Sanders Shoes

link? pictures?

I like their Casual line. I have a pair of their buck chukkas. I can't speak about relative quality, etc.

I picked up a pair of their tan buck/red sole loafers last year on a deep closeout. Goodyear welted, very comfortable, and have held up well. They seem to have a pretty good range of G fittings.

Suede is one thing and my guess is that when it comes to calf they are probably considered on the lower end of Northampton mfrs due to comparable price points. I think they do a lot of private labeling (McNairy's stuff is all through them), which is the only way I have seen them in the US.

Sorry to reply in such an old thread but I wondered if anyone knows how Sanders boots with an F width fitting fit? Are they on a short last like the Loake 026 last or are they a bit longer?

I wear the same size (8.5) in Loake 026 F last and Sanders 4831 (Dirty bucks, and Olly brogue) I don't know the last used for the boots (M265 ?)

026 is a bit longer, however the last shape is very different, I found Sanders much more confortable.

Thank you for the picture and information. I'm surprised the last is even shorter than Loake's 026 since that already is a very short last in my opinion.

Let me bump this thread. Any opinions on the quality of Sanders bucks? Can't find alternatives in the UK unless I order MTO Trickers, which seems slightly overkill for some supposedly cheap and cheerful casual shoes. Cheers.

They are very well made and lightweight but Eva sole isn't so durable.

I suggest you to search the Mcnairy version that is built on a rounded last, Sanders Jack are on Stet last and honestly isn't the best last for Bucks.

I've owned a pair of Sanders wholecuts for a little while. They are extremely comfortable, and their Diplomat line is very well put together. The Goodyear welted sole means that they make a very good investment for the future.

 

My wholecuts are up for sale currently: http://www.styleforum.net/t/343333/for-sale-sanders-paris-oxford-wholecut-style-shoes-size-9f-last-ken-black-195
