The upper combines two materials - shoes The head is made of soft leather, while the upper and the back are made of suede. It can be seen that the two materials are connected by the details of the envelope lacing. It continues the Tod's design tradition and uses The classic sailing shoe rubber sole; its invisible stitching is almost imperceptible, highlighting the soft texture of the shoe, and the interior is made of breathable holes for a relaxed and comfortable wearing experience.
