Details don’t only matter, they’re everything.

Water-Repellent Suede

This alluring, durable water-repellent suede holds up incredibly well all year round. The downy surface looks beautiful and will age gracefully the more you wear it, and it’s surprisingly easy to maintain with the right brushes and shoe care products.

Vachetta Leather Lining

A wholecut piece of soft Vachetta leather lines the interior of your shoes to smooth over any joints or seams. Its natural temperature regulating, moisture absorbing, odor controlling and breathability properties will also keep your feet fresh and comfortable.

Waxed Thread

Strong, flexible and resistant to wear and tear, waxed thread weaves easily through leather and acts as a sealant against moisture, mildew and dirt. It keeps your items intact and won’t unravel due to the lock stitching method we use.

Rubber Sole

The natural rubber used for the soles of our sneakers is vulcanized and blended with other materials, such as recycled rubber, to improve resilience, strength, flexibility and water resistance. Count on them for stability, excellent traction, support and buoyancy.

Waxed Cotton Laces

Perfect for active people, waxed cotton laces effortlessly glide through the eyelets, providing secure ties that endure. Say goodbye to fraying and unraveling and enjoy worry-free strides during your adventures and everyday wear.

Handcrafted with integrity

Great value shouldn't come at the expense of human dignity. For us, it's equally important to provide an excellent experience to you and to our craftspeople.

FAQs

  • What is your manufacturing process? 

    It takes at least 150 manual steps to make a pair of Beckett Simonon sneakers. Our highly skilled and dedicated artisans either execute the step by hand (as in the cutting of leather and application of the soles) or with the help of a hand-operated machine. The entire process takes between 6 to 8 weeks to complete since we don't cut corners and pay extra attention to every detail in order to guarantee the longevity of our products and your continued satisfaction.

  • What size should I order?

    We have taken care to create sneakers that are available in a range of sizes, and fit true to size.

    If you already have similar sneakers that fit you comfortably, refer to that size.

    Remember that one foot is usually slightly larger than the other, and we recommend that you order the size of your larger foot to ensure comfort.

    If you have a wide foot, going up a half size should work for you (for example if you are a size 9, order 9.5 with us).

    If you have a slender foot, going down a half size should work for you (for example if you are a size 9, order 8.5 with us). If you need assistance, please refer to our size chart, or contact Customer Service for a personalized recommendation.

  • HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR BECKETT SIMONON SNEAKERS TO BREAK-IN?

    Generally, your sneakers should be comfortable straight out of the box and require little or no break-in period. However, it’s a personal experience which depends on your foot shape, making sure you have the correct size, the types of socks you wear and the way you walk. If you find the sneakers too stiff at first, don’t worry - they’ll soften and conform to the shape of your feet over time. If you experience any discomfort, we recommend you wear your sneakers indoors before wearing them for a long period outside. If it persists, please contact Customer Service.
