Line 02

Athletic footwear.

Running, training, court and lifestyle — developed here, and worn before we sell it.

The line

A running shoe fails long after you approved it.

Not in the sample review — in a customer's hands, months later. A midsole that has lost its spring, an outsole worn through at the heel, a sole that opened after a wet winter.

None of that shows in a photograph. So we flex, abrade and wear-test development pairs before we put a price on a production run.

Categories

Four kinds of shoe.

A runner mid-stride
Running

Neutral and stability, road and trail, on cushioned midsoles with outsole rubber we compound ourselves.

Training

Flatter, wider and reinforced through the sides for lateral work.

Court

Indoor and outdoor, with non-marking rubber and reinforcement where the sport needs it.

Lifestyle

Cupsole and vulcanised construction in leather, suede, canvas and knit.

Outsole

Compounded in our own workshop, so the wear is something we control.

Lasts and fit

Fit is where athletic footwear is won or lost.

Most complaints come down to the volume of the last rather than its length — a shoe that measures right and still feels wrong across the forefoot.

We will develop a last for your programme from a scan, a plaster or a shoe you are already happy with. It stays here, and it is used for nothing else.
