The iconic double buckle model, first conceived by John Lobb in the 1940s, is a timeless design that combines functionality and impeccable style. An original and timeless model, whose high-level artisanal construction ensures it remains the quintessential double buckle shoe.

How to wear it

When it first appeared about 80 years ago, the double buckle was considered a weekend sports shoe – certainly not to be worn with a suit. But times have changed.

The William model is perfectly suited to an executive look when paired with an unstructured suit or flannel fabric. Outside the work environment, the William also looks splendid with white five-pocket trousers.

And with jeans?
It's fascinating to imagine a pair of worn jeans – or even ripped ones – above a pair of double buckles, but as always, you have to try it to see the effect.

One last note:
Is it important that the buckles of your William match your belt buckle? That's for you to decide. It doesn't make you obsessive, just meticulous.
