Charles Goodyear Jr. came up with the brilliant idea of placing a cork-filled welt between the sole and insole of a shoe, making it comfortable and durable. 150 years later, a thought springs to mind: ‘Why not make the sole in rubber to improve traction?’ We’ll do anything to avoid a slip-up. Discover other areas of our men’s shoes selection too, including ultimate comfort shoes , extra lightweight sole shoes and flexi sole shoes .

Chelsea boots have elasticised sides that stretch and allow you to slip the shoes on or off. They are ankle high and typically close fitting.
Chukka boots
Chukka boots are ankle-high and lace up using 2-4 pairs of eyelets. Ours are made from premium leather and suede.
Derby shoes
Derby shoes have open lacing (unlike Oxfords which have closed lacing). The shoelace eyelets are sewn on top of the uppers, giving a slightly more relaxed look.
Loafers
Loafers are slip-on leather shoes with a broad flat heel.
Monk shoes
Monk shoes are fastened with a buckled strap rather than laces. They're less formal than Oxford shoes, but smarter than brogues or Derby shoes.
Oxford shoes
Oxford shoes have enclosed lacing where the shoelace eyelets are stitched underneath the top section of the shoe. This creates a cleaner, more formal look.
Boat shoes
Our boat shoes have a leather upper with a waxy finish, and hard-wearing rubber soles.
Work trainers
Our leather work trainers are superbly comfortable, yet still smart enough for the office. They have a hardwearing rubber sole.
Wholecut
Wholecut shoes are made from a single piece of high quality leather. They have virtually no stitching, giving them a flawless, formal look.
Driving shoes
Driving shoes are slip-on shoes, normally made from suede. They have a lightweight moccasin construction with little rubber nubs on the sole for extra grip.
