Cari is an attractive, plain black open bar shoe with some attractive features that make it that little bit different from all the rest. Cari has a soft nubuck leather upper with tiny holes punctuating it throughout. This is both aesthetically effective as well as allowing air to flow through the shoes, keeping your feet cool and breathable. The side shafts of this bar shoe sweep in towards the toe, forming an unusual ‘v’ shaped vamp that is very flattering on the foot. Reinforced heel and toe counters hold your feet securely in position, facilitated by the Mary Jane style strap that wraps over the top over your foot and fastens on the outside of your foot. The edges of the leather strap are crimped and where it fastens to the side shaft it is decorated with a large oval pewter bead inscribed with a floral design. Cari has a squared off toe that leaves you plenty of wiggle room. The sole unit of this flat is made from flexible, durable and shock absorbing polyurethane. Together with the soft, spongy, anti-stress, leather-lined insole the sole unit forms a substantial, stable foundation.

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.
