Why 70% off?

The Avelmore family received an offer to sell the brand and move production to a factory line. They refused, and chose to close the workshop instead. Every pair is still bench-lasted by hand in Almansa, Goodyear welted, and built to outlive the brand that made it. This is the final production run at 70% off. Not a promotion. A farewell on their own terms. When the last pair ships, the name retires with it. No restocking. No exceptions.

Description

The Boat Shoe honours a classic form. Stitched by hand in Italy with a moccasin construction and left unlined for lightness. A tonal rubber sole adds grip and a discreet sporty character. The silhouette suits wide-leg trousers and pairs just as well with tailored shorts on deck.

Care

Rotate between wears and store with shoe trees or lightly stuffed with tissue paper to support the soft construction.
Use a shoe horn when putting them on and remove the shoes by hand to protect the heel.
Brush or wipe the grain leather gently after wear to remove dust from the textured surface.
Clean with leather cleaner when required and apply a light cream to maintain suppleness.
Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth and mild soap when required.
Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

How to measure your feet:

1. Wear the socks you typically pair with loafers.

2. Place your foot on a piece of paper and trace its outline.

3. Measure from the heel to the longest toe using a ruler.

4. Match your measurement to the table above and adjust for foot shape accordingly.Note: The CM and Inch values above correspond to the recommended size based on your foot's length, not the shoe's internal length.

Adjust for foot shape:

– Normal: Choose the size closest to your measurement.
– Wide: Choose a half size larger than your nearest measurement.
– Narrow: Choose the smaller size if your measurement falls between two sizes. The Boat Shoe is unlined, allowing for a looser fit. Need help?– Chat: click on the chat icon in the bottom right corner– Email: hello@Avelmore.com

Thirteen Years. One Last Run.

Thirteen years in the same workshop in Almansa. The same benches, the same wooden lasts, the same hands. A pair took days, not minutes, and left only when it was right.

That is also why it ends. We were asked to move production abroad and cut the welt. We said no, and closed instead.

What remains is the final run, now at 70% off. When a size is gone, it is gone.

Shoes like these outlive the workshop that made them. That was always the point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the closing sale, sizing, shipping, returns and warranty.

The Avelmore family was asked to move production abroad and cut the welt. They refused, and chose to close the workshop instead. Every pair in this final run is now 70% off, already reflected in the price. Not a promotion. A farewell on their own terms.

Every product page has its own size guide with EU, UK, US and centimetre conversions for that specific last. Trace your foot, measure heel to longest toe, and match it to the table. Most of our lace-ups fit large, so we usually recommend going half a size down. If you are between sizes, message us before ordering.

No. This is the final production run. Each size was made once and will not be produced again. When a size sells out, it leaves the site for good, so if you find your size available, it is the last time you will.

Every pair is bench-lasted by hand in our workshop in Almansa, Spain, using full-grain leather and Goodyear welted construction. That means the sole is stitched, not glued, so the shoes can be resoled and worn for years rather than replaced.

Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days. We offer free worldwide shipping, with delivery typically taking 7 to 15 business days depending on your location. You'll receive a tracking link as soon as your order ships.

Every pair is covered by a 1-year craftsmanship warranty on construction, stitching and sole attachment, honoured until the last day, even after the workshop closes. And you have 30 days to return your order for a full refund if the fit is not right. Try them on indoors on a clean surface to keep them returnable.
