Shop JOBOLT Cassia Combat Boots – £219.99 →

Combat boots have been a wardrobe staple for decades, but most of them make the same trade-off: tough and practical, or elevated and stylish. The JOBOLT Cassia boots refuse to pick a side. Black calf leather, shearling trim, a 7.8cm heel, and a lace-up front — this is a combat boot that means business without looking like it's trying too hard.

Here's a proper look at what makes the Cassia worth considering in 2026.

The Leather & Shearling Combination

The upper is black calf leather — smooth, structured, and the kind of material that holds its shape and develops character with wear. Calf leather is softer and finer-grained than standard cowhide, which gives the Cassia a more refined look than your average combat boot without losing any of the toughness.

The shearling details on the outside are what set this boot apart from the crowd. Shearling adds texture and a subtle warmth to the silhouette without making the boot look bulky or overdone. It's a detail that reads as considered rather than decorative — the kind of thing you notice up close and appreciate from a distance.

The Heel

At 7.8cm, the heel on the Cassia is substantial enough to give you real height but stable enough to actually walk in. That's a harder balance to strike than it sounds — a lot of heeled combat boots either go too low to make a difference or too high to be practical for a full day out.

The 7.8cm heel also changes how the boot works with your wardrobe. Combat boots with a flat sole are great with jeans and trousers. Add a heel and suddenly they work just as well with midi skirts, dresses, and tailored pieces. The Cassia is genuinely versatile in a way that flat combat boots aren't.

Fit & Comfort

The lace-up front gives you proper control over the fit — you can adjust the tension around your ankle and calf to get it exactly right, which matters more with a heeled boot than a flat one. The cushioned insole handles the impact of the heel well, and the ankle support built into the construction means you're not wobbling around after a few hours.

These boots run true to size. If you plan to wear thick socks, size up. The lace-up design gives you enough adjustment room to accommodate different sock thicknesses without the boot feeling loose.

How to Style the Cassia

The Cassia is one of those boots that earns its keep across multiple outfit types:

With straight-leg jeans — tuck the jeans into the boot or let them sit over the top. Either works. The shearling detail shows best when the boot is visible.
With a midi skirt — the 7.8cm heel and the combat boot silhouette create an interesting contrast with a flowing skirt. One of the best ways to wear this boot.
With a dress — a simple black or dark dress with the Cassia underneath is a strong, easy combination that works for evenings out.
With tailored trousers — cropped trousers that sit just above the ankle show off the boot properly and give a smart-casual look that's hard to get wrong.

Handmade in Brazil

The Cassia is handmade in Brazil by skilled artisans — a country with a long tradition of quality leather footwear craftsmanship. The rubber sole provides solid grip across different surfaces, and the overall construction has the kind of solidity that tells you this boot is built to last more than one season.

At £219.99 with free UK delivery, the Cassia sits at a price point that reflects the quality of the materials and the handmade construction. Calf leather, shearling trim, a proper heel, and a lace-up fit — these aren't cheap components, and the boot doesn't feel like it cut corners anywhere.

Care Tips

Wipe the calf leather clean with a soft cloth after wear
Use a soft brush on the shearling trim to keep it looking fresh
Apply leather conditioner to the calf leather every couple of months to maintain suppleness
Store in a cool, dry place — ideally with a boot shaper to maintain the silhouette
