These shoes are designed in collaboration with Yohei Fukuda, one of the greatest bespoke shoemakers in the world, and are made in Northampton, England where Fukuda once trained. With a low-slung silhouette and sweeping lines, we gave our shoe last a soft, almond toe while widening the ball of the foot to ensure comfort.
The Duane S is our unlined loafer, built for comfort. The shoe is constructed without a heel counter, and only features a small toe-puff to ensure the front of the shoe does not collapse. The sole is half rubber and half slim leather, with a cemented construction, which makes the shoes immediately more comfortable and allows for a faster break in process.
Our Jiro 次郎 means second son as it is the second last we’ve designed with Yohei Fukuda. The last has a soft almond toe, fits slightly tighter in the heel, and adds more space in the toe box and forefoot. The last is also very suited to people who have fallen arches.
The Armoury shoes come in UK sizes. To convert US to UK sizing, please subtract 1 size from your normal US size for the right fit. We do not recommend sizing down half a size for this loafer.
