About Jeffery-West: Mark Jeffery and Guy West founded Jeffery-West in Northampton in 1987, and the brand has been turning out characterful men’s shoes and boots with a bit of swagger ever since. Their Goodyear-welted range is made in England; many other styles use Blake stitching or cemented soles from European factories. Expect Italian leathers, bold broguing and the signature red lining throughout.
Jeffery-West men’s shoes and boots are sized in UK sizes and generally come up true to size, though the fit varies a little from last to last. The pointed and chisel-toe styles have extra length beyond the toes, so stick with your usual size rather than sizing down. We stock from UK 6 (EU 39) to UK 12 (EU 47).
A derby-style shoe with open lacing, where the eyelet tabs sit on top of the vamp. Jeffery-West Gibson models such as the Moon and Renfield use this construction, which gives a little more adjustment than a closed-lace Oxford.
A traditional construction stitching the upper, insole and outsole via a welt, allowing the sole to be resoled over time.
A distinctive, shaped heel block seen on several Jeffery-West styles, part of the brand’s signature look.
Most styles are true to UK size on a medium foot, but fit varies quite a bit by last. We always check the product page for fit advice before ordering, especially on pointed toe shapes or the more generous Dexter and Lynott lasts.
It depends on the last. Generous lasts such as Dexter and Lynott often suit a half size down, while some pointed styles like the Filmstar can feel half a size small. If you are between sizes, we would always try them on in the shop if you can.
Many Jeffery-West lasts are quite sculpted and suit a medium to narrower foot. Open-lacing Gibson styles give a bit more adjustment than a plain Oxford, but if you have a wide foot or high instep we would try them on before buying.
Yes, on leather-soled styles. A few short wears around the house before a full day out lets the sole flex and the upper settle. Rubber-soled or Blake-stitched casual styles often feel comfortable sooner.
The Goodyear-welted collection is made in Northamptonshire and can be resoled over time. Blake-stitched and cemented styles from their Italian and Spanish lines tend to be sleeker and lighter, though sizing can differ from the English-made range.
We use a good cream polish on the uppers and a horsehair brush to keep the leather supple. With leather soles, avoid soaking them and let them dry naturally between wears, ideally with shoe trees in.
