Model 98 is our celebrated country house shoe and the iconic Wildsmith original heritage piece. Inspired by the loafer we created for King George VI it was once marketed as a shoe for the "house and over the way". That was our original way of describing the incredible versatility of this timeless design. Our modern interpretation has the diamond punching that is in our DNA, a classic leather sole and superb attention to detail. Dress it up or down, this is the icon.

Fitting

Here at Wildsmith, we have spent many years mastering our craft but we understand that everyone’s feet are different shapes and sizes. Some like their shoes with plenty of room and others like them tighter. Our shoes tend to be a standard fitting but we have created this size guide with the help of our fitting experts. We hope we can find your perfect fit. If you have any fitting enquiries, please email us at info@wildsmith.com or get specific advice for this last here.

Care guide

We only make our footwear from the finest quality materials but without proper care that benefit will be lost, so maximise your investment by following these simple tips.

Keep them clean

Use a dry cloth or a stiff shoe brush to prevent the build-up of dust and dirt.

Store them well

Use a shoe tree to store your freshly polished shoes to preserve their ‘just-new’ look. Keep them dry but don't use direct heat.

Leather care

Apply shoe cream to help nourish the leather and prevent drying and cracking. Using a wax polish will maximise the water-repelling properties of the leather, form a layer of protection against staining and create that perfect shine.
