Before rubber soles and foam, shoes were leather, thread and craft, and people walked closer to the earth. Our originals are made the same way. Each pair is hand-sewn with waxed cotton thread and has a vegetable-tanned leather sole. A solid copper rivet, hammered through by hand, connects your foot to the ground. The leather molds to you over time, until the pair feels like it was made only for you.
Why you'll love them
- Truly handmade. Hand-sewn with 100% waxed cotton thread, with a copper rivet hand-hammered through the sole.
- Natural, head to toe. Vegetable-tanned water buffalo leather insole and outsole, fully lined in soft natural sheepskin.
- Shapes itself to you. The leather softens and molds to your foot with every wear, and it looks better with age.
- Barefoot freedom. A wide, foot-shaped toe box gives your toes room to spread.
Fit
Runs slightly small, so go up if you're between sizes. Expect a snug fit at first. Natural leather and cotton stitching stretch and soften over the first days to weeks of wear. See our size guide.
