"Slowear" is a conglomerate group that owns brands like Incotex and Zanone. This is a plain-toe shoe in black leather from their directly-managed store, "OFFICINA SLOWEAR." It's a derby (open-laced) plain-toe, with a double-soled leather sole and a Vibram half-rubber sole. The sole attachment is likely double-stitched McKay construction. The simple yet somewhat charming and voluminous form is a perfect match for basic dress-casual styles like Incotex and Montedoro. The design looks like a postman shoe, and I personally suspect it's heavily inspired by Alden's plain-toe, making it an "inspired" piece. *This is just my personal opinion.* The black leather of the upper also has a look reminiscent of cordovan, and although the creasing is different, I think there aren't many shoes with this kind of look, so it's a great choice as a refined casual option. Made in Italy, the factory is unknown, but it's made very carefully and meticulously, so even those who are skeptical of non-shoe-specialty brands will be satisfied with the quality. Calf leather, color is black. The following are included: a presentation box, a cloth drawstring bag, a shoe horn, and spare shoelaces. New, unused, made in Italy, domestic retail price around 90,000 yen. ◇Size◇ Size 41 *A good fit for those around 25.5-26 cm, but it might be better to go a little roomy, considering the thickness of socks. Outsole length: 30 cm, maximum width: 11 cm"
