This handcrafted, double-stitched full-brogue Derby in mocha represents a true icon among classic men’s shoes. Featuring open three-eyelet lacing and widely known as a ‘Budapester’, this special shoe model is highly popular around the world. Thanks to the special last from which it is made, it boasts a roomy overall width.
This Budapester is not only distinguished by the lovely perforation on the upper; it also boasts a hand-stitched braided welt and double-stitched assembly. The lovely perforated pattern on its upper hearkens back to the long-ago rural inhabitants of Ireland and Scotland, who first punched these holes into their softened shoes so that they could dry out more quickly after treks through the swampy highlands. Over time, this perforation came to serve a purely decorative purpose, and lends footwear such as these Budapester men’s shoes a dynamic look.
Incidentally, the shaft of this shoe has been made from waxed nubuck that has been treated to make it water-repellent. This material is also highly durable. Last but not least, a robust rubber lug sole elevates wearing comfort.
Without Haste. Slow Fashion.
Today, as 140 years ago, only around 25 pairs of shoes are made each day. 300 work steps completed by hand and the finest materials, selected according to the principle that a premium shoe is made from premium components, define the difference between expensive and valuable.
Crafted by a master. Worn by an Expert.
