A pair of British shoes

The luxurious pair "Tornado Halley Stevensons" of the ultra-lightweight model Tornado that Norman Walsh liked. Waxed cotton from Scottish long-established fabric maker Halley Stevensons is used for the upper, and Melton wool from the well-established Hainsworth company is used for the cuffs, making the sneakers elegant and British.

The fit you feel every time you walk

Shoes are an important part of protecting and supporting our feet. Even if you don't usually care about it, if you have shoes that fit well, you can walk and run without stress every day. WALSH was born by a genuine shoemaker, and is a brand that represents such stress-free sneakers. These sneakers show their high manufacturing technology and enthusiasm for making shoes.

The "Tornado" series is an improved version of the running model that Walsh, the founder of the brand, said he especially liked. The sneakers are extremely simple and chic, with a design that follows the shape of the foot, slip resistance, and above all, a glimpse of the background made for running. However, even though it is modeled after running shoes, it has beautiful coloring and a stylish shape that makes it easy to use as sneakers for everyday use. It is a particularly lightweight model among WALSH, and this series is recommended for those who wear it for the first time. Since it is a classic style, it is a Tornado that you can easily wear regardless of clothes.

The biggest feature of WALSH sneakers Tornado Halley Stevensons Iron is the selection of materials. Waxed cotton is used instead of the usual nylon upper. Waxed cotton is a fabric that has been used for hunting jackets worn during hunting, and is made water-repellent by impregnating cotton with wax. The more you wear it, the more the wax will come off, and you can enjoy the aging of the color and texture. In addition, melton wool is used for the mouth to provide a soft feel. You can feel the lightness of the upper when you put your feet in, and it is a comfortable sneaker that fits your feet perfectly. In addition, the sole has a moderate thickness, and even when it stops suddenly, it responds firmly like a car tire. It's a pair that you can't let go of, which has both functionality and elegant appearance.

Born from the hands of a genius shoemaker

Norman Walsh chose to become a shoemaker at the age of 14 in 1945. As an apprentice, I joined Foster Bros. Footwear, which was run by Reebok's founder's grandfather, and devoted myself to making shoes. Norman's high skill discovered by Mr. Foster is said to have been recognized as a master craftsman, and he will be working on shoes for the British Olympic team at the age of 16. At the Olympic Games, the record of athletes has grown tremendously, and Norman shoes have become known to top athletes around the world.

And in 1961, Norman founded Norman Walsh Footwear. Since then, we will manufacture sneakers for use in all fields such as track and field, cricket, football, and rugby. In 1981, provided shoes to the Everest Climbing Corps. Flexible shoes that can withstand harsh environments are recognized worldwide. The best feature of WALSH sneakers is that they are all made by hand. From sewing to bottoming and packing, we carry out everything at our own factory in Bolton, England, and the craftsmen who have inherited Norman's craftsmanship to meet the needs of various customers continue to carefully make each pair.
