Shoe of the Day - Sanders & Sanders Dylan, Blue

The Dylan by Sanders & Sanders is a creative and impressive take on the double monk strap that is so bang on trend. Effortlessly cool and inventive, the Dylan combines excellent British design and craftsmanship to create something really quite special. The navy on the Dylan is a fine, dark and rich shade and sits perfectly well with the texture of the suede. A red sole adds some good contrast and the buckles are well spaced and sized. A great pick for Spring and Summer and would do well with some good chinos on a warm Spring evening in the pub garden. Visionary. Available at sanders-uk.com and priced at £225.

Shoe of the Day - Grenson's Archie, Blue

A superb Grenson shoe was our very first 'Shoe of the Day' and it would be easily justifiable to for us to write only about Grenson's sublime British footwear. The 'Archie' in blue is of course, tremendous. You will see similar designs on the high street, you may notice blue shoes this Spring but none will be comparable to 'Archie'. The cut and design is everything you'd expect from Grenson, stylish and smart, comfortable and contemporary. Above all however, is the quality and craftsmanship you are assured with Grenson. Available at grenson.co.uk and priced at £235.
