Adding rubbers

March 26, 2009 | Nathan Brown

Several of our clients have mentioned that they prefer having a rubber sole on their shoes.  Considering London's weather, it's a rather sensible option. 

At the moment all of our Ready to Wear shoes have a full leather sole.  We wanted to keep our first collection tight and I believe a classic leather sole is the most elegant for a pair of shoes. 

Now we can please everyone.  We have been working on a 3/4 rubber sole that keeps the beautiful leather edge and will perform in the rain.  And it's finally ready. 

Our first customer delivery is shown below.  We can add this to any of our existing RTW styles, so please  contact Clement at the shop if you have an interest.

That looks sharp, and certainly sensible. Is it a cover or add-on for leather soles? Or a replacement for them?
