Alec is a superb alternative to the smart casual lacing shoe. By having a single wide velcro band, this style ensures a snug adjustable fit, without the faff. The charcoal black leather works well with the dark taupe stitching. A separate tongue, identical to a lacing shoe, gives Alec a semi-formal feel. The leather upper is soft and supple, allowing comfortable flexibility. Hand stitched construction of sole to upper, increases flexibility when walking. Inside, the shoe is completely leather lined. The leather is naturally very breathable, perfect for ensuring an optimum climate within the footwell. The removable insole is a leather-topped, antibacterial pad. There is considerable cushioning at the heel and perforation at the toe. These increase shock absorption and encourage air to flow around the toes when in motion. Seibel has designed Alec to be an extra wide K fit. The tapered shape means this shoe is broad at the bridge of the foot, without appearing so when worn. Underfoot is a lightweight and flexible PU outsole. PU is known for its shock absorbing qualities, ideal for those who are more sensitive to impact from the ground.

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.
