How to measure: stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall, mark the tip of your longest toe and measure the distance from the wall. Choose the size that matches your foot length.

natural characteristics

Variations in tone, texture and shading are not flaws: they are the fingerprint of the hide. With wear, the leather softens, moulds to the shape of your foot and develops a patina of its own, so that each pair ages in its own way.

details

Leather

Black vegetable-tanned horse leather (culatta) worked on the reverse side, with a matte, rough-out surface and natural shading that deepens with wear. Classic open-laced derby with a rounded toe, five-eyelet lacing and a natural leather lining.

Sole & Hardware

Leather sole with a non-slip rubber insert and a low stacked heel. Round waxed laces with metal tips, and a heel tab with a decorative metal ring — please do not use it to pull the shoes on.

leather, sole & hardware care

Water Exposure

Vegetable-tanned leather is not waterproof. If your shoes get wet, blot the excess moisture with a clean, dry cloth without rubbing, and let them dry naturally at room temperature, away from radiators and other heat sources.

Cleaning & Stains

Full-grain, full culatta and raw culatta leathers can be nourished with a soft cotton cloth and a small amount of moisturizing cream, applied evenly across the entire surface; note that it may slightly darken the leather. Hand-dyed leathers are best cleaned with a small amount of glycerin soap, applied in the same way. On polished leathers, avoid creams and use only a soft, dry cloth. On reverse culatta, use only a soft suede brush, following the direction of the nap. In all cases, do not treat isolated stains directly, as this may fix or darken the mark rather than remove it.

Conditioning

Use only products suited to the specific leather, apply them sparingly and always test them on a hidden area first. Avoid oils and waxes, which may darken the surface or alter its colour and finish.

Sole & Insole Care

Remove dirt from the sole with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth, taking care not to wet the leather upper or the insole. Leather insoles naturally darken with wear: let them breathe between uses and avoid wearing the shoes with wet feet.

Hardware Care

Our buckles, rings and zips are hand-forged in wrought iron or brass. Keep them dry, wiping them with a soft cloth after damp days. If a zip becomes stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant, protecting the surrounding leather.
