Ernest in Espresso Calfskin
A seasonless essential that can move between urban and outdoor landscapes, this is a classic caged fisherman style, constructed in smooth calfskin and so named with a nod to Hemingway’s Old Man and The Sea. Pair it with a billowy dress or tailored separates.
Please note that these shoes are made from vachetta, a vegetable-tanned calfskin leather and they will need to be broken in on most feet. Over time this high-quality leather will change its shape and mold to your foot for optimal comfort.
There may be a small amount of extra room at the front of these shoes. This is an intentional design element that creates a modern, elongated toe shape.
