----- Brand Information -----
Pediwear have been retailing shoes for nearly 40 years. It remains a family business and is now in the hands of a second generation. Goodyear welted men's footwear has been a part of our business since the early days - we have developed a wealth of experience in this time.

We have visited the factories of Barker, Trickers, Crockett and Jones, Alfred Sargent, Carmina, Grenson, Sanders, NPS – some of them on several occasions. This gives us a unique insight into the manufacture and design of some of the finest shoes available. We bring this experience into use when discussing and assisting our customers with their purchases.

In addition to offering the in-stock lines of our brands we also regularly obtain Made To Order exclusive styles. This Autumn we are expecting very special shoes from Trickers, Carmina, Barker, Sanders, NPS and Loake.

A more recent addition to our line up is our very own Edward & James brand. We have used our knowledge and experience within the industry to choose the finest manufacturers and materials available. We now have a diverse range of footwear using cordovan and fine calf leathers in four different ranges.

On our website, we offer customer service via live chat, email in addition to telephone contact. Our brand manager's knowledge of lasts and fittings is excellent – as is their enthusiasm for the shoes they handle – I am sure you will find they improve your buying experience. We will also provide the same level of service here – aiming to answer all posts promptly.

Great to have you. Welcome.

 

[eagle2250]

It is good to have you participating in our conversations. I am looking forward to the discussions that will become the substance of this thread.

Also, as an aside, I'm still greatly enjoying the Crockett and Jones Conniston Boots that you sold me so many years ago. They are feeling fine on the foot and enduring admirably!

 

[RogerP]

That's an impressive line up of brands. Welcome!

 

[SG_67]

Welcome! I’ve often perused the site and your participation here further peaks my interest.

Hi Everyone

Many thanks for the warm welcomes. Of course, as many of you will know, we have collaborated with Ask Andy for many years now - and we are excited about the 'Official Thread' development.

Just a quick note regarding the photographs in the introductory post - there was a little confusion on a Facebook discussion regarding the origin of these styles - they are all our Edward and James own brand. These three styles are all made by Cheaney. They are the Parkside (Adelaide brogue), Cley (toe cap grain boot) and Blakeney (brogue brown grain boot). The Parkside is certainly my favourite from our Edward and James selection. In addition to being a stunning Adelaide brogue in Cheaney's gorgeous 'dark leaf' calf leather, it features specifications from the Cheaney Imperial range including the pinched waist, channelled and two-tone soles.

I will keep the thread updated with news on our offerings for this season.

In the meantime fans of Cordovan might be interested in the blog article I posted today: "Last Chance to Wear English Cordovan?"

I am looking forward to placing my first (and hopefully not last) order with you in the relatively near future. Love the site. Just recently picked up my first two pairs of C&Js at their NYC location. Now that I know my proper sizes in their shoes and boots, I think I will work on rounding out the collection a bit more through you.

 

[Pediwear]

Hi Adstra

Have you been to see the film yet? We were thinking of going today?

Once you have a good of your sizing it certainly makes online ordering easier. David (our C&J brand manager) has been answering queries on Crockett lasts for longer than he might care to admit - and it certainly makes advising easier if you own a couple of pairs.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Mike

We have just sent out an email to our list subscribers which has an Edward & James offer code - please see the web version of the email or my approximation below (and feel free to subscribe via the website if you haven't already).

Edward & James

Made in collaboration with Carlos Santos we are offering four new boots this season. A toe cap boot in an exquisitely burnished tan on a Dainite sole - and it’s brogue counterpart on a ridgeway style rubber sole.

The Louis is a brogue brown grain Chelsea boot with an extended gusset which makes putting them on a little easier and gives them a stylish point of difference. Last but most certainly not least we have a brown waxed suede version of our Holcott - which we have deemed worthy of its own name: the Loman.

 

[AdAstra]

Hi Adstra

Have you been to see the film yet? We were thinking of going today?

Thank you, and I actually was not aware it was a film until your comment prompted some Googling. I may have to check it out.

In the end we streamed Rocketman at home instead of going to see Ad Astsra. A different kind of 'Rocketman' from Brad Pitt in Ad Astra, but very enjoyable.

 

[Pediwear]

I am personally very pleased with these two new additions to our Edward and James Prinicipal Range.

https://www.pediwear.co.uk/edwardandjames/principal/

The Alex (below) has been made on our own last and developed via a manufacturer whom we have a long term relationship (John Spencer). We tested them in-house on the third general of the family to be involved in the business. They fit well, and we think the resulting shoe is stunning.

The Leadon (below) was developed and made with Barker shoes - and again we are delighted with the result. A slightly more rounded last than the Alex, in the traditional toe cap Oxford pattern - the subtle small punching lifts the appearance of the shoe so whilst it is still very much a formal shoe, it avoids being too plain.

I hope you guys will find the following extract from a recent newsletter of interest.

Pediwear Trickers
This season's Tricker's styles from Pediwear are a tale of two types of leather: deerskin and museum calf. For those with a taste for the depth and marble effect of museum calf we have a delightful burgundy Chelsea boot, a split toe styled Derby and a double monk shoe.

Deerskin
Following the success of the suede Polo chukka boot we are now offering an exclusive combination of soft dark brown deerskin in this popular chukka style (last W2298).

Bowood in Deerskin
The Bowood style will be known to many Tricker's fans - and here we have it in dark brown deerskin and fully lined by soft, bare sheepskin.




as ever, any questions David or myself are happy to answer.

Regards

Mike

I can only imagine the comforting hand of the deerskin designs. The variegated shading of the museum calf designs is indeed a visual head snapper! What's not to like?

The deerskin leather is something Tricker's have specialized in a little. They had exclusive access to the leather when it first became available a few seasons ago and made it available for MTO for retailers such as ourselves. Many other manufacturers are now producing deerskin styles but we are still having the most success with our Tricker's styles.

Whilst Tricker's were not the first to use museum calf, they have certainly sourced sumptuous examples of the type. We like too!

Please see the full Terms and Conditions and do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions. I am trying my best to man our website live chat this morning whilst the guys in the office keep up with your emails.

 

[Pediwear]

Thank you to all those who bought during our Black Friday event.

We are now looking forward to Christmas and will highlight some of our Autumn deliveries - hopefully inspiration for gifts or purchases as winter draws in! These two styles above differ only in the colour and the topline decoration of the Johnson. Both feature waxy finish and genuine Dainite soles - making them more suitable for wintery weather. The two styles were made for us by Berwick with whom we have made a good number of successful styles for our Edward & James label.

 

[Pediwear]
