Léon express

Léon | Richelieu sewn “reverso”.

The Léon brogue is a refined masculine shoe. Our model was mounted on a round last : “Armand”.

  • Full-grain vegetable-tanned “seacalf” leather, reverso-stitched.
  • Blake under channel.
  • Handmade patina à la carte.
  • Made in France.

 

The bootmaking technique.

The Léon Oxford is a shoe made with the so-called “reverso” sewing technique. The seams are turned inside out and therefore invisible. This dresses the shoe, and gives it a rare visual lightness for a cap-toe Oxford. The beauty of this type of shoe depends on the last on which it is mounted. For this model, we chose the “Armand” last. Round line, but extremely distinguished.

 

Tip: to extend the life of your leather shoes and absorb natural moisture, use raw wood shoe trees. This shoe is resolable.

You would like to give this item as a gift, but you are not sure about the patina, choose the “Gift” option in the color choice.
