Toe shape: Almond · Fit: Roomy · Sizing: True to size
The shoe reads balanced, clean, and classically European. The almond toe is generous — there is real volume in the toe box, well-formed and slightly domed — but it resolves into an elegant roundness that never becomes aggressive or pointed.
Compared to the 722, the 675 has more body: the foot breathes, the toes settle with natural ease. Compared to a round-toe last, it still has definition — the toe has its own character. The result is a shoe that looks serious without effort, with harmonious proportions that work with a suit, chinos, or even dark denim.
The English last in its most balanced form: presence without drama, elegance without posturing.
Two buckles, no laces.
A double monk strap closes with a pair of straps drawn across the vamp, which makes it the most confident shoe in a formal wardrobe — the one that gets noticed without doing anything loud. Monastic in origin, it kept the closed, protective front of a dress shoe and dropped the lacing entirely.
Under a suit it sharpens the whole outfit; with flannel or dark denim it does the work of three other shoes.
Ours is the Francis, Goodyear welted and built across several lasts, from the soft-square Louvre to the chisel-toed 722.
A leather sole is the dressiest way to finish a shoe, and the reason a good pair reads as a good pair from across the room. It is thin where a rubber sole is thick, so the shoe keeps the line the last gave it instead of adding bulk under the foot.
Leather breathes, takes the shape of the way you walk within a few wears, and can be replaced when it finally goes — this is a sole built to be renewed, not discarded.
It is quieter on a hard floor than anything else we make, and it is the sole to choose when the occasion is formal and the day is dry.
