  • Built to Last

    Unlike typical sneakers, The Pilgrim is built to the same high standards as our boots, featuring full leather lining and stitched—not glued—soles.

    Navigate the different parts to learn more about the build quality.

  • Full Leather Lining

    The softest calf leather touches every part of your foot. Leather lining increases the shoe's durability, wicks away moisture more efficiently, and prevents smelly feet.

  • Calf Leather Upper

    This leather is soft and supple, offering a lightweight feel that's perfect for the easy, carefree wear of a sneaker.

  • Stitched Construction

    Glued soles often detach with regular wear. That’s why we’ve chosen a stitched construction for these sneakers, ensuring both durability and easy repairs or resoles when needed.

  • Removable Insole

    This removable foam insole, lined with leather, offers the perfect balance of comfort and support.

  • Rubber Cupsole

    This lightweight, flexible and grippy sole is just what you need on a minimal sneaker.

FAQ

What last (shape & fit) is used for this pair?

Besides looking beautiful, the shape fits incredibly comfortable, as has been confirmed by all of our customers. People of all heights, weights, and sizes.

Where is Lennertson located?

We're a Belgian-Dutch company based in the North-Eastern Limburg area of Belgium. Here we do our everyday work like designing shoes and communicating with customers.
Lennertson is also made up of the countless people who contribute to our mission. Be it our lastmaker in England, our craftspeople in Spain and Portugal, or you who wears our shoes anywhere in the world.

Ethical labor: What is Lennertson's policy?

We grew in working class families and greatly admire the men and women who work on our footwear. Fair & safe labor conditions are essential to us. We produce locally within the European Union, where the highest standards of these laws and rights are guaranteed. We choose to only collaborate with companies that share our values. Being close allows us to visit frequently and maintain a close relationship with all our partners.

Sustainable fashion: Where does Lennertson source materials?

We source our leather from the highest-quality tanneries in Europe. European tanneries are strictly regulated by the European Environmental Agency, resulting in far more environmentally friendly tanning practices than in many other parts of the world. We only use leathers that are a side-product of the meat industry.

Our rubber soles are made by local European, family-run businesses as well.

Regarding footwear sustainability, construction methods are equally important to sourcing. Our shoes are Goodyear welted, with stitched soles instead of glued. Our sneakers also have a stitched construction. This results in far more sustainable shoes that will last you a very long time and are endlessly repairable.

'Handmade': Why are there imperfections in my shoes?

This question isn't actually asked frequently because customers fall in love with our shoes from the moment they open the box.

Lennertson shoes and boots are made in a traditional and artisanal way.

The process involves a lot of handcraft, and when machines are used, it's always a person's hand guiding the shoe. As such, it's perfectly possible for you to see slight imperfections: two stitches that are not the exact same size, slight color variations, etc.
A computer makes things perfect. A human being makes things with passion, love, and charming imperfections. That's our view; we believe you'll share it.
