When sampling this particular wedge sole, we found the treading and balance looked great and the shoe had a nice feel. The silhouette is a bit more casual and the wedge matched with the gutsy leather upper creates a tough shoe that can go anywhere.
The Saddle Tan leather is one of our favorites. This vegetable tanned article is tanned in one of Italy's boutique tanneries which specializes in the process. The leather is placed in a 'Bottali' which is a large barrel that rotates allowing the organic tanning substances to stay in contact with the article. A complete cycle may take 30 - 35 days.
This leather is durable, has the scent of an old saddle room and the squeak of your favorite tooling leather.
*This leather can have prominent vamp breaks and a variation of colors. Since this is a very light colored vegetable tanned article, there may be areas on the shoe which have darker hues.*

Our lasts run a little large so we suggest going down half a size from your average US sneaker/dress shoe size. For example, if your average US sneaker/dress shoe size is a 10D, we suggest a size 9.5D. The D refers to regular width. We do sell E widths (wide) and EEE widths (extra wide).
