When I discovered Beckett Simonon I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Their website was eye-catching, elegant, and the concept of handcrafted footwear by artisans wasn’t something new to me. However, there was one thing that stood out to me: the shipping timeline.

All of Beckett Simonon shoes are crafted to order in small batches and shipped directly from Bogotá, Colombia. The unique process takes between 6 to 8 weeks to complete since Beckett Siminon doesn’t cut corners and pays extra attention to every detail to guarantee the longevity of their products.

Initially, I wasn’t very keen on the shipping timeline since I’m so accustomed to shipments taking less than a week. However, embracing this longer timeframe made me more aware of my buying habits.

During that span of 6 to 8 weeks, I received multiple emails providing insights into the progress of my custom-made footwear. Personally, I found great joy in receiving periodic updates that offered a peek into the artisans behind my shoes and the current stage of their creation.

When I received my package, enclosed was a handwritten note by the artisan that crafted my shoes. Also each pair of shoes came with shoe covers, extra laces, and shoe inserts.

All of Beckett Simonon’s footwear are well-built timeless styles that last for years, not seasons. The materials they use get even better with time and can also be repaired if need be.

Here is a review of the styles we currently have in our closet:

Siena Loafers

The Siena Loafers are the epitome of chic and comfort, making them the perfect choice for daily wear. These stylish loafers not only elevate your everyday outfits but also offer a sturdy foundation for your feet. Crafted with exquisite Italian leather sourced from an eco-friendly tannery, these shoes have earned prestigious accolades from the Leather Working Group for their exceptional quality.

How long does it take to break in the shoes?

So far, every pair of shoes I’ve received have been comfortable straight out of the box and required little or no break-in period. This obviously varies based on your feet, the right size, socks, and how you walk. If your shoes feel stiff at first, they should get more comfortable over time. I would recommend wearing them inside first and if they still hurt, definitely reach out to their customer service.

Final Thoughts

This is the first time I really experienced the process of conscious consumerism. I’ve heard the term be tossed around before, but it was the first time I was actually experiencing it.

Not only does this reduce waste, but it’s smarter to wait a little bit for an affordable and well made product that will last for years, rather than purchasing something that you’ll most likely replace within six months. Being more responsible of my buying choices is much needed for a more sustainable future.

I also feel it’s important to note that Beckett Simonon produces quality products at a great price without the loss of human dignity. They care about giving customers a great experience while also respecting their artisans.

They actively hire expert artisans with disabilities, provide paid time off (maternity and paternity leave), provide healthcare, pension plans, and more. I’m impressed because I’ve never received this much care working for various companies in the United States.
