You pull the braided laces tight, step out in sand coloured suede, and nobody sees the hidden lift inside the shoe until you stand a little taller than usual.

This mid-top casual sneaker has a suede upper with a soft napped finish, a round toe with apron stitching, round braided laces with a small metal cord lock and a pull loop at the heel. Beneath it sits a thick rubber platform sole with a wave pattern tread, edged by a double row of stitching.

Inside, a hidden insole adds 6 cm or 8 cm of height, depending on the option you choose, while the outside heel stays flat. The shoe comes in khaki or brown, in sizes EU 36 to 47, with an EVA insole, a super fiber lining and a PU inner surface.

Key Benefits

• Hidden height lift. Choose 6 cm or 8 cm of inner height increase. From the outside the shoe keeps a flat profile.
• Suede upper. The upper is genuine leather with a soft napped suede surface, in a sand khaki or an olive brown.
• Thick rubber sole. A rubber platform sole with a wave pattern tread is stitched around the edge for a retro board shoe look.
• Quick lacing. Round braided laces run through a small metal cord lock, and a loop at the heel helps you pull the shoe on.
• Soft lining. A super fiber lining and a PU inner surface sit above an EVA insole.
• Mid-top shape. The collar rises to the ankle bone, a retro shape that pairs with jeans, joggers and chinos.

Best for: Everyday wear with jeans, joggers and chinos, for men who want a retro suede sneaker with a little extra height.

Why It Works

Retro board shoes put the sole at the centre of the look. The thick sole, the apron toe and the visible stitching give this pair its character, and the suede keeps the colour soft rather than shiny.

The lift is inside the shoe. From the outside you see a standard flat sole, so you can pick the 6 cm or the 8 cm option without changing the look of the pair.

How It Fits Your Routine

Slip them on with the heel loop, pull the laces through the cord lock and head out. The khaki pair sits easily with light jeans and the brown pair with dark denim.

On a weekend walk the wave tread and the thick sole give the shoe a solid footprint on pavement. Choose the 8 cm option if you want the biggest lift.

To care for the suede, brush it with a soft suede brush to lift the nap.

FAQ

What is in the package? A pair of shoes and shoelaces. The 8 cm option photos show a pair of blue heel inserts beside the shoe, and the packing list names only the shoes and the laces.

Which size should I order? Sizes run from EU 36 to EU 47 and the size guide gives the US equivalent for each. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one.
