You Can Certainly Walk the Walk
High-end Leather & Stitching
Nothing but the best Colombian full grain and top grain leathers that have been carefully selected by us. Each hide painstakingly sculpted and hand cut to produce full leather uppers, internal linings, and lined insoles which enhances breathability and comfort.
24/7 Comfort & Support (Orthotic Insole)
Created by a podiatrist with professional athletes in mind in order to prevent foot and back fatigue on their days off. Specifically designed to provide shock absorption in both the heel and forefoot pads when recovering between competitions. Made out of breathable, ultra-soft, flexible Polyurethane Foam for unprecedented all-day comfort. Plus, each insole is enhanced with antimicrobial properties to keep your feet feeling and smelling fresh.
Eco-Conscious Leather & Soles
Our certified leather tanners incorporate on-site water treatment plants that recycle, purify, and reuse the water needed for the curing and tanning process. We also use recyclable plastics in our soles, water-based adhesives, and recycled materials in our packaging. Learn more about our green initiatives under Who We Are.
Two Sets of Laces (Different Colors)
Standard with each pair and giving you the option to change it up at your leisure (additional colored laces are available for purchase as add-ons).
Slip Resistant
Lightweight anti-slip tread combines with a really freakin' cool outsole (making these shoes perfect for daily commutes, traveling plans, & almost any terrain, weather, & occasion).
Lightweight
Light on your feet and light in your bag, each pair of John Candors weigh less than 2 pounds (907 grams) making them extremely versatile from work to social outings, and everything in between.
