About the Brand
Honestly, it’s a mystery how Sanders has kept such a low profile here in the USA. Just skim their history since 1873 and you’ll understand: they were 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 making boots, rather than promotion? Whatever the case, having their products in our collection makes us feel like we’ve ascended to a higher plane of footwear connoisseurship. With an impressively comfortable sole, buttery leather lining, and sharp-as-hell looks—we only wish we’d met them sooner. And 150 years later, it’s about time Sanders gets the recognition they deserve.
