FIORENTINA

The side zip is a lifesaver when I'm rushing out the door, and the leather laces stay tied all day. Calf leather creased nicely after a week instead of cracking like my old pair. Genuine leather sole feels solid on wet pavement too.

These broke in after two wears and now feel like they've been mine for years. The calf leather has a nice matte finish, and the lace-up front with the hidden side zip means I get the look without the hassle. Genuine leather sole too, which you can feel when you walk.

The side zip is a lifesaver when I'm rushing out the door in the morning, and the calf leather molded to my feet within a couple of wears. Leather laces feel sturdy too, not the flimsy kind that snap after a month.
