Today's Shoes

Vass half-brogue bals in cognac Scotch grain calf on Peter last. The closed lacing may make you think of a formal shoe, but the pebble grain, the color, the last, and the double soles all conspire to make this a shoe that's perfectly appropriate with jeans. The medallion, which overlaps the edges of the toe cap and goes almost all the way down to the sole, is a hallmark of central European shoemaking.
