Augie Type-S Loafer - Espresso Calf

The Augie Type-S combines the comfort of a slipper with the structure and durability of a dress shoe. Fully lined in calfskin with a padded footbed for all-day support.

This model has a hand-sewn vamp stitch and is made up in a finely grained calf skin from Tuscany. At less than a millimeter thick, this leather is soft and supple, and can be carefully brushed to maintain its rich finish, or left alone to develop a timeworn patina. The lightweight, foam midsole is neatly wrapped in a complimentary dark brown calf leather.

Their signature Augie loafers are all built on the Harry Last, which is a classic fit following the natural shape and curves of your feet. It has a carved inside waist to provide improved arch support and a refined silhouette. The toe box is roomy to allow natural movement and a comfortable stride, whilst the vamp is cut closer across the instep to ensure a secure fit and stability within the shoe.

The Material:

Full grain vegetable-tanned calfskin from Conceria Maryam in Tuscany. Fully lined in calf, with a memory foam footbed - the athletic foam midsole is wrapped in calfskin too. Proprietary outsole is made from a highly durable rubber compound.
