Port Elizabeth, E. Cape, SA – Women’s leather comfort/lifestyle brand Julz Shoes has launched a men’s collection under the brand Will’s Shoes.

Both ranges are “locally designed, made offshore”, GM Hayley Barker said.

“Julz has built a loyal customer base through its signature leather sneakers, sandals, and lifestyle footwear collections designed for modern women looking for versatile everyday wear,” she said.

“Known for combining trend-conscious design with wearable comfort, Julz Shoes has positioned itself as a leading lifestyle footwear brand within the South African retail space. The collections focus on premium materials, modern silhouettes, and accessible luxury, with a strong emphasis on comfort-driven design that suits the pace of everyday life.

“Building on the success of the women’s range, the business is now expanding into the men’s market with the launch of Will’s Shoes, a new men’s footwear brand developed to offer the same balance of comfort, quality, and understated style that customers have come to associate with Julz.

“Will’s Shoes focuses on elevated casual footwear for men, including contemporary sneakers and relaxed lifestyle styles crafted with premium finishes and clean, versatile design. The range is aimed at the modern consumer seeking comfort-led footwear without compromising on aesthetics.

“The launch of Will’s marks an exciting new chapter for the business as the brand continues to evolve within the South African footwear industry while remaining focused on wearable design, quality craftsmanship, and strong customer connection.”

Julz is an online retailer, but has a wholesale programme. According to its website, its “ideal retail partners” are:

• Established boutiques or curated retail spaces.
• Stores with a strong visual identity and brand presence.
• Retailers with an active social media presence.
• Businesses that understand their customer and price positioning.
• Owners who are excited to sell, style and wear the product.
