These are amazing shoes! Hand made in Japan with beautiful Horween Shell Cordovan. The sole is a gum sole starting at the heel, running up to the toe, than at the toe it's a leather sole. Unlike most shoe's of this style there is a grip in the sole which gives the shoe a more rugged look and feel, while the horse leather and the silhouette upkeep the classic and traditional sensibilities.
Admittedly, these are expensive and coming from this store, that is saying a lot, but these are very unique shoes, beautifully hand crafted.
Enjoy!
