This shoe has been handcrafted in fine cowhide leather, chrome tanned and dyed in black. Both the insole and the outsole are made of leather, making them very breathable and comfortable shoes.

That formal touch turns them into a very versatile shoe that is able to adapt to many environments, from business offices to more chilled occasions.
Their special double monk design became popular in the early 20th century, being inspired by European buckle shoes from the 17th century.
