Sue is a stylish trainer with an upper constructed from black leather side shafts and reinforced black nubuck toe and heel counters that hold your feet securely in position. Tiny holes punctuate the side shafts and are aesthetically effective as well as allowing air to flow through the shoes, keeping your feet cool and breathable. Sue has a discreet absorptive grey-silver textile lining and a pull up tag on the tongue and at the heel to help with adjusting the fit. A chunky zip that is both fashionable and functional runs down the vamp on the outside of the foot, alongside which can be found two rows of six pewter eyelets through which an elastic lace threads. This can be knot fastened to tighten or loosen the fit. The soft, supple leather and textile upper of Sue encloses comfortably around your feet. This is facilitated by an elasticated edge to the upper as well as the fastening options. Making this trainer suitable for an active, everyday lifestyle is it’s flexible, durable and shock absorbing PU sole unit that forms a sturdy 4cm heel and curves up at the toe to facilitate the natural forward rolling motion of your feet as you walk. One of Sues’s most advantageous features however is the inclusion of Rieker’s anti-stress MemoSoft insole. Wearing these trainers feels literally, like walking on air.

About Rogerson Shoes:
Who we are and how is it that we came to be so passionate about shoes?
Like many classics our story revolves around one or two ambitious pioneers, a love affair, war, a family drama, conflict and its resolution. What laces this story together is a connection with the land, and a need to provide for the people of it.
Let’s set the scene of how our business was born. It’s 1905 and Thomas Rogerson sits concentrating over his tools in a shed at the end of a bridge in Rothbury. Motivated by the desire to win the hand of Isabelle, he needs to learn a trade. And so it was that he learnt to repair shepherd’s boots.
Skip forward over 100 years from this humble beginning, and here we are; from robust, carefully crafted tackety boots designed to tackle the heather hilltops, to on-trend trainers in a spectrum of colours, designed to tackle the concrete jungle! Originally sold under canvas at agricultural shows, by mail order or taken directly to farms. Now, displayed using bright light boxes in our high street stores, or sold via easy on-line orders that will arrive at your door.
What’s new?
Our mission now is to stock a vibrant and compelling choice of shoes, boots, sandals, slippers and bags. Made using traditional and progressive manufacturing techniques and a wide range of materials from Gore-Tex to vegetable tanned leathers, our selection is diverse. Ranging from fun, quirky, edgy and joyful designs, to sophisticated classics, to practical waterproof adventure shoes and boots for enjoying the hills.
Different from other footwear retailers in terms of the breadth of our range, we stock many styles that are unique to our business, including colour combinations, prints and lasts. Prioritising pricing, quality and comfort we work on the principle that well-made shoes wear better, are more of a pleasure to wear, and ultimately, are less wasteful.
Passionate people
The Rogerson’s ethos is one of positivity, and we aim to employ happy people who enjoy their work and convey this in their attitude to others. With weekly training on everything from leather, construction techniques and technical features, our staff aim to facilitate a friendly and efficient shopping experience and will go out of their way to bring you all the shoes you fancy trying on! Alternatively, one of our 120 strong team of keen beans will carefully parcel them up for your online orders. We dispatch from both our central warehouse in the pretty town of Peebles, and from our 13 busy stores across Scotland.
