From the 1910s to the 1950s, men's shoes went from formal boots to more relaxed everyday styles. Early in the century, laced ankle boots like the Balmoral were standard. In the 1920s and 1930s, two tone spectator shoes became the choice for leisure and summer. The 1940s brought sturdy military boots, and in the 1950s the saddle shoe became a youth classic.
Our men's styles are designed from these eras. The closed lacing on the Balmoral, the contrast panels on the spectator and the saddle across the instep are kept true to the originals, so the shoes look right with both vintage outfits and modern clothes.
Every pair is made in full-grain leather that softens with wear and develops character over time.
The shoes are built for everyday use, with a shape that gives room for the foot and a sole made for walking.
