Canons Trunk Show
Houston Trunk Show
We will next be in Houston on the 15th & 16th October 2026 for our Fall Trunk Show. We visit three times a year and will be staying at the Four Seasons Hotel.
Your appointment will be with our last-maker Simon Bolzoni, and is an individual 1 hour consultation hosted in the privacy of his suite. During this time, we will comprehensively measure and make annotations of your feet, discuss your individual requirements and any particular issues that need to be addressed in your new footwear. You will have the opportunity to view a significant number of selected samples from our historic archive, and be guided through our extensive collection of leather options, including our unique hand-coloured calfskins. All appointments must be booked in advance, and are limited in availability.

1300 Lamar Street, Houston, Texas 77010
Amid downtown Houston, the Four Seasons Hotel has a modern sophistication, combined with the famous Texan hospitality that we love. Its light-filled suites are always refreshing when travelling, and ideal for showcasing our archival samples.

Simon Bolzoni
Lastmaker & Managing Director of Canons
Simon began his training in last-making in 2006 under Terry Moore, London’s pre-eminent bespoke lastmaker. Building upon this traditional foundation, he has continued to develop Canons’ own methods of individual last-making and pattern cutting. His approach combines an understanding of each client’s fitting requirements with careful consideration of the proportions and character of each shoe.
