Gaziano & Girling

Tony Gaziano and Dean Girling formed Gaziano & Girling in 2006. Both founders worked in bespoke shoemaking before starting the company. In 2025, Gaziano & Girling received a Royal Warrant of Appointment as shoemakers to His Majesty King Charles III. That year, the company became official supplier to the royal household.

Gaziano & Girling manufactures footwear at its factory in Kettering, Northamptonshire. Around 20 artisans work at this location. The company reports efforts to minimize waste and recycle materials. Gaziano & Girling uses energy-efficient methods at the production facility.

Gaziano & Girling uses Goodyear welt construction for all of its shoes. Uppers are made from calf leather sourced from France or Switzerland and processed in Italian tanneries. Oak bark-tanned leather for soles is produced in Devon, England. The tanning process for the sole leather lasts about 12 months and uses tanning pits with a long history.

Gaziano & Girling introduced the Classic Range in 2019. This range includes traditional designs and last shapes, with less complex waists than other lines. The Classic Range retails at a lower price than the main product lines. In 2021, the company launched the Optimum Range. The Optimum Range uses the in-house bespoke workshop and regular ready-to-wear lasts.

The Churchill model is a punched cap toe Oxford in the Classic Range. It is built on the round R18 last. The Grant model appears in the Optimum Range. The company states that the Optimum Range is made to the same methods used in bespoke production.
