Navy leather long boots - do they actually exist??

I don't wear black which is fine for pretty much every clothing and shoe item (as alternatives can be found) apart from long leather boots.

I have a lovely pair of long tan leather boots and a short pair of navy suede boots. But I absolutely crave a lovely pair of long navy boots - and can I find them anywhere.....?

Black leather yes, tan leather yes, but when it comes to navy all the boots I can find are suede.

Is there something about the dying process than makes it difficult to make navy leather or is there something about shoemakers that makes them think that people who want navy want suede for some reason??

I did see one pair in Moshulu but the just weren't quite long enough as they came to mid calf rather than full length.

Am I destined to be disappointed???

So the Boden ones have arrived today - not sure about them though as I think they are a tiny fraction too long as they are creasing a bit. Will take a pic later when I'm not supposed to be working and post to see what folk think.

Just spotted these Seasalt ones, I THINK they are navy leather ("Fathom". Any Seasalt experts know what colour that is?)

Searching on Fathom on the Seasalt website produced lots of navy clothes so looks like these are navy leather, although a darker more muted shade.

Hmm not sure if they are navy or not - might email and ask. Am thinking of not keeping the Boden ones because of the fit not being quite right particularly as they are pull on and I think over time they will really crease
