The Catu is inspired by both European and Asian historic illustrations and most recently, the classic Spanish menorquina from the beautiful Balearic islands has made this a warm weather staple. A slight open toe to allow an airiness while being decidedly unfussy. This style features a removeable insert. The foam layer can be removed/replaced for a wider fitting shoe (we suggest to glue down the leather layer). Our new method of shoemaking has a double layer stitched back seam to provide heel structure without gripping the ankle. Made with our own olive leaf tanned cow leather from the Northern Spain. These shoes are hand cut and hand dyed, so variations are usual and we believe add to the uniqueness of a handmade shoe. To see The Catu in other leathers, see here
