8 of the best men’s shoes for summer from Duke + Dexter

Whatever sort of style you’re looking to cultivate this summer, your choice of footwear will be one of the cornerstones of achieving the look you’re after and the guys at Duke + Dexter have digital shelves positively packed full of top-quality men’s footwear ideal for the summer months. Check out our pick of 8 of the best below:


Lemon Penny Loafer

From warmer climates to the Big Smoke, each pair of WILDE Lemon Penny Loafers is based on a design pulled from D+D’s in-house specialist’s studio and recreated as a digital print. Featuring lemons aplenty, our handmade Italian leather Penny Loafers are bringing the Mediterranean to you for SS23.

Off White Sneakers

D+D has created a bespoke sole unit and added cushion padding to the heel – keeping you in stride as you put the miles in on the pavement. With their distinctive monochrome heel bar addition and D+D sneaker webbing, they’ve made these sneakers by hand in their workshop from soft yet durable Italian suede in a rich shade of off-white.

Dune Sneakers

 D+D’s best-selling sneaker has been updated – now, you’ll find each pair lined in a breathable bamboo fibre eco-lining, casting a light over the brand’s greener approach towards comfortable footwear. All colourways are pulled together using tonal cotton laces before sitting above custom-made 35mm lightweight soles.

Tan Driving Loafer

Not your average Loafer, because they’re not for average men. Boasting a classic Penny slot across the bridge and an embossed D+D logo at the heel, they have an integrated rubber gommino soles underfoot to ensure that the Hunt Driving Loafer is fit for cruising from A-to-B. Made Different.

Tobacco Boat Shoe

By placing an authentic, deep-lugged rubber Commando sole beneath a traditionally styled, crafted brown leather upper, D+D has reimagined everything you once thought a Boat Shoe could be. Lined with Italian leather and clad in soft suede, they have pulled together the Commando using hand-cut leather laces and D+D branded eyelets.

Berber Penny Loafer

By combining wool fibres with silk details, D+D are bringing Marrakech to London for SS23. A nod to one of Morocco’s most defining characteristics, the Wilde Berber Penny Loafer borrows its name from a civilisation that makes up more than three-fifths of the country’s population.

Mustard x White Penny Loafer

This is a limited summer release. Made by hand using soft Italian suede, D+D’s two-tone penny loafer has been equipped with a natural crepe sole that’s purposefully designed for all-day comfort and durability.

Hand Painted Cali Sneaker

Taking inspiration from the shades of the West Coast, the Cali sneakers are hand painted, finished with a protective layer to make them scratch and water resistant. Boasting a custom sole that’s three times lighter than anything else in class, this sneaker is built for comfort, and made in limited numbers.
