This oxford model with a straight toe cap is part of the classic Van Bommel collection. The shoe was made using the Blake method. The tread has a fine, anti-slip profile. The sole is made of vegetable-tanned leather that is hand-treated with a stylish finish. The heel is divided into two sections by an elegant dovetail joint. The part that gets the most wear when walking is made of durable rubber, while the adjacent part is made of the same vegetable-tanned leather as the midsole. The heel is slightly sanded to prevent it from getting caught on the hem of the trousers. On the side of the sole edge, two very fine notches have been milled into the top and bottom. The upper leather edge of the shoe has a high-quality finish and narrow piping. On the side of the shoe, right next to the upper lace hole, the sneaker is embossed with the iconic copper VB logo. The lining is entirely made of high-quality calf leather. This shoe is made of beautiful classic, sand-coloured suede from a suede tannery based in Castelfranco di Sotto in the Pisa region of Italy. The suede has a short-cropped nap and an elegant shading effect.
