You slip a foot in, the leather gives a little at the throat, and a round block heel lifts you 4.5 cm off the pavement.

The shoe has no laces and no strap to fuss with: a shallow V shaped opening takes your foot in one move, the round toe leaves room for your toes, and the tan leather insole is soft under your arch. The embossed square scale pattern on the upper catches the light in black, and shows more warmth in brown.

The upper is cowhide leather, the lining is pigskin, the insole is leather and the outsole is rubber, set on a thick round block heel of 4.5 cm. It comes in black and brown, in sizes 34 to 42, with the maker's size chart giving the foot length for each size.

Why It Works

A slip-on shoe works when the heel is stable and the opening hugs the foot. This one pairs a wide 4.5 cm block heel with a shallow V opening and a leather insole, so it goes on in a second and holds the foot in place on the move.
