A gent can never have too many shoes

Of all the boroughs named in the London Edit, this one is particularly special: the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is the only one with royal status. Oooooooo fancy. And the official stamp of the aristocracy can be found throughout all areas of this borough. From Kensington Palace to the Royal Albert Hall there's signs of blue blood everywhere. To look like royalty, one must start from the feet up. The lads in the royal family are often spotted sporting a pair of double monk straps... in tan. We can't promise that theirs can boast a lovingly hand burnished premium quality aniline leather.

These shoes are made on King last, a regal classic with a powerful chiselled toe shape. King is a well fitted last with an allowance of dress space at the toe to allow for the elegant toe shape. If you are between sizes we suggest you may like to size down to the full size below.

Product Details

Premium quality leathers

We only use the finest eco-friendly, vegetable tanned, "A" grade leathers - sourced from the best tanneries - in order to produce high quality and durable shoes. This particular one is a premium buff calfskin leather, which has been primed to accept the unique colouration applied by our master craftsman. 100% chromium free.

Hand-painted for a unique finish

The beautifully detailed finish of this shoe is achieved by hand tamponation. This is a process passed down from one generation of highly skilled technicians to the next. Coloured creams are applied by a small sponge and brushed to all parts of the shoe's upper. In some areas, a little more colour is added to create a highlight. The colour is then spread more evenly by an ironing process. After drying, this process is then repeated, before the shoe is buffed: first by a finishing cloth, to evenly spread the colour, then sealed by wax on a natural wool buffing wheel. This process means we are not limited by colour selection and freedom to create unique finishes - allowing us to offer our customer an exclusive and unique product.

Soft calfskin lining

We combine a soft calfskin leather lining with a printed cotton skeleton for comfort and breathability. The sock and collar are not only luxurious, but they improve comfort and give the shoe strength and support in the key areas.

Durable anti-slip sole

This shoe utilises a TPR (thermoplastic rubber) sole for greater durability, flexibility, comfort and grip. Along with hard-wearing properties, the sole features the trademark Goodwin Smith detailing - because style and substance can coexist.

Hand cut leather selection

In order to offer the best shoe possible, we ensure that only the best sections of leather hide are used in production. To achieve this, the leather selection and cutting processes are done by hand. While this is much more laborious than using moulds or lasers, we are able to avoid cuts, looseness or other unwanted imperfections on the finished article.

Subtle branding

Every shoe in our collection is linked by consistent detailing, synonymous with Goodwin Smith. From the use of a navy blue highlight detail on the heel tap or collar, to our famous stag logo embossed to the heel, the devil is in the detail. The full logo is gold foil, and can be found printed to the sock, debossed into the soles, leather waist, and even rubber sole tread. Any shoes with a brogue toe cap carries stylised GS initials within the exquisite punching. Because it's the little things that matter.

Beautiful Shoes

I have had so many positive comments about these shoes since I purchased them and have only worn them 3 times. I don't think I'll ever stray too far away from GS shoes in the future - thank you GS
