let me tell you, the fit is amazing. The finishing touches are spot on, and the color is easily one of the most versatile boot tones out there because it shifts between taupe, olive, and a grey-navy mix depending on the lighting and what pants you wear. It is just such an incredible boot. Regarding the fit, the size is exactly the same as most of my other boots like Red Wing, which is one full size down from my standard sneakers by Nike or Adidas. I will certainly be buying another pair from Lennertson in the future.
Prachtig om deze schoenendoos te openen , ze passen perfekt !dit is zeker een zéér mooie schoen en plezier deze te dragen mijn welgemeende dank om de perfecte servise en kwaliteit .
The Lennertson Chieftan boots in black are excellent. They look strong, stylish, and timeless, while feeling comfortable and stable from the first wear. The craftsmanship is impressive, and the boots give you a real sense of quality and confidence.
They offer a premium look and feel at a very fair price. Great comfort, great style, and great value for money. Five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Opened the box and boy was I happy, they are beautiful, I find them extremely comfortable and they are on a par with boots that cost a multiple of the price
Amazing quality. The fit and finish is perfect and they are very comfortable. Durability is excellent, after many times of wearing them the leather and shape stays nice. And of course, great looks!
High quality. Ordered a 1/2 size down from sneakers and the fit great. Generous toe box. The kudu are very cool.
Habe den dunkelbraunen schuh in 43,5..etwas steiferes leder als der schwarze chieftain,optisch schön,eingehzeit tauert etwas länger,kein proplem! habe den schuh auch bei waldspaziergänge und leichten steilen gelände an,gute stabilität und gripp an der sohle!
ich muss gesundheits einlagen verwenden bei längeren spaziergänge,aber ich hab festgestellt,daß es ohne auch geht,und die lederbrandsohle gar nicht so wenig dämpfung zum boden hat,daß mag ich!super schuh,hält was aus,schnürrsenkel hab ich gegen dickere ausgetauscht,einfache pflege,und super emailverkehr mit den Betreibern vom lennertson team
i really liked them
The shoes not only look great, they are great in many ways. After a while, they fit like a glove and offer stability on rough trails. They are real eye-catchers. My Friends.
Mooie gemakkelijk zittende schoenen!
Super en fantastisch kwa pasvorm ga zo door
Beautiful boots, great founders, and excellent customer service. If you have a question, you’ll receive a quick response. The quality is outstanding.
when first wearing, the high rim was a bit rough and hard, but that got smoother after wearing for a while
so now, worn in, they are pretty perfect ! :
the leather is strong, it looks good, but above all the 'feel' is there: when walkng they give the stride a comfortabele, elegant and energetic feeling
always happy to put them on for the road
I've been looking for a long time to get high quality boots, that also look "business casual. Used them during winter, they did not disappoint. They keep their color and shape very well. High quality leather, soles, ...
They do take some time to break in compared to boots made with less thick materials.
Følte det var skikkelig håndverk ,gode å ta i .
I've had my Chieftains for a little over a year now, and I'm so happy with them that I've ordered a second pair. I wore them regularly through the winter and I'm usually pretty tough on my shoes, so very impressed that they're still going strong with only minor wear on the soles. The waxed leather is robust and requires little maintenance beyond brushing. They're smart enough to wear to the office, comfy enough to walk around in all day and look good with everything, really can't fault them.
Lennertson shoes are shoes of high quality. And for me the design is perfekt.
They are somewhat stiff in the beginning, but that changes with time and use.
I am very satisfied with my Chieftan Lennertson shoes/boots 🙂
During the unboxing the amazing quality and eye for detail stood out! I ordered my pair one size too large, and a different pair was quickly arranged with Robin. Absolutely amazing customer service.
Shoes have a great fit. Bit stiff at first and you have to wear them in, but then… heaven!
Great boots in which you feel the quality of the leather, the craftsmanship and attention to detail. Although they are sturdy, the break-in period was short. I love to wear them and would recommend Lennertson to others.
Have worn them for almost a year. Very little wear and tear on the boots. Great boot and look great. Customer support very helpful
Fantastic quality, personalised advice and prompt responses made for a great experience. I’ll certainly purchase again.
Top leder,angenehm zu tragen,und sehr griffige sohle,auch im winter,schuhe sind zeitlos,kann immer getragen werden,service und fragen werden nett und profisionel beantwortet,,,weiter so!!!
These boots look very stylish and they are comfortable after a few weeks of wearing them.
They definitely worth the price.
It’s great to have some Belgian designed and European made shoes. I love the look and feel of the more rugged refined boots. I love them for fall and winter.
FAQ
THE MICHAEL LAST
Rounded toe box, slightly increased width, medium arch support
Nearly three years were spent on its incremental development in collaboration with Michael James, the master last maker from the Springline company in Northampton, England.
Besides looking beautiful, the shape fits incredibly comfortable, as has been confirmed by all of our customers. People of all heights, weights, and sizes.
We're a Belgian-Dutch company based in the North-Eastern Limburg area of Belgium. Here we do our everyday work like designing shoes and communicating with customers.
Lennertson is also made up of the countless people who contribute to our mission. Be it our lastmaker in England, our craftspeople in Spain and Portugal, or you who wears our shoes anywhere in the world.
We grew up in working-class families and greatly admire the men and women who make our footwear. Fair & safe labor conditions are essential to us. We produce locally within the European Union, where the highest standards of these laws and rights are applied. We choose to only collaborate with companies that share our values. Being close allows us to visit frequently and maintain a close relationship with all our partners.
We source our leather traditional tanneries in Europe. European tanneries are strictly regulated by the European Environmental Agency, resulting in far more environmentally friendly tanning practices than in many other parts of the world. We only use leathers that are a side-product of the meat industry.
As part of our design process, we’re always discovering unique leathers and tanneries.
Here are some we frequently work with: Boaventura (Portugal), Alaska (Italy), Oehler (Germany), Annonay (France), Dafar (Serbia), Sciarada (Italy), Puccini (Italy), and more.
Our rubber soles are made by local European, family-run businesses as well.
Regarding footwear sustainability, construction methods are equally important to sourcing. Our shoes are Goodyear welted, with stitched soles instead of glued. This results in far more sustainable shoes that will last you a very long time and are endlessly repairable.
This question isn't actually asked frequently because customers fall in love with our shoes from the moment they open the box!
Lennertson shoes and boots are made in a traditional and artisanal way.
The process involves a lot of handcraft, and when machines are used, it's always a person's hand guiding the shoe. As such, it's perfectly possible for you to see slight imperfections: two stitches that are not the exact same size, slight color variations, etc.
A computer makes things perfect. A human makes things with passion, care, and unique character. That's how we see it, and we believe you will too.
We also choose to work with 'natural leathers'—uncorrected grain that isn't overly processed or coated. Its surface structure should not be perfectly uniform; but may include natural blemishes and marks reflecting its origins. Our leathers look and feel authentic because they are—made from an animal's skin.
