Expert Reviews
YouTubeGentleman's Gazette
Disappointingly constructed for the price. While featuring quality calf leather uppers and Goodyear welt construction, the shoe relies heavily on synthetic materials like rubber inserts, thermoplastic heel caps, and pressed leather fiber rather than all-leather construction throughout.
Pros
- Quality calf leather upper
- Goodyear welted with channeling
- Metal-reinforced shank
- Brown rubber heel cap matches brown sole edge
- Nice stitch density
- Made in Northampton, England
Cons
- Thermoplastic heel cap instead of leather
- Synthetic rubber layer under welt
- Pressed leather fiber materials used instead of solid leather
- Artificial material shank instead of leather
- Many nails in heel construction
- Sock liner with foam cushioning (some consider inferior)
