Chris Cognac Calf with Half-Rubber Soles - 675

There's a kind of confidence in wearing cognac at all — and more in wearing it on a shoe built to be used. The Chris in cognac, on a half-rubber sole, is exactly that.

One buckle, brogued wingtip, plain clean toe: the monk keeps its character, the sole adds the rest. A leather sole carries a discreet high-density rubber half-sole, so the warm, statement colour rides on grip and longevity instead of caution. The full-grain European calfskin is burnished by hand, the cognac built up tone over tone until it shifts amber to tobacco in the light. Built on the 675 last — almond-toed, roomier — for comfort that outlasts the day. Handcrafted in Spain and Goodyear welted, resoleable and made for the long run.

A colour this warm shouldn't be saved for occasions. On this sole, it isn't. The cognac monk that goes to work — and still turns the head it walks past.
