Collection: Italian Ox-reverse Suede
We use ox-reverse suede on our shoes and boots. This is the best suede available. The full thickness of the leather is used, and as the name suggests, the leather is specially finished and reversed so the smooth side is inside the boot, and the rough side is finished as the suede side.
Most suede's are made by splitting the leather, using the smooth side for smooth leather shoes, and the leftover split is turned into suede, sometimes with a resin backer which limits breathability.
By using ox-reverse suede for our footwear, the natural qualities of the leather are maintained with full breathability, suppleness, and durability.
Any of our styles can be made in Black, Brown, Sand, and Navy suede.
