We are pleased to have been included among Simon Crompton’s top recommendations in his Permanent Style article, “The (20) Bespoke Shoemakers I Have Known.”

Drawing on his personal experience commissioning bespoke shoes from 20 makers internationally, Crompton reflects on the craftsmanship, fit and overall experience offered by each.

Canons is included among his leading recommendations, with particular praise for the comfort and elegance of his bespoke Oxfords, alongside our approach to traditional shoemaking and its continued development.

Our thanks to Simon Crompton for his considered assessment and continued interest in our work.
