High-top sneakers in genuine leather and suede. Handmade, with our own lasts for every model.
High-top leather sneakers cover the ankle, hold the foot more securely and keep out wind and splashes, so you can wear them from early spring to late autumn, and the insulated versions in winter too. This page brings together our high-tops for women and men, each made by hand at our family-owned factory, where we have made shoes since 1997. Below: how the lining options work, how a high shaft should fit, and how to wear and care for a pair.
Many high-tops are made with a choice of lining, which you select on the product page when you order. The options depend on the line:
Two lines have a fixed lining. Eclipse-64 is warm from the start, with natural fur inside, while the Velour high-tops in genuine nubuck always come with Respira.
| Model | For | Upper | Lining options | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alen-12-X | Men | Leather and nubuck | Respira or Winterfrost 500 | Anatomical last for wide feet |
| LEGION-18 | Men | Leather and nubuck | Respira or Winterfrost 500 | Suitable for wide feet |
| Space-24-X | Men | Leather and nubuck | Respira or fur, same price | Suitable for wide feet |
| Eclipse-14 | Men | Genuine leather | Respira or fur, same price | Rubber-coated toe |
| Space-74-X | Women | Nubuck and smooth leather | Respira or natural fur | Anatomical full-size last |
| Eclipse-64 | Women | Nubuck, smooth leather inserts | Natural fur | Rubber coating on toe and heel |
A high shaft wraps the ankle, so the height of your instep matters as much as foot length. Each model is made on its own anatomical last, which means your size can differ between lines.
Measuring steps and UK and US conversions are in our size guide.
Yes, if the pair is built for it. Choose a fur or Winterfrost 500 lining, or a model that is warm by design, such as Eclipse-64. A rubber coating on the toe, as on Eclipse and Breakout, protects the leather from scuffs and slush. Women will find more warm pairs in fur-lined winter sneakers, and our guide to wearing sneakers in winter covers the rest.
High-tops look best with straight-leg jeans, cuffed chinos or wide trousers that sit on the shaft rather than hiding it. Clean nubuck with a dry brush and refresh the protective spray before wet weather. Wipe smooth leather with a damp cloth and add cream from time to time. Dry fur-lined pairs at room temperature, away from radiators.
This page shows both. To browse one side only, open women's high-top sneakers or men's high-top sneakers.
