- Developed as part of the Imperial range and extended to include the newer collections, this last offers a narrower, more bespoke feel.
- Crafted beautifully under the arch and slimmed through the waist with a swan’s neck sculpturing over the instep, this is a last for the most refined of gentlemen. The 208 has a sleek, fitted feel but isn’t restrictive and features a slightly pointed toe for added elegance.
- Narrower shaped last but true to size
The Art of Shoemaking
Joseph Cheaney & Sons pride theirselves on preserving the tradition of British shoemaking by handcrafting our footwear collections. They are a highly skilled team dedicated to making premium leather shoes by hand whilst producing the finest footwear in our distinctive, refined style. Creating Cheaney shoes takes approximately eight weeks and 200 hands or hand-tooled operations. Discover the step-by-step process here to learn more about how their shoes are made.
Monk shoes are characterized by their lack of a lacing system and instead, are closed by a buckle and strap. Popularized in the mid-2000’s and fast-becoming the preferred style of footwear amongst the fashion-forward, the monk shoe is widely accepted as less formal than an Oxford but more so than a Derby. With simple lines and contemporary style, the monk shoe traditionally features either a single or double strap fastening.
