The Coast embodies a dress sneaker silhouette while using our favorite vegetable-tanned leathers. The thicker upper leather handles everyday abuse without concern and will age similarly to your favorite Goodyear-welt boot.
This article is made in one of Italy's boutique tanneries whichspecializes in vegetable tanning. The leather is placed in a 'Bottali' which is a large barrel thatrotates allowing the organic tanningsubstances to stay in contact with the article. A complete cycle may take 30 - 35 days.
This leather is durable, has the scent of a saddle room, and ages beautifully.
Prominent vamp breaks and a variation in color should be expected with this type of bovine leather.
