A journey of a thousand miles, begins with an absolutely fabulous pair of shoes .. We totally agree!!
From the most plain and simple shoes cut from a single piece of smooth leather, to intricately detailed shoes featuring fancy stitching, perforations, and edging, a man’s got a lot of options when it comes to dress shoes. The variety can really be a bit overwhelming, especially when it comes to knowing which is which and what shoes to wear with what get-ups.
For today’s editorial, we’re of course discussing a 313eko special, and it’s shoes this time, modified derby shoes!
Whenever you picture a dress shoe, chances are you picture a relatively simple derby. Derby shoes, unlike oxfords, have the lacing flaps sewn directly to the upper of the shoe, and are unrestrained by any sort of line of stitching across the tops of them. This is called open lacing, and this interruption in the silhouette makes them a little less sleek, and therefore, less dressy.
These shoes have a twist to them, more artistic, in that also unlike the normal derby shoes made of plain or patent leather, this is made of snake skin leather, and that’s what makes it amazing!!
Also, the cap portion of the shoes have a unique demarcation right at the center, made by a little vertical bulge of the same leather material, which gives it an even more unique edge.
Remember our last editorial guys, where this outfit was styled with the leather sandals, this is the same exact outfit, now with shoes, also made 313eko, so when we have a “VERSATILITY” watchword, we actually mean it!
Let’s be honest guys, Shoes are expensive. The cost of production is higher. You will buy fewer than you do clothes. So invest in pairs that keep feet protected from weather, free of blisters and which you can rotate through at least a handful of outfits and this pair is a perfect example .. just like many other pairs we create at 313eko
Thank you for reading guys 😊 .. I’m certain we’ve learned a thing or two about shoes today! Come back again, and you’ll learn even more 😉 .. Have a wonderful day
