Story
A suede Gibson boot centuries in the making
Since their inception in 1873, five generations of Sanders have dedicated their lives to the craft of high-quality shoemaking—enough to make them more than an authority on everything related to fine footwear. The Fraser Kenia Waxy Suede Gibson is an everyday, versatile shoe that still has its classic pedigree to rely on. A classic Gibson look, waxy suede, and Goodyear welting, but with a modern Vibram V-lite sole for added grip and strength.

About Sanders
Honestly, it’s a mystery how Sanders has been able to keep such a low profile here in the USA. Just skim their history since 1873 and you’ll see what we’re saying: they were favored by the English army in WWI, worn by James Bond in 2015’s Spectre, and are widely known across the UK for their quality, heritage construction. Maybe they’ve just spent the majority of their effort on shoemaking, rather than promotion? Whatever the case, having their footwear in our collection makes us feel like we’ve ascended to a higher plane of connoisseurship. A hundred and fifty years later, it’s about time Sanders gets the recognition they deserve.
