THE SOLE

THE T-CAB RUBBER SOLE IS MOULDED TO THE 1812 LAST. EACH SIZE HAS ITS OWN MOULD. NOTHING IS STRETCHED OR SCALED BY EYE.

THE SOLE GROWS WITH THE LAST, SIZE BY SIZE. EVERY SIZE HOLDS THE SAME FIT.

DRAWN FROM THE RAW DRAMA OF THE NORTHERN COASTLINE, THE SOLE UNIT EMBODIES A MEETING OF FORCES WHERE DARK VOLCANIC ROCKS RESIST THE ENDLESS RHYTHM OF THE SEA. THE DESIGN IS INFORMED BY THIS DIALOGUE OF WEIGHT AND MOVEMENT, PERMANENCE AND FLUIDITY.

EACH LINE ACROSS THE SOLE MIRRORS THE PATH OF WATER AS IT COLLIDES WITH STONE, CARVING SHAPES THAT ARE AT ONCE SCULPTURAL AND DYNAMIC.

INSPIRATION BECOMES GEOMETRY, AND GEOMETRY BECOMES CRAFT. 1812 TURNS THE RESTLESS MOTION OF THE SEA INTO A FORM UNDERFOOT, A SOLE SHAPED BY ELEMENTAL POWER AND MADE PRECISE BY ENGLISH SHOEMAKING.

SUPPORT WHERE THE FOOT NEEDS IT. A FIRM HEEL. A FOREFOOT THAT BENDS WITH YOU.

HARD WEARING. EVERY PAIR CAN BE RESOLED. A PAIR THAT IS RESOLED IS A PAIR THAT IS KEPT.

THE WORN SOLE IS RETURNED FOR RECYCLING.

THE FIRST WEAR IS THE FIRMEST. LEATHER SOFTENS WITH WARMTH AND MOVEMENT AND SETTLES TO THE FOOT.

THE LEATHER INSOCK TAKES THE PRINT OF YOUR STEP.

GIVE THEM A FEW WEEKS. THE LENGTH STAYS. THE FEEL CHANGES.

CLEAN, FEED AND REST THE LEATHER. KEEP A CEDAR SHOE TREE IN EACH SNEAKER BETWEEN WEARS TO HOLD THE SHAPE OF THE LAST.

SIZE GUIDE. SNEAKER CARE.
