Tan Leather and Navy Suede 'Prestige Whitworth Brogue' Spectator Shoes from Samuel Windsor UK

Having been Asked to act as online Ambassador for Samuel Windsor UK, they requested that I choose the first pair of shoes that I would be interested in reviewing, I made a beeline for their
Prestige Whitworth Brogue spectator shoes.  I have been trying to add a number of pairs of shoes to my summer shoe collection this spring and these two-tone spectators will perfectly fill a hole in my collection.  These shoes are from Samuel Windsor UK's Prestige line, which consists of handmade, mostly Goodyear welted shoes (as are these).  These are handmade made for them in India.  So upon their arrival, the first wearing was a complete joy.  The fit of these shoes fit my UK size 10 feet perfectly.  These are not super lightweight shoes that one would expect from the very reasonably priced shoes.  They have a similar weight and substantial feel of many of my other Goodyear Welted brogues from such companies at Grenson and Gordon & Brothers.  The overall fit and finish are in keeping with shoes that cost 3-4 times that price that Samuel Windsor in Charging and offer an extraordinary comfort right out of the box, quickly earning them a place of prominence in my spring shoe rotation.  They feature a solid natural colored leather sole and leather stacked heal that I think really suited the overall look of the shoe, the heal and sole being caped by a sturdy non-slip rubber (this is my ideal layout for our somewhat rainy weather we get here in Bavaria).  One slight issue is that the heel cap, which is in blue rubber does mark my wooden parquet floors.  This is not a huge issue since I don't typically wear my street shoes in the house, but worth noting.

The Unboxing:

Lined in soft leather from the lacing to the heal and cloth lined in the forefoot, they offer great all-day comfort and breathability.  I can say that I wore them with very thin no-show socks for a full work day right out of the box with complete comfort.  The footbed has a nicely padded heel that feels almost tennis-shoe like.

Overall I can after several wears say that I am thoroughly impressed with and can happily recommend these shoes from Samuel Windsor and given their pricing, am certain these will not be my last pair from them.   I have posted them several times already on Instagram with different outfits and have received compliments on them each time.  The two-tone colorway is remarkably easy to match and I am really looking forward to wearing them through this spring and summer and many to come.
