What Makes SHARMAN Stand Out?

THE FOUR KEY STAGES OF SHOEMAKING CRAFTSMANSHIP

CLICKING

The clicking process is a crucial step in shoe manufacturing, where the individual leather pieces that make up the upper are cut into precise shapes before being assembled. This stage gets its name from the sound the machines make as they cut through the material.

CLOSING

The closing process in shoe manufacturing refers to the stage where the individual components of the shoe upper, such as the vamp, quarters, and tongue, are sewn or stitched together to form the complete upper structure of the shoe.

LASTING

The lasting process is a critical stage in shoe manufacturing, where the shoe's upper is molded into its final shape and attached to the sole. This process gives the shoe its structure, fit, and comfort, making it one of the most important steps in creating a well-constructed shoe.

FINALISING

The shoes undergo a thorough inspection and refinement before they are packaged and shipped to you. This process is critical for ensuring that each pair of shoes meets the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.

I LOVE the boot itself. I've never had a shoe fit that well out of the box. I ordered the wide variant since I have very wide feet, and am super pleased that I did. The thick leather feels super premium and looks nice.

I'm rating 3/5 stars though since there is an important issue with the soles. The soles are too soft.
Walking around with this shoe leaves litteral streaks of rubber on the floor. They are easy enough to clean up, but that's a real real bummer with this shoe. And because the rubber is so soft, the edges of the sole start to look fuzzy which is a detriment to the beautiful look of this shoe.
It's very surprising to me that I've hear no online reviewer mention this...

As much as I love these boots i find them too clumsy and very hard to drive in although there a very well made boot im very disappointed with the sizing I wish I'd stuck to my usual size 11uk but was advised to get 12uk i think if I'd seen them before I purchased it may of reconsider

The Youtube reviews say it all except for the packaging! It comes with two shoehorns and dust bags for both shoes.

Well made. Comfortable. Looks good.

When the boots arrived, the box was in such a state that I was worried, however the boots were just fine. Only one very minor scuff that buffed out easily. I was concerned that the boots were not going to work out for me when I first tried them on, especially the right boot, it was tighter than I thought it would be. I'm no stranger to breaking boots in though, so I decided to keep them and work on breaking them in. I'm 3 wears in so far, and they are already very comfortable. The outsole is very grippy, the leather feels absolutly premium, and the insole has the perfect cushion. I can't wait to have many adventures in them.
