men's slippers BURLINGTON black patent and red pony

BURLINGTON black patent leather and red pony

• Men's footwear is still well rooted in traditional British patterns and brogues are the most popular type of shoes. The BURLINGTON pays homage with its name to the "Burlington Arcade" in London. This beautiful and elegant arcade is right in the heart of the area devoted to the world's most famous shops catering for men's elegance. Just think Savile Row where you find the top tailors, think Jermyn Street for the top shoe-makers and of course Bond Street for luxury goods and fashion.
   
• Made on our "Jermyn" last (a last is the foot shape around which footwear is made)  which is a contemporary take on the best of traditional slippers. The toe box allows plenty of room for your toes but the tip still achieves to look modern while the heel area gets a pleasant 2cm lift which enables to add extra padding in an innovative shock absorbing compound for dream comfort.
   
• Upper in two leather type combination: patent leather and pony horsehair.  Lining and insole in soft black nappa specifically tanned linings, outsole in black suede.
  This is a very fashion forward version:  elegant and extravagant for the true modern dandy who appreciates unique looks and no compromise quality
  * patent leather is genuine leather but with a superglossy top finish
  * pony is the word traditionally used by the fashion industry for leather which still has its hair on but, to protect horses, its look can be achieved also by using selected calf or bovine hides. This style uses a strict selection of adult bovine hides which have a particularly beautiful yet resistant hair.
   
• The timeless British brogue pattern is transformed in a refreshing yet respectful way paying attention to proportions and all details. The traditional punching with one big hole followed by a couple of two small ones is replaced by just two sizes of perforations which are well spaced apart. This transmits a less baroque look which translates into a more contemporary attitude. 
   
• Handmade in Italy by the finest artisans matching patient traditional construction and careful leather selection with the use of innovative materials to guarantee long lasting natural comfort
   
• Further features: special shock absorbing breathable compound, black bovine suede outsole, etc.
