Lining

The Lining is the material used on the inside of the shoes which rests against the foot during wear.

Full Leather lining
This is regarded as the best finish to have, the complete interior of the shoe is lined with leather which gives comfort & absorbs the moisture given off from the foot during wear.

1/2 Leather lining
The fore part of the shoe has a cotton or linen lining & from the waist of the shoe back to the heel is leather.

Soles and Heels

Goodyear welted leather sole
This is what Northampton manufactures are traditionally known for. The sole is stitched to a welt which means the shoe gives great comfort & excellent shape retention.
Welted Rubber soles
This is similar to the “Goodyear welted Leather sole” construction except the sole material is Rubber giving harder wear & better water resistant properties.
Leather Sole Rubber Fore Part
This gives all the benefits of a leather sole but the added flexibility & durability of a rubber fore part.
Cemented Leather Sole
A construction using specialised adhesives in place of stitched welts to bond the upper to the sole. This gives lightness in weight & appearance that the welted construction cannot.
Moccasin Construction
This provides a very light flexible & comfortable shoe. A bag of Leather is formed by Hand stitching an apron & the sole is then stitched or glued to the upper.

Last WILD4 help

Last

The LAST is the foot shape that the shoe uppers are pulled over & secured on during manufacturing to obtain the shape. The lasts are given numbers or names to denote their individual characteristics such as toe shape & depth etc. Traditional Lasts are made from wood but now more commonly plastic ones are used these days.

Weight A pair of these shoes in size 8 weighs 880g

An elegant chunky loafer is possible. Model 55 takes the heritage design of the Wildsmith loafer and gives it a modern update with a lightweight sole that looks heavy but is incredibly light for all-day comfort. The signature diamond adorns the collar and the back of the shoe while the front is left simple with the apron front and a crisply cut diamond on the penny strap.

The Wildsmith brand has been around since 1847 and this heritage is a strong influence to the modern interpretations we are proud to be stocking.

The WILD4 last is a generous fitting last, we recommend purchasing half a size smaller than what you normally wear.

Size chart

Shoes that are made to fit the same size foot will vary in physical size due to differences in last (shoe) shapes. For this reason we cannot measure shoes to fit your feet.

This is a size guide based on our experiences working with customers from all over the world. Although we are confident of it's accuracy, there can be anomalies and for this reason we cannot guarantee the conversion will always be correct.

Please note that F is the normal width fitting. if you do not usually buy wider fitting shoes and you don’t struggle buying off the shelf shoes that fit you, please order F fitting. If you do have wider feet and find you often need to size up to get the width right, then G would be more suitable as they are 3-5mm wider without the added length.
