When developing our range of premium sneakers, we've taken all our shoe knowledge and gone into every detail of the shoes, to get specifications that are absolutely top-notch. Many brands aren't even aware of all the parts of their shoes, how they're made and what materials have been chosen, but all of these parts have a huge impact on both the comfort and durability of the shoes. When one know what can be achieved down to the smallest detail, and work with the right manufacturers, you can go extremely far but still keep the price at a very competitive level.
These sneakers are made exclusively for Skolyx by a factory in Portugal, a new partner for us that has made these sneakers possible. Here a version in navy suede, like all our sneakers they are lined entirely in natural-coloured vegetable-tanned leather.
Below all the details of the shoes:
- High quality calf suede uppers.
- Fully lined in Italian vegetable tanned leather which is kind to the foot and breathes well.
- A thick built-up and cushioned insole, covered with vegetable tanned leather.
- Comfortable padding along the opening and in the tongue.
- Durable and comfortable cup rubber soles.
- Leather board heel stiffeners that moulds nicely to the foot, instead of plastic heel stiffeners which are by far the most common in sneakers.
- Midsole (which is like a base inside the shoe under the removable insole) in more durable leather, instead of being made of a felt cloth or cardboard as in almost all other sneakers.
- Shank in arch of the foot which gives the shoe comfortable stability in the area that is not supposed to bend.
- Made with a sidewall stitched construction, which can be resoled by cobblers with the right equipment.
