PRODUCT FEATURES

MAKER'S NOTES
The style is the Mellor II, Goral's iconic minimalist leather sneaker. The culmination of over 80 years of shoemaking in the Goral family, each sneaker goes through as many as 200 individual processes in their factory in Sheffield. This unique sneaker collaboration combines Goral's craftsmanship with Billy Tannery's exceptional British goat leather.
Our goat leather is the ideal material for making sneakers. Not only is it lightweight and soft, but also strong and durable. Vegetable-tanned in small batches on our farm in the Midlands from goatskins sourced in the UK, we don't think you'll find sneakers that are kinder on the environment. What's more, Goral's REBUILD+ service means that your shoes can be resoled for many decades to come.
Head to our blog to discover three Sheffield locals who embody the creativity of this unsung city.
SIZE GUIDE
Goral use a 'true to size' last in the production process so men should be able to order your usual size. It's not an exact science though, so we recommend using the size guide below to make sure you get the fit that's best for you. This is particularly important for ladies as sizing as unisex sizing will be different to your standard size.
Usually go for a half size? We recommend sizing up. 
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR FEET
When measuring your feet the length line runs through the middle of the foot from the centre of the heel to the centre of the toes, the width line then runs perpendicular to the length line along the widest part of the foot.
To measure your feet, place a sheet of paper on the ground against a wall, stand on it with your heel against the same wall, and mark with a pencil around your longest toe (not always your big toe). Make sure the pencil is vertical and wear the same socks that you intend to wear with your shoes. For best results ask someone else to do this while you stand still.
