We created the Akşam to bring the iconic Sabah shape into something more refined – sitting somewhere between a slipper and a loafer. It’s the same silhouette that’s become synonymous with our Turkish production, refined with an exceptionally soft, lightweight construction and designed to go with everything – a suit, a beat-up pair of jeans, fatigue pants, and more. Handcrafted in rich oiled suede, the Akşam has no rigid heel counter, giving it an easy, slipper-like feel from the first wear. A single layer buffalo leather outsole keeps it light and flexible underfoot, finished with a rubber heel pad for added durability. The Akşam, like all of our shoes, should fit snug and glove-like out of the box, and will mold to your feet and break in with just a few wears. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing down. Entirely handmade in Turkey Rich oiled suede, which gives it a very rich and dynamic tone Soft leather lining (no socks, no problem!) Water buffalo leather insole & midsole, forms to feet Flexible, single layer buffalo leather outsole Replaceable rubber heel for added durability Lightweight, packable, perfect for travel! Founded in 2013 by Mickey Ashmore out of his New York City apartment, Sabah’s traditional leather shoes have acquired a cult following for their versatility and comfort.
