A Classic Reborn: The Made in Italy Blucher with Kiltie
Remember those dapper '50s and '60s Bluchers? They were like a sophisticated upgrade to the boat shoe, sleek and dressy. Now, picture that iconic style, handcrafted in Italy with Yuki's signature attention to detail. We're talking next-level good looks and comfort.
Luxurious Leather, Inside and Out
The uppers are a masterpiece, meticulously crafted from silky, full-grain, flesh-out leather. Opera Leather has specialized in crafting exquisite flesh-out leather and suede since the 1970s. The leather is described as 'flesh-out' because it is full-grain leather that is expertly reversed so that the supple flesh side of the hide faces outward.
The advantages of using full-grain, flesh-out leather instead of split suede leathers are twofold. First, full-grain leathers retain their inherent structure, thickness, and durability for long-lasting strength. Second, the smooth grain side of the leather feels incredibly soft and comfortable against the skin, eliminating the need for additional liners. In this way, the wearer enjoys the superior benefits of full-grain leather and the pleasing, suede-like aesthetic of the napped, flesh side of the leather.
Genuine Moccasin Construction
Imagine slipping your foot into a thick, comfy leather sock. That's what our Genuine Moccasin Construction feels like. We use even more leather than usual, wrapping your foot completely for a snug, cozy fit.
Cushioned Comfort, All Day Long
Our insole is like a mini-mattress for your feet: full vegetable-tanned leather, a leather tuck with shank, memory foam, and arch cushion. It's all about support, reducing fatigue, and molding to your foot for a custom fit.
Details That Delight
Check out the removable kiltie, the decorative pinking, the sleek metal eyelets, and the strong kudu leather laces. These little touches make the Made in Italy Blucher extra special.
Natural Crepe Sole: Like Walking on Clouds
This isn't your average sole. It's a double layer of natural crepe, inspired by classic running shoes. Think: superb shock absorption, a soft tread, and slip-resistant grip. Plus, it's easy to resole, so these shoes are built to last.
Experience the Art of Footwear
