A classic men's sneaker, the cupsole trainer has never been more popular than it is now. Loved for its simple silhouette and comfortable design, the cupsole Trainer is both sleek and casual. Perfect for everyday wear, this shoe pairs well with jeans and other casual styles.

These shoes are fully-lined with beautifully soft calfskin leather, which means ultimate comfort. Most companies will only partially line their shoes, but Jim Charles goes the extra mile, lining the shoe throughout because it means a more comfortable shoe and less break-in time.

The Clicking Department is the first stage of production. The highly skilled Clickers (whose name derives from the ‘click’ sound made when the knife is removed from the leather) use predetermined patterns to intricately cut the shoe’s uppers and linings. Each Clicker design and grind the blade of their knife to their own personal taste and working preference.

This style is constructed using the Blake welting method. It’s characterised by a double binding (blake and rapid, precisely); while the first attaches upper, lining and insole; the second one secures the insole and outside sole together.

The Blake welt makes our shoes easy to resole whilst offering delightful flexibility from the very first time you wear your unique design.
