Paul Sargent (formerly Alfred Sargent) Appreciation Thread

[RonnyK]

Hi folks- I’m rather new to English footwear While I own a handful of Trickers and C&Js at this point, I’m rather taken by Alfred Sargent’s boots. Could anyone share who stocks them? They’re not exactly the easiest to find if you can’t visit one of the boutiques. The usual suspects (AFPOS & Pediwear) appear to both have rather limited or no stock. Thanks in advance for your help.

There is a shop in Oslo, Norway, who have some AS in stock.

Alfred Sargent

In 1899, Alfred Sargent, together with his sons, set up his company, Alfred Sargent and Sons, in the town of Rushden Northamptonshire. England. Later, in 1915, they moved to the present site of Portland Road. Now, one of the running shoe factories, it was the first to have electricity.

Tredders have a few. Not a huge selection though.

I think Alfred Sargent have a new website but it’s work in progress.

Alfred Sargent definitely aren’t as well represented as Trickers or C&J which is a shame really.

I think there was a shop in Philly that was an authorized dealer. It's somewhere deep in this thread from about 4-6 months ago when AS did their product relaunch.

is there a complete AS retailer list?

Style by Blain? Voltaire was going to carry AS, but as of now lists only G&G, Alden and Paraboot on his instagram account.

I'd add AS's parent company Bowen to the list. Bowen has some nice stuff, but nothing from country line. Pediwear and shoehealer have a handful of AS left in stock.

Just arrived from UK, from Tredders.

Alfred Sargent Pytchley in 87 last. A plain toe derby that AS managed to make it slim and very "light" looking. One of the non obvious characertistics of AS was/is their capability of making a country shoe a non bulky beauty.

I hope AFPOS could start selling AS again, my 6 pairs of AS are bought from them (the exception these Pytchleys). Their service is impeccable and are very nice people to deal with.

Wearing my Moore's in burgundy (courtesy of AFPOS) today

They came to me with a beautiful shine, but for some reason the hue wasn't convincing me, so last week I stripped them from any polish with pure orange oil and a rag. This removed a lot of brown polish and left them in all the glory of their original colour. I used Saphir 'Hermes red' to further enhance their reddish cast and now am a happy man.
You might guess I like red shoes ...

I will soon have the pleasure to visit the factory and hopefully buy some gorgeous AS shoes. Do you have any suggestion for an AS newbie? Anything specific to look for?

I am not sure what to expect from the "shop", do they sell seconds? What are the lines available? I am interested in the exclusive line as it seems really well made and good value too.

In any case I will share thoughts and pictures after the visit!

I'm not sure what lines they have available but I have bought two shoes via email from AS (Paul helped me). Both from the Exclusive line and both seconds: Armfields in black and Radwells in hatchgrain.

I'm assuming there is the possibility of everything to be offered (including brands they OEM for) minus their Handgrade line since those are one off productions.

Sorry if I post again the same shoes; I just want to offer proof that burgundy shoes pair well with blue suits

how much were the Armfields?

how much were the Armfields?

I want to say around $350 plus whatever postage to the US cost in excess of shipping in the UK.

Tredders has some Alfred Sargent available on sale, cheers

I'm not buying right now but are very interested to know if they might sell from the factory. You must be shoe trade. I live nearby but didn't think they allowed customers in.
