We are pleased to have been included in the Financial Times‘ recent feature, “The World’s Best Bespoke Shoemakers”, recognising a selection of leading bespoke shoemakers from around the world.

The article explores Canons’ history, dating back to 1840, and the continuation of our shoemaking traditions under the direction of master last-maker Simon Bolzoni.

Particular attention is given to our approach to last-making and fit, and the importance we place on achieving both elegance and comfort in a pair of bespoke shoes. The feature also touches upon our historical collection of lasts, our London workshop and our regular visits to clients throughout the United States.

We are grateful to the Financial Times for including Canons in this selection and for recognising the craftsmanship and principles that remain central to our work.
