Black Cap Toe Oxford with Rubber Half Soles

The Richard is a black cap-toe Oxford in Weinheimer calfskin, here on a sole built for the days that don't stay in the office. Full-grain calfskin from the Weinheimer tannery, closed lacing, one clean seam across the toe, on the generous City last. Goodyear welted by hand in a workshop in Almansa. Beneath the leather sits a discreet high-density rubber half-sole: the clean formal profile of the Weinheimer black stays intact while you gain grip on wet ground and a sole that outlasts the purely leather version.

The formal shoe made for real movement — works as well at the end of a long day as at the start of it. The Weinheimer leather and the cap toe read exactly as they should from above; the rubber handles everything below.

The correct formal shoe, made ready for the commute.
