Find your size

Measure your foot from the heel to the longest toe and read across. Between two sizes? Take the larger for pumps and boots, the smaller for loafers, which give as the leather softens.

Fewer pairs, made properly

Fewer pairs, made properly

We make a small range of shoes and make each one the long way: leather cut by hand, uppers pulled over wooden lasts and left to set, soles stitched rather than glued.

It takes longer, and it means a pair can be resoled and re-heeled for years instead of thrown away when the sole wears through.

Read the care guide
Features Gridfeatures-columns

Three or four columns divided by hairlines — a fine gilt icon, a serif title, a line

How they are made

Welted soles

The sole is stitched to a welt, not glued, so it can be taken off and replaced.

Leather-lined

Leather inside as well as out: it breathes, softens and moulds to the foot.

Hand-finished

Every edge is trimmed, inked and burnished by hand before the shoe is boxed.

Resoleable

Worn soles and heels can be replaced, so a good pair outlasts many seasons.

Client Notestestimonials

Client notes as cards on a linen band: stars, the words in the serif, the client (photo or a gilt monogram) and the piece they bought, linked. The head shows the store's Queek rating, or the average of the notes' stars. Arrows and a hairline gauge page the cards past three; a phone swipes them.

  • Firm for the first week, then they fitted like they were made for me. The oxblood is even deeper in person.

The Filmfilm

The house on film. cinema: the film edge to edge, looping silently behind a scrim, the words low on the left in white, a button and a round play control that opens it with sound. framed: on paper, the words beside the film set in a mount. A YouTube or Vimeo link shows the poster and plays in the viewer; with only a poster the section stands as a still.

Enquiry Salondefault

The enquiry salon: on paper the words and a form (topic chips, name, telephone, email, a preferred date when asked, the message) that opens the store's WhatsApp, or the visitor's mail app, with the message composed — nothing is posted. Beside it a noir panel of the house: address, hours, lines, channels, a WhatsApp button, and the map when the location is pinned (else the photograph).
