TIMELESS DESIGN 

Made for years not seasons.

Based on classic designs, all of our shoes are crafted to outlast trends and be as stylish in the years to come as they are today. This makes them an excellent investment, especially since you won’t have to replace them as tastes change. You’ll always be in fashion when wearing them with suits, jeans, chinos or trousers.

PROPER LASTING 

Long term structural integrity.

To ensure your shoes have a firm, stable shape and structural integrity, we humidify the leather of the upper and place it on a foot-shaped mold called a last. There it air dries for at least 72 hours during which time the shape solidifies, and the leather fibers bond together. This guarantees your shoes will retain their shape for a very long time.

BLAKE STITCH CONSTRUCTION

Resoleable and comfortable from day one.

Stitched soles are the mark of quality footwear. With the Blake method, a row of stitching attaches the upper, insole, midsole and outsole. This results in a sturdy yet extremely comfortable shoe, plus it’s easy to resole when the time comes.

Details don’t only matter, they’re everything.

Pull-Up Leather

Robust pull-up leather is created by infusing the hides with hot oil emulsions and natural waxes during the tanning process. It takes on scuffs and scrapes better than any other, and develops an intriguing depth as it’s worn in.

EVA Sole

The high-density, lightweight and flexible EVA lug soles help you walk securely on most surfaces while providing excellent traction, abrasion resistance, shock absorption and mobility. An alternative to leather or rubber soles, they also look fantastic, especially with rugged styles.

Waxed Thread

Strong, flexible and resistant to wear and tear, waxed thread weaves easily through leather and acts as a sealant against moisture, mildew and dirt. It keeps your items intact and won’t unravel due to the lock stitching method we use.

Waterproof Membrane Lining

The cushioned membrane lining serves as an additional barrier against water and wind. It also regulates temperature, controls bacteria and odors while evaporating moisture from your skin to ensure your feet will stay fresh and dry.

Handcrafted with integrity

Great value shouldn't come at the expense of human dignity. For us, it's equally important to provide an excellent experience to you and to our craftspeople.

FAQs

  • What is your manufacturing process? 

    It takes at least 150 manual steps to make a pair of Beckett Simonon shoes. Our highly skilled and dedicated artisans either execute the step by hand (as in the cutting of leather and application of the soles) or with the help of a hand-operated machine. The entire process takes between 6 to 8 weeks to complete since we don't cut corners and pay extra attention to every detail in order to guarantee the longevity of our products and your continued satisfaction.

  • What size should I order?

    If you know your Brannock device size (the measurement tool you see in shoe stores), order that size. If you don’t know this size, but have dress shoes from other high-end brands, use that size. For reference, see our size chart. Please contact Customer Service if you need a personalized recommendation.

    All of our shoes are made with a standard D width, however, if you require a wide or slender fit, we might be able to accommodate you:

    If you have a wide foot, such as an E width, going up a half size should work for you (for example if you are a size 9E, order 9.5 with us).

    If you have a slender foot, such as a C width, going down a half size should work for you (for example if you are a size 9C, order 8.5 with us).

  • How long does it take to break-in the shoes?

    Generally, your shoes should be comfortable straight out of the box and require little or no break-in period. However, it’s a personal experience which depends on your foot shape, making sure you have the correct size, the types of socks you wear and the way you walk. If you find the shoes too stiff at first, don’t worry - they’ll soften and conform to the shape of your feet over time. If you experience any discomfort, we recommend you wear your shoes indoors before wearing them for a long period outside. If it persists, please contact Customer Service.
