Looking for Barker? You're in the right place, even if they aren't on our shelves just now.
Barker has been part of the Pediwear story for years, and plenty of our customers have a pair or two in the cupboard. We hope to stock Barker again from July 2027. Until then, here are the styles people ask us about most, and what we'd point you to today if you walked in looking for one.
The styles customers ask for
McClean
A wingtip brogue Oxford with a bit of personality, often in two tones of calf and suede. Goodyear-welted in Northamptonshire on a leather sole. It's the shoe for someone who wears a suit but doesn't want to look like everyone else in the room.
Today we'd suggest: the Carlos Santos 7273 Oxford Brogue, hand-coloured to order in the shade you choose, so nobody else will be wearing the same pair.
Duxford
The plain toe-cap Oxford: the one shoe every man should own, for interviews, funerals, weddings and Monday mornings. Calf leather, leather sole, Goodyear welted.
Today we'd suggest: Carmina Gabriel 732, a beautifully made Spanish toe-cap Oxford, or browse our Oxfords.
Johnny
A classic brogue Oxford in dark brown or black calf. Smart enough for a suit, relaxed enough with chinos and a jacket on a Friday.
Today we'd suggest: our brogues, from Northampton to São João da Madeira.
Nairn and Skye
Country Derbies on chunky Dainite rubber soles, made for wet pavements and muddy lanes as much as the office. Skye is the cleaner, plain version; Nairn has a storm welt to keep the weather out.
Today we'd suggest: the Carlos Santos 7201 Plain Derby for town, or our Derbies for something sturdier.
Calder
A proper country brogue boot with a storm welt and a Dainite sole. Worn with cords, jeans or tweed, it gets better with every winter.
Today we'd suggest: the Carlos Santos 8922 Brogue Derby Boot, or our boots.
George
A contemporary brogue Derby in black calf, more fashion-forward than the classics. Good with slim tailoring or dark denim.
Today we'd suggest: our brogues and Derbies.
Sam and Seb sneakers
Smart leather and suede sneakers for weekends and dress-down days.
Today we'd suggest: our sneakers, including made-to-order Carlos Santos styles.
