Shipping
Orders are prepared quickly and usually arrive within 4–7 business days. You get tracking as soon as your pair leaves our workshop.
Unsure about size? Exchanges are free and returns are accepted within 30 days, as long as the pair comes back in original condition.
Wear & care
Smooth leather keeps its look with simple care. Wipe gently after wear, let shoes dry away from direct heat, and condition occasionally.
Store Ruben with shoe trees to keep the shape and draw out moisture between wears.
Why Pierre Cabot exists
Pierre, Co-founder
& his associate — Paris, 2021
In every internship, every meeting room,
I was never fully myself.
My shoes were holding me back.
During his finance internships at Liquitee, Pierre kept facing the same silent problem: long days on his feet, the wrong shoes, and the constant feeling that his confidence was being undermined before he even opened his mouth. He searched for years — tried everything from £500 Italian loafers to budget high-street options. None of them worked.
Late 2020, over coffee with his co-founder, one sentence changed everything: "If it doesn't exist, we'll create it." Two years of R&D followed. A partnership with Dr. Clara Fortin, certified podiatrist. Twelve prototypes. 60+ feet tested. Until prototype #47 — the one where Pierre walked four hours on Florentine cobblestones and, for the first time, forgot he was wearing new shoes.

Our Story
Born from a simple question — why should elegance hurt?
In 2021, after yet another day of meetings and sore feet, Pierre Cabot decided to change the rules.
Between stiff dress shoes and soulless sneakers, modern men had been forced to choose between style and comfort.
