The Gouldian Finch Is Our Bestseller and Honestly We Get It

Named after a bird that wears tan, olive, red and blue at the same time and somehow pulls it off. We tried the same thing on a shoe. It worked.

100+ pairs sold. We did not see it coming.

Gouldian Finch — our bestselling leather sneaker to date.

This was never supposed to be the main character. It was the fun one. The one we made because the colour blocking looked good on paper and we wanted to see it in leather. Then it kept selling out and we kept remaking it, and here we are.

Soft in a way that feels slightly unfair

Gouldian Finch — full-grain leather upper, cushioned wedge sole.

No breaking-in period. No blister era. No walking around your house in them for a week like you are training for something. The leather is soft from the first wear and then gets softer, because that is what real leather does.

The sole does the rest. Lightweight, cushioned, slightly wedged, so your feet still like you at 9pm after a full day of standing, walking, running for something you should have left earlier for.

The signature red patch

Gouldian Finch — the signature red heel patch.

Small detail. Entire personality. It sits on the heel so nobody sees it coming, and it is the thing people ask about. If you know, you know, and increasingly a lot of people know.

Very colourful. Weirdly goes with everything.

Tan, olive, cobalt, red, cream sole. On paper that is a lot. On foot it behaves like a neutral, because the tones are all warm and slightly dusty rather than loud. Which means:

•      Blue jeans — obviously

•      Black trousers — the olive keeps it from looking like an accident

•      Cargos and shorts — this is its natural habitat

•      Linen and neutrals — the red patch does the talking

It is the shoe you grab when you have not decided on an outfit yet, which is most days.

Should you get a pair

Look. Bestseller for a reason. 100% genuine leather, made in Kanpur by people who have been doing this for generations, and comfortable enough that you will forget you are wearing something this nice.

The Gouldian Finch is live now.

Real Leather. Real Yours.
