hen it comes to footwear, the Australian male seems to have a bit of a hard time. It’s often slim pickings for men, when it comes to dressing one’s feet in local style. Often overwhelmed, the misfortune can lead to a number of brazen mishaps, seasonal confusion and of course, that age old retreat to canvas.

The gentleman’s sojourn toward the golden shoe is certainly a harrowing tale, and one understood all too well by Melbourne-based men’s footwear label harry&henry. Thanks to these guys, Melbourne lasses need not cringe with every gaze toward their man’s side of the pavement. harry&henry are making shoes for the refined gent, straightening those wayward shoe dilemmas and encouraging good, solid grounding.

Fashioned from the eternal overdressed/underdressed dilemma, they’ve created the ideal hybrid; shoes with a modern aesthetic to carry you from day to evening, casual to formal, with little fuss. The shoes are simple and charming, always stylish and most importantly, they’re trans-seasonal so you gents need not recoil back Vans and Havaiannas (please).

Each pair of harry&henry shoes are handmade and produced in limited quantities using high quality leather. With collections for summer and winter, encompassing everything the boat shoe to brogues, harry&henry are quick on their feet to every occasion.
