A century-old footwear brand from the UK. Founded in 1899 as a family workshop, Alfred Sargent has been in business for four generations and has a long-standing factory in Rushden, North And, UK. Japanese fashion brands such as RL.Beams Plus, Wacko Maria, and Evisu have all asked Alfred Sargent to make shoes.
 
Alfred Sargent's custom business is only a semi-custom MTO business, which can be stitched in shoe shapes, leather, and soles, and offers more than a dozen different toe lasts such as round toe, square toe, and pointed toe. In terms of the decoration of the upper, its skilled shoemakers are able to create a variety of classic British style carved patterns.
 
Alfred Sargent的成鞋目前有两个系列，分别是Handgrade和Exclusive。Alfred Sargent是正装皮鞋的二线品牌，但其高端线Handgrade系列，由于得到了Gaziano&Girling的加持，整体品质在皮鞋界中处于次顶级的位置。值得一提的是，Handgrade系列的鞋底学习了Gaziano&Girling的拿手绝活——Fiddle waist提琴腰背工艺，整个系列都呈现提琴腰的设计，十分精美，非常值得购买。和大多United Kingdom品牌一样，Alfred Sargent大多采用固特异沿边缝，耐用性较高，如果保养得当，穿个二、三十年不成问题。
 
The Handgrade collection of dress shoes includes oxfords, monks and derbys. The best style is the single-buckle Benson shoes, available in calfskin and suede, and it is recommended to choose calfskin, after all, calfskin is the most classic shoe material, so you don't have to worry about formality. Its upper is carved in brogue, stylish and classic, and is the first choice for business meetings. In addition, styles such as the three-joint Derby Browning and the three-joint Oxford Drayton are also good.
 
Each last in the Handgrade series has 53, 48 and 19 to choose from, in comparison, the 19 last has the largest width, the toe is rounded, the 53 last is the second wider, which is the standard square toe, and the 48 last is the narrowest in width, corresponding to the three widths of E, F and G. Men who like the Handgrade collection may have to hurry up and buy it, as it may later switch to the MTO business and no longer offer ready-to-wear shoes. The Exclusive series is more affordable and is also worth buying.
