Versatile and elegant, these shoes are ideal for a multitude of occasions, whether for a casual look or a dressier outfit. At In Corio, each pair is designed to meet the expectations of men looking for quality and refinement.

Why choose men's camel boots?

The camel colour brings a warm, modern touch to your outfits. Bolder than black boots, it pairs easily with clothes in neutral shades or brighter colours. Whether with raw denim or beige chinos, it suits every situation.

At In Corio, we select the finest materials, such as full-grain leather or suede, to guarantee impeccable quality. Our artisanal manufacturing methods ensure a unique attention to detail, combining aesthetics and durability to accompany you season after season.

How to wear your camel boots

For the office: pair your boots with grey flannel trousers and a light shirt for a sophisticated silhouette. Casual style: wear them with raw denim and a beige or grey knit jumper for a relaxed yet polished look. Special occasion: combine them with a light blue or beige suit for a modern, refined contrast.

Care and durability

To keep your boots looking elegant, clean the material regularly with a soft brush. Apply a nourishing cream to keep the leather supple, and always store them with cedar shoe trees to preserve their original shape and prevent creases from forming.

Camel catches the eye without ever overdoing it. It is a slightly more delicate shade to wear and to care for than a dark brown, but no other gives an autumn outfit as much light. Here is our advice on choosing it, pairing it and keeping it looking good.

What is the colour camel?

Camel is a light brown, leaning towards yellow and beige, softer than cognac and warmer than sand. It is the lightest shade among our different men's ankle boot models.

From camel hair to the men's wardrobe

The word first describes the colour of camel hair, a warm, light fibre long woven for coats. The camel coat settled into the men's wardrobe in the 20th century, and the shade has remained associated with a warm elegance that is easy to wear from autumn to spring.

Why camel goes so well with suede

The nap of suede absorbs light instead of reflecting it. On a light shade like camel, it gives a soft, deep colour, without the shiny look that a smooth leather of the same shade would have. This is why most camel ankle boots are in suede: the material softens the lightness of the shade and makes it easier to wear.

Camel, cognac, mahogany: the neighbouring shades

Cognac is more orange and richer, mahogany redder and darker. On grained leather, mahogany takes on coppery glints; on suede, camel stays matt and velvety.

How to wear camel ankle boots for men?

Camel ankle boots are best worn with deep colours, which bring out their lightness: navy, charcoal grey, olive green, burgundy.

The safest pairings

Navy raw denim jeans are the simplest pairing: the camel stands out against the deep blue. Grey flannel trousers and a navy jumper make for a smarter outfit. With beige chinos, we suggest keeping two distinct tones, so that the ankle boot does not blend into the trousers. Our article on the Martin boots offers more outfits for winter.

At the office

Camel can also be worn at the office, in an outfit without a suit: grey flannel or navy wool trousers, a sky-blue oxford shirt, a tweed jacket or a navy blazer. We then suggest sticking to suede, which is softer, and matching the belt to the ankle boot, in suede or light brown leather. With a dark suit, a chocolate or black ankle boot remains more coherent.

The seasons of camel

Camel suede is at its best in the mid-season, from September to November and from March to May. In heavy rain, grained mahogany takes over: it is less afraid of water and splashes.

How to care for camel suede ankle boots?

A camel suede ankle boot keeps its colour with regular brushing and a renovator applied from time to time. A light shade shows marks more readily: it is better to act early.

The care ritual

1. Leave your ankle boots to dry at room temperature after a damp day, away from a radiator.
2. Brush the suede dry with a brass brush, in one direction and then the other, to raise the nap.
3. Spray a suede renovator, colourless and suitable for all shades, to revive the colour.
4. Slip cedar shoe trees into your ankle boots to keep their shape.

The case of mahogany leathers

On mahogany grained leather, a light brown nourishing cream maintains the shade and hides small scuffs. Buffing with a horsehair brush then brings back the shine.

Which size should you choose?

Take your usual size for all your In Corio ankle boots, such as Martin. The only exception is boots with a commando sole such as Edgard, which run a little larger: we suggest taking half a size down.

In Corio comfort

The comfort of our boots comes from an ergonomic last, Blake stitched construction and a high-density latex foam under the leather insole. Our suedes and full-grain leathers come from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group, and each pair is assembled in family-run workshops in the Porto region.

Not sure about your size? Come and try our models and feel our leathers in our stores in the Marais, Saint-Germain-des-Prés or Lyon. Online, returns and exchanges are free.

Frequently asked questions about camel ankle boots for men

What should you wear with camel ankle boots for men?

Deep colours that bring out their lightness: raw denim jeans, grey flannel trousers, olive green chinos, a navy jumper. With beige trousers, keep two clearly distinct tones.

Is camel suede fragile?

No, but its light shade shows marks more quickly. Regular brushing with a brass brush and a renovator applied from time to time are enough to keep it neat. In heavy rain, grained leather remains more suitable.

What is the difference between camel and cognac?

Camel is a light brown leaning towards beige and yellow. Cognac is more orange and richer. Mahogany, darker, leans towards red.

In summary

Camel is the brightest of the browns. Our Martin combat boot interprets it in supple suede, to be worn with deep colours in the mid-season; Martin and Edgard in mahogany grained leather offer a neighbouring shade, more resistant to rain. Discover our models above.
