The Oliver Sweeney Shoe Bible

Walk effortlessly into the new season with Oliver Sweeney’s capsule collection of must-have styles. From luxe leather loafers to suede desert boots, there’s not a situation on the planet that a pair of Sweeney shoes isn’t prepared for…

The Low Top Trainer

Having been on the scene since the early 1800’s, our love affair with the trainer is deep-rooted in its uncanny ability to evolve with the times. Today’s sneaker of choice is monochrome, structured and crafted in the finest black leather. The smarter aesthetic of the low top Borutta makes it an inspired choice for a low maintenance work look.

The Desert Boot

After spotting English soldiers on Egyptian soil in WWII wearing locally made suede boots with crepe rubber soles, British shoemaker Nathan Clark set about designing the very first desert boot. Having stood the test of time, the desert boot remains to this day a fail safe go-to for smart casual style. Team with a khaki bomber, straight denim and a slim fit white tee.

The Tan Brogue

Traditionally considered to be country footwear not otherwise appropriate for casual or business occasions, the brogue has evolved greatly from its humble green belt origins. The understated punching on the Paderne Derby makes it the perfectly balanced all rounder – whether paired with a slim grey suit or your favourite indigo denim. 

The Oliver Sweeney Penny Loafer

In the 1930s there was an article in Esquire Magazine that included photos of dairy farmers from Norway wearing a very distinct type of slip-on shoe.  This style would later be christened the Penny Loafer, as the distinctive strap enabled a coin to be kept safe for a phone call at the end of the night.  Make an investment purchase you’ll never forget with these black, polished leather, forever shoes.
