With a deep-rooted passion for style and craftsmanship, our journey began with a vision to redefine professional footwear.

W.M. Gibson was born out of a realization by Marcus Gibson—a finance professional at TPG Sixth Street at the time—that the market lacked loafers that combined timeless design, exceptional quality, and accessibility. Together with his wife, Beca, Marcus set out to bridge this gap.

Starting in their own home, Marcus and Beca dedicated themselves to creating loafers that embodied both form and function. By eliminating middlemen and overhead costs, they crafted shoes that were as affordable as they were beautiful.

The initial response exceeded all expectations. Orders poured in, and the Gibsons worked tirelessly, personally packing every shipment and writing handwritten thank-you notes at their bathroom sink. Their commitment to quality and their customers became the cornerstone of W.M. Gibson’s identity.

By this point, W.M. Gibson had established a reputation for excellence among professionals who demanded footwear that could keep up with their fast-paced lives.

With demand skyrocketing, Marcus knew the brand needed a partner who understood both the lifestyle of their customers and the challenges of scaling a business. That’s when Matt Davis, a loyal customer and investment banker, joined as a partner.

Matt’s expertise in sales, marketing, and customer engagement complemented Marcus’s dedication to design and production. Together, they laid the foundation for the next phase of W.M. Gibson’s journey: creating shoes for professionals who strive for success in every aspect of their lives.

As the brand continues to evolve, our commitment to quality and style remains at the heart of everything we do.

Our mission remains clear: to create exceptional footwear that empowers professionals to walk confidently into their next big opportunity.

Our rebrand this year marks a return to our roots in finance and a celebration of the professionals we serve.

Whether you’re cranking out Excel models, working on billion-dollar M&A deals, or heading out for a rare date night, W.M. Gibson shoes are designed to meet the demands of your lifestyle.

Thank you for being part of our story. Together, we’ll continue to redefine what it means to walk with purpose and style.
