Competition: win a pair of Royal sneakers from JAK Shoes

In our latest competition, we've teamed up with JAK Shoes to offer readers the chance to win a pair of Royal shoes.

This competition has now closed. 

Two winners will each will a pair of JAK Shoes' signature shoe, the Royal, in a colour and size of their choice. They are up for grabs in both male and female styles.

"The Royal represents our best interpretation of a luxe, minimalistic sneaker. One that you can dress up or down, combined with the best high-end materials we could source," said Isabel and José Maria, who co-founded the company in 2014.

The shoes are crafted from a full grain leather on the upper, paired with a soft calf leather lining and stitched rubber sole. Each shoe has a removable shock-proof insole and all pairs come with an extra set of slim insoles for a loose fit.

"Due to its combination of flexibility and durability over time, we mostly use full grain leather, which is the highest quality and most valued part of the hide," said JAK Shoes. "Full grain leathers carry natural markings, that add character and age beautifully over time."
