SOLE GUIDE

From the traditional, fine, hand-crafted leather sole to the studded rubber sole, Crockett & Jones has a sole for almost every occasion. The English shoe brand uses the Goodyear method to provide greater comfort, durability and ease of sole repair if necessary.

HAND GRADE LEATHER SOLE

These soles, created exclusively for the shoes in the Hand Grade collection, are made using a slow tanning process that improves the leather's fibres and flexibility. A group of specialised craftsmen then stitches them in hidden channels, dyes them by hand and finally polishes them for a perfect, long-lasting finish.

LEATHER SOLE

Made from the finest leathers, our leather soles are tanned by skilled craftsmen to strengthen the leather and achieve greater durability. These soles are sewn into a groove visible from the bottom of the shoe and then individually trimmed to the last. Once trimmed, they are hand-dyed and polished with wax.

CITY SOLE

This original Crockett & Jones design has been manufactured by Harboro Rubber Company in the UK. Designed as a lightweight and smart rubber sole, the City Sole is made from 90% rubber and is ideal for smart slip-on shoes that you can wear for both dressy and everyday wear. Available in black, dark brown and chocolate brown.

DAINITE SOLE

This famous sole was manufactured by Harboro Rubber Company in the early 20th century in the UK. Now reproduced by manufacturers around the world, the studded pattern has become one of the most popular and recognisable. Our C&J brand version is made with a high percentage of rubber for improved comfort and durability. Available in black and dark brown.
