What you are actually buying in the Broad

John White has been putting men in proper shoes since 1919. The Broad exists because comfort should not cost a man his formality.

Generous where it matters
The fit

Generous where it matters

The Broad is cut on a roomier last, so the forefoot sits without pressure and the toes are never argued with. If polished shoes have always felt a size too honest, this is the derby built for you. The silhouette stays formal; only the fit is generous.

Polished calf, capped toe, all-day comfort
The build

Polished calf, capped toe, all-day comfort

Polished calf leather with a clean capped toe and four-eyelet lacing, fully leather lined with a cushioned ribbon-edge insole and a suede-backed heel counter. The lightweight rubber sole grips and absorbs without the weight.

Every size from UK 6 to 13
The range

Every size from UK 6 to 13

A full, unbroken size run, finished with flat waxed laces. Order in the size you always wear: the room is built into the last, not borrowed from the next size up.
