the benefits of our shoes
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.
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.

Your feet are made to move, to bend, & to flex in its natural movement. Your shoe shouldn't impede that. Don't torture your feet with rigid footwear.

United StatesInstant favorites
I can't say enough about the John Candor Classics. These shoes put every other nice pair in my closet to shame. I literally get excited to put them on! So comfortable and so sleek. The best part is, I know they'll last for many years given the high quality leather and attention to detail in crafting them. I'm so grateful to have come across John Candor and plan to be longtime customer.
United StatesSuperior look, quality, and comfort
I am so glad I came across John Candor shoes! These shoes are made very well and built to last. They look awesome both with some dress slacks as well as with jeans. I've worn stiff leather shoes before, but never ones this comfortable...there was no "breaking in" period. I've gotten more than a few compliments already so definitely be prepared to be noticed when you wear your John Candor's. My last observation is that they size according to whatever other shoes you wear.
