GUIDE

OWNING SOMETHING EXCEPTIONAL CARRIES RESPONSIBILITY.

THE 1812 GUIDE IS THE REFERENCE FOR EVERYTHING YOU OWN. FIT. SIZE. MATERIALS. CARE. REPAIR. ONE PLACE FOR EVERY DETAIL THAT KEEPS A PAIR ALIVE.

1812 MAKES LUXURY SNEAKERS BY HAND IN ENGLAND, IN NORTHAMPTON, THE OLD CAPITAL OF THE TRADE.

EVERY PAIR IS BUILT ON A LAST MADE BY SPRINGLINE TO SATRA SPECIFICATIONS. THE LAST IS THE SHAPE BENEATH THE SNEAKER. IT DECIDES THE FIT.

THE SOLE IS RUBBER. BUILT TO BE WORN, AND BUILT TO BE REPAIRED.

THREE SILHOUETTES. MIDAS, THE BELLOWS SNEAKER. ULYSSES, THE SNEAKER BOOT. ICARUS, THE SLIP ON SNEAKER. EACH SHARES ONE LAST AND ONE LOGIC OF FIT.

1812 SNEAKERS RUN TRUE TO SIZE. TAKE YOUR USUAL UK SIZE. THE SIZE GUIDE CONVERTS UK, EU AND US, AND READS WIDTH AT THE WIDEST POINT OF THE FOOT.

UPPERS ARE LEATHER. BOX CALF. SUEDE. NUBUCK. EACH MOVES AND MARKS WITH WEAR. THE MATERIAL GUIDE READS EACH BY NAME.

CARE IS SIMPLE, AND IT IS NOT OPTIONAL. SAPHIR MÉDAILLE D'OR FOR LEATHER. A BRUSH FOR SUEDE AND NUBUCK. REST BETWEEN WEARS. HOLD THE SHAPE WITH TREES.

WHEN THE SOLE WEARS, RESOLE. A PAIR RETURNS. IT DOES NOT RETIRE.

BUY WELL. UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU OWN. WEAR FOR LIFE.
