Footwear undeniably forms the foundation of any outfit, whether you're opting for leather trainers to either elevate a casual look to dress down a suit for a modern, sartorial twist on classic menswear. One essential requirement unites all wearers: comfort. The way a shoe feels throughout the day is key to ensuring your investment is worthwhile. At Robert Old, we always encourage you to prioritise how a shoe feels on your foot, as comfort is the cornerstone of both style and satisfaction.
Crockett & Jones...
At first glance, you might think that traditional shoes don’t offer much in terms of comfort. This is a common sentiment we hear from customers who haven’t yet experienced the pleasure of owning a well-fitted, Goodyear-welted shoe.
However, one crucial point to understand is that every foot is unique. Factors like arch support, width, toe shape, depth, and heel fit all vary from person to person, and your specific needs will depend on how you plan to wear the shoes daily.
That’s why we always encourage customers to visit our store. In-person, we can help you determine the ideal last shape (or fit) for your feet, guiding you toward styles that provide both comfort and longevity. At Robert Old, we take pride in offering personalized, one-on-one service, ensuring each client finds the best option tailored to their needs.
Sensational Santoni...
Andrea Santoni, son of founder Giuseppe Santoni, has meticulously curated a range of luxury footwear that blends contemporary design with the traditional craftsmanship the brand is known for. While staying true to this heritage, he continuously aims to surprise and delight with unexpected flashes of color, adding an element of excitement to every collection.
This autumn, we are introducing smart-casual options perfect for everyday wear, featuring rich navy and deep chocolate brown tones. These versatile pieces seamlessly combine style and comfort, making them ideal for daily use.
Santoni shoes typically feature an F-width fitting, which tends to be on the wider side. As a result, we often recommend that customers with standard-width feet consider trying a half-size down for the best fit.
Protecting Your Investment...
It may seem obvious to care for your shoes, but in reality, shoe care often falls to the bottom of the priority list. However, if you own more than one pair, a small amount of regular "preventive maintenance" can go a long way in protecting your investment. To extend the lifespan of your luxury footwear, we highly recommend consistent care. Simple steps like polishing and conditioning the leather can preserve its richness and prevent wear. At Robert Old, we offer a range of care products specifically designed to keep your Crockett & Jones and Santoni shoes in pristine condition for years to come.
