This design, derived from traditional Japanese footwear, requires a specific anatomical last to maintain the leather's tension over the cleft. The upper is cut from a dense yet pliable calfskin that responds to the foot's natural movement. A collapsible heel construction allows the back counter to fold flat without compromising the leather's grain, transitioning the silhouette from a structured loafer to a relaxed mule. Key Features Split-Toe Design: The signature Tabi silhouette inspired by 15th-century Japanese socks. Supple Calfskin: High-quality leather that develops a unique character and comfort over time. Collapsible Heel: Versatile construction allowing for wear as a standard loafer or a slip-on mule. Penny Strap: Classic loafer detailing that grounds the avant-garde shape in traditional menswear. Leather Sole: Durable construction with a refined profile suitable for formal and casual settings. White Stitch: Minimalist branding at the heel, a subtle hallmark of the Maison. Curation & Pairings The distinct profile of the split toe benefits from the volume provided by Wide Leg Trousers. The interaction between the pooling fabric and the structured calfskin creates a balanced weight at the hem. For a cohesive silhouette, a Structured Blazer aligns with the clean lines of the penny strap and leather sole. Sizing & Measurements True to size Materials & Care Made by Italian Calf Leather & Rubber. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Air dry naturally. Condition leather regularly.
