Key Features

100% Genuine Oil Wax Horsehide Leather Upper

The upper is crafted from 100% authentic horsehide leather finished with an oil wax treatment — a process that infuses natural oils and waxes into the dense equine hide during finishing, producing a subtly lustrous surface with warm tonal depth and natural variation. The oil wax finish gives each pair a lived-in, characterful appearance from new that deepens beautifully with regular wear. Horsehide’s superior density and tight grain structure provide exceptional durability and abrasion resistance beyond standard cowhide.

Height-Increasing Construction (3–5 cm)

A medium height-increasing heel construction delivers a 3–5 cm lift — adding meaningful, confident stature with a natural, comfortable stride that doesn’t betray the elevation. The thick platform profile distributes the height increase across both heel and platform for a stable, balanced everyday carry.

Distinctive Colour-Accented Platform Sole

Each colorway features a unique platform sole personality:

• Brown — cream/off-white platform with a bold yellow accent stripe
• Black — all-black platform with a deep red accent stripe
• White — cream platform with a natural gum/tan rubber outsole

The colour stripe detail is a deliberate design statement that adds fashion-forward character consistent with the contemporary dad shoe aesthetic.

Brogue-Inspired Toe Perforation & Sewing Line Detail

Subtle brogue-style perforations along the toe seam and decorative sewing line detailing across the upper panels add heritage craftsmanship character — bridging leather dress shoe tradition and casual athletic design in a single thoughtful detail.

Full-Grain Leather Insole with Massage Function

A premium full-grain cowhide leather insole provides firm, breathable underfoot support with a massage function for extended wear comfort — gradually moulding to the wearer’s foot shape over time for a personalised fit that improves with every wear.

Genuine Leather Lining

The full interior lining is genuine leather — breathable, temperature-regulating, and consistent with the premium horsehide exterior standard throughout the shoe.

Rubber Outsole with Serrated Tread

A thick rubber outsole with a fine serrated/ripple tread pattern delivers reliable grip across urban and casual outdoor surfaces — lightweight and durable across spring, summer, and autumn conditions.

Retro Dad Shoe Silhouette

The layered panel construction, thick platform sole, and round toe combine to create the bold, chunky dad shoe silhouette that has become a defining aesthetic of contemporary casual menswear — elevated here by the rare quality of genuine horsehide leather.

Styling Guide

The oil wax horsehide upper and colour-accented platform sole of these Men’s Casual Shoes make them one of the most distinctive everyday options in the Men’s Dress Shoes collection.

• Brown with Yellow Sole — the warmest colorway; pairs with slim chinos, raw denim, or olive cargo trousers — the yellow stripe adds a bright accent consistent with heritage athletic and workwear styling
• Black with Red Sole — the boldest combination; pairs with all-black or dark monochrome outfits where the red stripe provides the only colour — sharp, intentional, and fashion-forward
• White with Gum Sole — the cleanest and most versatile option; pairs with light denim, cream or white trousers, and minimal spring or summer outfits for an effortless fresh aesthetic
• The thick platform sole creates natural contrast against dark trouser cuts — crop or roll the hem to showcase the platform profile and accent stripe detail
• Complement with a leather accessory from our Men’s Belts or Men’s Wallets collections

Care Guide

1. Wipe Down After Wear: Use a soft dry cloth to remove surface dust — wipe gently in the direction of the grain
2. Condition with Horsehide/Oil Wax Products: Apply a quality horsehide conditioner or oil wax leather balm every 4–6 weeks — the oil wax finish responds exceptionally well to conditioning, deepening in warmth and surface character
3. Polish to Maintain: Use a matching color leather cream to restore surface depth and add protection — oil wax horsehide develops its best character under regular hand care
4. Maintain the Sole Accent: Wipe the rubber platform and colour stripe with a damp cloth periodically — for the White colorway, a soft brush with mild soap maintains the cream platform finish
5. Dry Naturally: If wet, allow to air-dry at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight
6. Use Shoe Trees: Insert cedar shoe trees after each wear to maintain the round toe shape and absorb interior moisture
7. Care for White Colorway: The White horsehide benefits from prompt wiping after each wear and a neutral leather conditioner applied regularly — a leather eraser handles most surface scuffs effectively

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the upper genuine horsehide leather? Yes. The upper is 100% genuine horsehide leather with an oil wax finish — a premium exotic hide distinct from cowhide or synthetic alternatives.

2. What is oil wax horsehide leather? Oil wax horsehide is genuine equine leather treated with natural oils and waxes during finishing — producing a subtly lustrous surface with warm tonal depth and natural variation. The oil wax treatment enhances the leather’s natural density and develops a rich, layered patina with regular wear.

3. How much height do these sneakers add? The height-increasing platform construction delivers a medium 3–5 cm lift — comfortable, stable, and proportionate without the visible elevation of standard elevator shoes.

4. What makes each colorway’s sole different? Brown features a cream/off-white platform with a yellow accent stripe; Black has an all-black platform with a red accent stripe; White has a cream platform with a natural gum/tan rubber outsole — each a distinct sole personality designed to complement its upper colorway.

5. Are these sneakers true to size? Yes. Order your standard EU size from the EU 37–45 range. For wider feet or if between sizes, sizing up half a size is recommended.

6. What sizes are available? EU 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, and 45.

7. Are these suitable for sports use? These sneakers are designed for casual everyday and urban outdoor wear rather than athletic performance. The rubber outsole and comfortable platform provide practical everyday wearability — not engineered for sport-specific activities.

8. How does horsehide age compared to cowhide? Horsehide’s tighter grain structure distributes surface oils more evenly during aging — producing a denser, more layered patina with greater depth than cowhide over equivalent wear time. The oil wax finish amplifies this effect from the very first wear.

9. Is the lining genuine leather? Yes. The full interior lining is genuine leather — breathable and temperature-regulating for comfortable extended everyday wear.

10. How do I care for the White colorway? Wipe the smooth white horsehide upper promptly after each wear with a clean dry cloth. Apply a neutral leather conditioner regularly. A leather eraser handles most scuffs effectively — the White colorway benefits most from consistent preventative care and prompt stain treatment.
