The Description

Our ‘Reading’ is a premium boot, featuring Goodyear welted rubber soles for greater longevity and grip. Reading uses the ‘claridge’ last shape for a generous fit and bold toe shape, and is available in a ‘f’ fitting. Reading is handmade in England at our Northamptonshire factory.

We recommend using a shoehorn to help maintain the shape, prevent creasing of the heel, and allow the foot to glide in with ease – keeping your shoes looking their best and feeling comfortable from the first wear.

Please note, these shoes come with a complementary pair of protective cloth bags.

The Last

Claridge

Another versatile last shape, Claridge is used for both classic English styles and more contemporary shoes. Claridge is a medium width last which should run true to size. There is a little extra (cosmetic only) length in the toe of this last, which has a slightly rounded point.
