Bradley Brown
The Bradley is designed and made to last in both style and quality alike, a shoe that you’ll get stopped and asked about more than every once in a while. The HELM signature white midsole and the rubber Fineline bottoming give it just enough versatility to wear with denim and chinos, while the shape, pattern, and two rows of double stitching on the toecap give it enough class to wear with a suit. Whether it’s a collared shirt or a t-shirt, the Bradley is your go-to shoe.

What's In A Name
The Bradley is named after HELM's President, Bradley Day. After a successful 16 year career in footwear, Brad joined the HELM team in early 2016, and we're all the better for it. Much like this shoe, Brad is both classic and current, a leader and a team player, always walking with integrity, and we are proud to be led by him.

Have taken a little longer to break in than other pairs of Helm I have. Would love to see these offered in wider than D, as this feels like it must be the narrowest last Helm offers, compared to my Pablos (9D) and Mullers (9.5D). Was recommended to drop a full size down from my normal shoe size (10) as with the Pablo boot. Fantastic looking shoe and goes with any outfit.

The shoes look great and the quality is there. First time wearing them though, no skin left on the back of either heel. Put some mink oil on them, second time wearing them, lasted two hours before needing to switch to other shoes. I have a pair of Aldens, and they blow Helms out of the water for comfort. I am hoping these continue to get better with each wear though. Lots of compliments on them when I have them on. Again, they look great and seem well made which is why I still gave four stars which says a lot when I had two bloody heels the first time out in them. Will put the last star back if they break in at some point. I would recommend but would let the person know about my experience so far. Again I have Aldens, Red Wings, Fryes, etc... I know how quality should fit and break in.
