Every decade of the early 20th century had its own shoe. Edwardian women laced up high boots under long skirts, the 1920s brought T-bar and Mary Jane shoes made for dancing, and the 1930s refined the elegant court shoe and the oxford heel. In the 1940s, wedges and lace-up shoes balanced style with wartime practicality, while the 1950s added slimmer heels, peep toes and saddle shoes.
Our vintage style shoes are based on original shoes from these decades. We keep the details that make each era recognisable, from the shape of the toe and the height of the heel to the straps, buttons and stitching, but make them in sizes you can fit and with the comfort of modern shoemaking.
Most styles are handcrafted in soft full-grain leather or suede. Many have leather outsoles that let the foot breathe and soften with wear, while our winter styles have rubber soles for extra grip. Many styles are also available in a wide fit.
Vintage style should not come at the expense of comfort. Many styles have soft silicone inserts beneath the leather insole, and the heels are shaped for balance and stability, so you can wear your shoes all day, not just for special occasions.
