The Description
Handmade in Northamptonshire on our Tower last, Torrington is a traditional wing-capped Oxford brogue shoe. Delivering a well-proportioned fit, this Oxford brogue features a distinctive, almond-shaped toe and a highly-sculpted fiddle-back waist for a more refined and elegant shape with increased arch-support.
Heels are built using veg-tanned leather and premium leather linings provide maximum absorption and optimum foot comfort. The finished shoes are hand-burnished and finger-polished for a deep, rich shine while fully-stitched Goodyear welted leather soles are intricately hand-decorated and reveal a painted two-tone stain.
Torrington is available in Onyx Black, Antique Blue and Antique Brown calf leathers.
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
Tower
Our Export Grade last has a distinctive and refined almond-shaped toe, with good space across the joint before tapering through to a highly sculpted fiddle-back waist This provides further arch support whilst feeling lighter and more comfortable to wear.
