This super-comfy nubuck trainer from Gabor is great for casual, everyday wear. Available in navy (46) black (47), grey (69) and burgundy red (48) Geno 96-385’s soft leather upper will mould to the shape of your feet. Its wide G- fitting provides plenty of wiggle room for your toes while the lace fastening allows you to adjust the tightness or looseness of the fit around your feet. Joining the sections of Geno’s dark navy (46) or black (47) leather upper is contrast coloured stitching that together with a two-tone sole unit adds a visual dynamic to the overall appearance of this stylish and contemporary design. Constructed with active physical wear in mind, 96-385 has a biodynamically designed, 2cm latex rubber sole unit. This wraps up the heel and toe of the trainer in order to protect the leather upper from scuffing and to facilitate the natural rolling motion of the foot from heel strike to toe-off. Lightweight and flexible, latex rubber provides highly effective shock absorption and creates a slip-resistant surface underfoot. Topping the sole unit is a thick, spongy and supportive insole that can easily be replaced with an orthotic if necessary. Maintaining the freshness and comfort of your feet, Geno 96-385 has a soft, absorptive and breathable leather and mesh lining.

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.
