What's In A Name
Nils Juul-Hansen, a man of independent fashion, a devoted father, a talented and tireless artist and photographer, and a loyal friend, has been a true HELMSMAN since the birth of our brand. We met him in 2009 at the HELM launch party, and he has understood, promoted and supported the brand like a champ ever since. Ten years later, we finally designed a shoe that fit the mold of the man himself, an honest rebel that forges his own path and defines his own creative style.

Beautiful black finish and understated design make these shoes really fun to wear. Their quality is superior and the sole should last through many adventures. I think the sizing is a little smaller than my Bradley, but not a problem.
United StatesThis was my first pair of shoes through helm as all of my previous purchases have been boots. These shoes are great! I shouldn't be surprised as I love all my helm boots too. They look great, comfortable from the jump and a great value as well. Don't hesitate, get these shoes!
United StatesThese shoes pop I've wore them with dress slacks and I've worn them with jeans they are comfortable the more I wear them and the more they get broken the better they look I love them so much I recommend them to anybody I ordered every color
United StatesThese are awesome shoes! Comfortable right out of the box! This is my second pair, and won't be my last! Great job, Helm!
United StatesOMG they are outstanding. You are turning me into Imelda Marcos. How many shoes can I buy? I'm going to go broke. All your shoes are gorgeous. Everyone notices them. My friends are calling me "shoes." Thanks a lot.
