Loake Fearnley Oxford Brogues 

Our first pick is the Loake Fearnley, a timelessly stylish pair of burgundy brogues that promise to give a flare of individuality to any outfit. These sophisticated brogues have been masterfully crafted from premium leather, making them both supportive and durable while still allowing feet the freedom to breathe naturally. Underfoot, Goodyear welted soles provide a quality finish while lace fastenings work to keep the Loake Fearnley secure throughout wear. When it comes to styling these suave shoes, they can be paired with a suit for formal occasions but are also versatile enough to team with jeans for a more casual look.

 

R.M. Williams Chinchilla Chelsea Boots 

 

Next on our list are the R.M. Williams Chinchilla Chelsea Boots, a highly comfortable pair with an iconic look. These smart boots are constructed from a single piece of burnished leather, giving them a smooth and streamlined aesthetic. As well as looking great, these boots are also highly practical thanks to their slip on design aided by their elasticated side panels and branded pull tabs. These boots would make a highly versatile addition to any man’s shoe collection thanks to their ability to seamlessly move between casual and smart/casual outfits.

 

Jeffery-West Hunger ‘Headstone’ Monk Strap Shoes 

If you’re looking for a gift that’s a bit more unique, then the Jeffery-West Hunger ‘Headstone’ might just do the trick. Monk shoes are very on-trend this season and offer a formal alternative to more traditional Oxford and Derby styles. The Jeffery-West Hunger ‘Headstone’ are crafted from striking grunga shadow crust leather making them truly one of kind while still ticking all those practical boxes for comfort and support. Buckle fastenings and flag punch detailing add an extra layer of intrigue to these irresistible monk shoes.

 

Barker Darlington Derby Shoes 

On the other hand, if you’re looking for a more traditional style, then the Barker Darlington Derby Shoes might just be the ones for you. Derby shoes date back to the 1850s making them about as classic as they come. The Barker Darlington have been crafted from high shine brandy leather making them an excellent way to add a touch of personality to your work or formal outfits. Diamond shaped punching across the shoes toes adds another level of detail while lace fastenings keep them securely fastened. 

 

Saphir Médaille D’Or Ecrin V2 Shoe Kit 

 

If you still can’t decide on the perfect pair of shoes (or simply want to play it safe) then you can’t go wrong with shoe care. A shoe care kit is the perfect accessory for any shoe lover and they don’t come much better than the Saphir Médaille D’Or Ecrin V2 Shoe Kit. This kit contains everything that you need to keep your shoes in great condition and looking their best.

 Quarter & Last Multi Applicator Brush

If you want a tool that does it all, the Quarter & Last suede brush with a multi-application head is a great shout. It features a plastic handle with nylon and rubber bristles and is best used on medium weight suede. This product effectively removes dirt and dust from your footwear and will raise the nap (the fine fibres you can feel standing up) on suede shoes. 

Quarter & Last Shoe Trees
