BBF SALE: SIZE 42. The Audrey. Troncato Miel. S23

Character: This is veg tan leather unlike any we have seen.  While the leather is structured from it's veg tannage, the tannery's special tumbling process makes the leather soft and supple, topped with the extra step of ironing the surface while keeping the body and pliability.  It is skivved down especially for us to midweight leather ideal for all seasons, then we add another process to add an even more supple feel.   Some parts of the hide are more pebbled, while others are smoother...but in general, most hides are smooth.  Please indicate if you have a preference.

Care: Darker colors can be conditioned or cleaned with a shoe wax as well. Lighter colors should be cleaned and conditioned lightly with saddle soap. Be sure to test a small area prior to using.

This leather is from a tannery in the Tuscan region of Italy. They make only 100% Vegetable Tanned leathers and bear the Pelle Conciata al Vegetale in Toscana mark which are the strictest standards in traditional leather tanning and environmental standards. Their labor standards are also certified.

There are inherent variations in natural leathers, handmade manufacturing, and local sourcing.  Color and texture variations can vary within the same hide.  Different monitors can also display colors differently.  You may indicate any preferences in tone or texture in the Notes to Shoemaker section if you are looking for something specific so we can do our best to accomodate.

Our insoles are cut from a thicker vegetable tanned leather than typical shoes to help with breathability and shock absorption. 

The midsole, which serves as the chassis for a shoe, is also made of a vegetable tanned soling leather sourced from the US and Spain (we never use the typical factory cardboard).  The material is also ideal for bacteria and odor prevention and great shock absorption. 

Between the soles is a layer of cork.

Our soles are sourced from a family run sole manufacturer in Portugal in an area reknowned as one of the shoemaking capitals in Europe. Our soles and heels are made of Italian vegetable tanned leather. The heels are stacked leather or wood, no hollow plastic core heels, and rubber slip resistance.  

We manufacture in Europe so have highest standards in glue safety, toulene free.
