With summer finally here, it’s inevitable that your diary is jam-packed with seasonal events and sunny escapes. Which, when it comes to footwear, means finding the perfect pair of shoes to slip into. Step in: Crockett & Jones, the 144-year-old shoemaker with the ideal shoe for all your summer gallivants. 

Known for its quality craftsmanship, thoughtful designs and seriously hard-working shoes, Crockett & Jones welcomes two new additions to its summer suede collection for 2026. While the best-selling Salcombe 2 arrives in two new shades (dark brown and ocean blue), a new short-vamp penny loafer, the Sorrento, comes in a trio of shades that represent the brand’s most casual loafer yet. Each style has been meticulously crafted in the cobbler’s Northampton factory, using its signature Goodyear-welted process to promise strength, durability and that signature Crockett & Jones style. 

Salcombe 2

Furthering the perennially popular Salcombe collection, the Salcombe 2 brings a lightweight leather-lined iteration of the plain-front loafer ideal for the summer months. Made using an unstructured construction method and featuring a raised seam apron, gum coloured rubber wedge soles and box stitch detailing, the result is a simple but smart, sophisticated and airy loafer. 

The new style comes in both a rich dark chocolate brown and fresh ocean blue suede, joining last season’s pistachio, desert and snuff suede counterparts. Effortless to wear and guaranteed to instantly elevate your outfit, wear with linen suits for the races, Wimbledon and seasonal weddings, or pair with chinos and shorts when heading for beachside cocktails in far-flung destinations.

Sorrento

The Sorrento uses the same unstructured construction method as the Salcombe 2  and features flexi-welts and lightweight ribbing. This time, Crockett & Jones has removed the toe stiffener and used the tight fibre structure of the shoulder insoles to provide longevity and comfort. Simply put, this ensures a loafer that is more relaxed than restricted and feels just as good as it looks. 

A more informal style, the Sorrento is available in three shades: pick from a neutral desert hue, subtle pistachio green and coastal-inspired pastel blue (or take all three). A must-have for sun-drenched getaways, paired with breezy linens and cottons, whether in the Amalfi or the Cornish coast, the Sorrento is the answer to practical but polished laidback footwear this summer.
