Gaius Walks
The first men’s shoes on our list are Gaius Walks. Gaius, taken from the first name of Julius Caesar means ‘joy’ in Latin. The brand’s styles are heavily influenced by classic artisan Italian shoemakers and they take extra care while picking only open pore full grain calf leather for their shoes. This leather is much more durable and supple. It also absorbs leather creams more easily and the patina improves over time.
Gaius Walks follows a direct to customer business model ensuring that what one pays goes towards the craftsmanship of the master craftsman and the material, ranging from the leather patina, hand burnish, stitchings, laces etc.that is chosen for the shoe.
Each pair of Gaius Walks men’s shoes takes up to 50 hours to complete and is made in 7 carefully selected tones including unique colours like slate, indigo and sangria. The collection includes calf leather dress shoes, napa leather dress loafers, suede casual loafers and cowhide drivers. And to top it off, they offer free shipping for Singapore and Malaysia.
