CORTONA

The suede has this soft, almost velvety feel that I wasn't expecting from a black shoe. I wore them to a gallery opening and they were comfortable the whole evening, no break-in needed.

I wore these to a gallery opening and got three compliments before I even sat down. The hand-threading along the side is subtle but you can tell someone actually did it by hand, not a machine. The sabot shape runs a touch narrow, so size up if you're between.

The hand-threading along the side is genuinely pretty, you can tell someone did it by hand. Suede scuffs a bit easier than I'd like though, so I save these for nicer occasions rather than daily wear.
