Description

Want to feel like you’re walking on clouds, while still being able to feel the ground? We combine sneaker-like comfort through our handpicked full-grain leather (inside and out), orthotic leather lined insoles, slip resistant flexible outsoles and keeping it lightweight, so that you will feel great about wearing these all day.

Our shoes are designed to fit snug and the leather will mold to your foot. For long term comfort your foot shouldn't swim around in your shoe. Many shoe brands sizes run large because a bit too large is better than too small. But our shoes are designed to mold to your foot and fit like a glove. Thick socks vs thin socks will make a difference in the fit. We don't carry wide sizes at this time. If you're normally a range with other shoes we recommend getting the larger size with ours. Please keep all of this in mind when selecting your size. 

Product Details

Our Classic Derby design is an incredibly versatile and soft leather shoe, masterfully handcrafted using premium full-grain leather, light and slip resistant soles and other hand-selected materials.

Each pair of John Candors has orthotic insoles and leather lined interiors for ultra comfort and breathability. The leather will mold to your foot over a few days and you'll often forget you're even wearing shoes. That's how light and comfortable they are!

Wear these shoes on any occasion with or without socks. Each pair of John Candors is designed to be supportive, breathable, light weight, and ultra-comfortable for all day walking, standing, sitting and the occasional run.

Size Guide

Available Sizes: US 8-15.

Designed to mold to your foot and fit like a glove

Fits true to size (Based on the brannock device).

If you're normally a range with other brands, we recommend selecting the larger size with ours.

Our dress sneaker design has a narrow toe box and we do not have wide sizes. If you usually buy wide we recommend trying 1/2 size up. Unfortunately if you're always an EE or larger ours won't fit.

Our shoes come with orthotic insoles which are thicker than regular flat insoles. If you wear thick socks we recommend going 1/2 size up.

If you don't see your size available please message us if you'd like us to hold one for you from our next order.
