By minimizing the shaping of the upper and utilizing a unique, exquisite length, the upper fits snugly against the instep, providing both a secure hold and a beautiful silhouette. The top instep section uses the cordovan layer, while the side and rear sections use suede, allowing you to enjoy the aging process as the textures of these different parts of the same material evolve uniquely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe sole is finished with details seen in highly crafted bespoke footwear. The outsole includes a leather half-midsole, thinned out toward the toe, which creates a fluid appearance while providing functionality that aids in pushing off the ground while walking. The arch is built up (fiddle back) and the edge is polished with a hot iron, transitioning from a flat edge to a rounded edge toward the arch, enhancing both the sharpness of the look and the fit to the sole of the foot. The leather heel is hand-shaped by carving, resulting in an asymmetrical form with a difference between the inner and outer sides. Wooden pegs (nails) are driven into the sole and polished for a finished look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis model comes with a removable original insole, which serves to compensate for fit variations caused by the compression of the midsole as the shoes are broken in.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: \"\u003c\/span\u003eCordovan butt\"\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eAn original material that includes the cordovan layer and the surrounding suede-like sections. This is full-vegetable-tanned horse butt leather, tanned in natural cedar wood pits at a traditional tannery in Himeji, Japan. By intentionally using both the oil-impregnated cordovan layer and the surrounding butt section, the leather features a distinct contrast in textures within a single piece.\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLast: \"\u003c\/span\u003eNo.03\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eA last (shoe mold) for PETROSOLAUM’s high-end line, created using bespoke techniques.
