This work has,NEGRONIdesigned bya "driving sole tailored for dress soles."designed byNEGRONIThe 22mm heel height allows the sole to be worn with business slacks or a dressy set-up, not to mention a casual driver's style. The 22mm heel height can be worn with business slacks, dressy setups, as well as casual driver's style. The outsole is made of a special material produced exclusively at the Vibram factory in Italy.Ultra lightweightVibram Gumlite, which is made exclusively at the Vibram factory in Italy, is used for the outsole,The fine foam on the surface of the sole provides the perfect balance of grip when walking and driving.The welt line (the part of the shoe that protrudes from the sole) is finished to minimize the clearance with the toe shape so that it does not interfere with pedal operation. In addition, the toe shape is designed to allow for the forward/backward pivoting motion when the heel is up, which is essential in the driving position, The heel shape is tapered at 80° to allow the heel to pivot back and forth and to the left and right when the heel is upright, which is essential in the driving position. Viewed from the side, it looks thick like a double sole,The actual sole part that touches the ground is very thin, approximately 6mm.The actual sole part that touches the accelerator pedal is very thin, only about 6 mm, and can feel the accelerator pedal very delicately. This is due to the special manufacturing method of three-dimensional leather welt,The visual effect of hiding the volume of the wooden form inside the soleThis is a visual effect that hides the volume of the wooden form inside the sole. This maintains the beautiful exterior of the dress shoe, like the leather sole, while not losing functionality and a rich fit,NEGRONIThis is a unique mechanism. The Fit Concept The unique fit of being wrapped in this single piece of leather can only be experienced with "TOURER".The basic structure is very similar to that of the QUATTRO, which is also a chukker boot model.Layered lining construction of ultra-suede ®︎ and lining leatherThe latest model of the ultra-suede and the layered lining construction of the lining leather are used to pursue the rich comfort that only chukka boots can offer to the utmost limit. The design of the wooden pattern is based on the Grand Prix High Top andSPEARHEADThe size feeling is the same as these models (GRS wooden pattern) because the same sole gauge (bottom dimension) is used as in the Grand Prix High Top and the GRS wooden pattern. The concept of the S-curve, which captures the entire foot three-dimensionally, is followed in this wooden pattern as well, so you can feel a high-quality fit as if you were wearing a custom-made shoe. In contrast to the seemingly sharp appearance,The toes are thick enough to provide space for the toes to move.to provide space for fingertip movement.Instead of the tight, rigid fit that is common in general dress shoes, the actual insertion of the foot creates a comfortable space that is unimaginable from the exterior. 　 The chukka boot's unique fit, which stops at the instep, is very compatible with driving, making it ideal for cruising around town or light sports driving.
