August Special was established in the belief that a life well-led needs fewer, better things, and that thoughtful selection and care for the items we wear are rewarded with years of useful service. Their collection is concise, carefully made, and produced in small quantities.

Their shoes are designed by the founder, Joseph Pollard, with vintage classics in mind. He spent decades designing for luxury menswear brands, so while his shoes are one-of-a-kind, they're also rooted in the principles that made the classics ubiquitous - wearability, comfort, quality, and taste.
