Why use shoe trees?

2009-10-29T05:37:00.000-07:00

Many men don't keep shoe trees in their shoes, this means their shoes are more likely to lose their shape. But more importantly a Cedar wood shoe tree will absorb moisture and prevent odours. Perspiration is like an acid and will gradually rot the linings of a shoe and then start to weaken the upper leather itself. Regular polishing and use of absorbent shoe trees are therefore essential in maintaining the longevity of your shoes.

Sanders & Sanders Quality Footwear

2009-10-09T02:34:00.001-07:00

Sanders & Sanders Ltd. was established in 1873 by brothers William Sanders and Thomas Sanders of Rushden, Northamptonshire. They had a vision of offering outstanding quality footwear to discerning members of the public throughout England. They and their five craftsmen, selected the finest English hides, the best local oak-bark tanned soles and began to design and make boots. This vision has since passed down from father to son and the company is currently in the forth generation of family management, employing over one hundred craftsman. The traditional skills are now complemented by the most modern production machinery and advanced computer control systems, but the Company's commitment to quality is unchanged. Sanders & Sanders Ltd. is one of the few manufacturers in its field to be awarded the coveted ISO9002 (BS5750) Quality Assurance accreditation. As well as supplying the United Kingdom market, the Company today exports footwear directly to over thirty countries across five continents

The Sebago Ethos and Shoes

2009-10-02T01:51:00.000-07:00

We move instinctively to the water, where we marvel, splash, and drink it all in. Sebago aspires to solidify that connection. From spirited adventurers to those merely aspiring to bathe in water's essence or coexist with its presence, Sebago's unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and a passion for authentic styling brings people closer to water and all it represents. Where water takes you.

A History of Loake Shoes

2009-09-25T01:13:00.000-07:00

The Loake family has been producing fine, handmade men's footwear for longer than anyone can remember.
The tradition began in 1880, when three brothers - Thomas, John and William - opened a factory in Northamptonshire in the heart of the English shoemaking industry. The aim was to provide the most handsome, comfortable and durable gentlemen's shoes possible.
Today, more than 125 years and five generations later, Loake is still family owned and operating in the same town in Northamptonshire. Our shoes have become a favourite with discerning customers worldwide and are exported to over 30 countries.
Loake is most famous for its Goodyear Welted footwear, an intricate construction with origins that can be traced back over 300 years. We estimate we have made over 50 million pairs.
Our premium Goodyear Welted shoes continue to be made in England and take eight weeks to produce. Some 130 skilled craftspeople, up to 75 shoe parts and approximately 200 different operations are involved. Only the very highest quality materials are used.
While Loake remain passionate about the quality that only time-honoured skills and a family heritage can achieve, in other respects Loake has a very modern approach.
The range of footwear on offer has been extended to include new constructions and a choice of both classic and contemporary designs. They also place special emphasis on fit and have developed unique comfort technology.
The modern outlook can also be seen in a number of recent collaborations, including the remake of an iconic shoe for international sports brand Puma.
Loake was awarded a Royal Warrant of Appointment to the Queen in 2007.
