CORRECTED - Hutton’s are the playboy chukka Steve McQueen wore, sanders are similar - not had a pair of this model before, half a size up FYI - no, the crepe can’t be resoled but sanders will ‘re-fox’ them (sole edge band) - I was reluctant to spend money on shoes that can’t be resoled but saw the price of trainers and thought fuck it...
Some independent cobblers would give resoling a good go, guy in southwark would be my first choice (I’ll find his name/shop in a bit)

I went down a proper google rabbit hole after you posted the picture, I think it was Huttons that McQueen originally wore (Bullitt) but they went bust, Sanders and a few others reproduce something similar including a Swedish brand who bought the copyright to the ‘Playboy Chukka’. Anyway, nice shoes, very jealous - please let me know how they hold together...

@mattyc just found a good online deal for some Sanders and I remember you said ‘half a size up’... So if I’m a 10 I should buy 10.5? Cheers

I’ll confess that I’ve never heard of Sanders, they look great. Have you had them before? Can that crepe sole be replaced?
