Massimo Brogue Derby Shoe for Men in Dark Brown Leather

A derby with full brogue detailing in vegetable-tanned leather, hand-dyed a deep brown. The toe is a wingtip closed by a perforated medallion, and the punching follows every edge of the upper. It is the most elaborate detailing in the collection, and on this shade it stops being ornament and becomes structure: it reads as an engraved pattern rather than an applied decoration. Here the hand-dyeing works in depth rather than in range. The burnishing stays even and dense, and the surface never sits flat the way machine-dyed leather does. The lacing is open, with five pairs of eyelets: the quarters stay free to spread and the fit adjusts precisely, even over a high instep. Underfoot, a thick lugged rubber sole stamped with the Leonardo mark, dyed to match the upper. The lining is natural leather; the construction is Blake rapid with visible perimeter stitching. The most versatile of the three: dark enough for wool trousers, sturdy enough for heavy denim.
