Near-black brown behaves like black, and on a dark brown split toe boot the hand-sewn seam gives it what black doesn't have. Closed lacing, a raised split toe seam running up the center of the vamp, in Alcazar leather: a near-black brown calfskin with a distinctive woven-look grain that gives the color depth beside the central seam. Underneath, the Daniel sits on the 357 last, a square chisel-toe with extra room at the ball of the foot. Beneath it sits a Vibram Eton sole: a refined lugged rubber with discreet grip and a low, clean profile. Made by our artisans in a workshop in Almansa, Goodyear welted, one pair at a time.Put it under charcoal, navy, or denim and the split toe seam and the textured leather do the work. A boot with character at the vamp and sure footing below.Quiet, deep, and a line worth following.
