Van Bommel 30002 boat shoe for men in H width (wide) in dark blue. This is the classic Van Bommel boat shoe in H width. This H width is best suited to a foot that is slightly wider than average.
This exact model has been part of the Van Bommel collection unchanged for decades. This boat shoe is made using the authentic moccasin construction method. The stitching on the forefoot is applied by hand, with needle and thread. In moccasin construction, the upper leather runs underneath the foot like a sock. For this reason, moccasins do not use a midsole, which has a positive effect on the flexibility of the construction. A moccasin-made boat shoe exudes authenticity and craftsmanship that cannot be compared with a glued or Blake-stitched boat shoe. This version features dark blue nubuck on the front section and classic cognac pull-up leather on the heel and lace panel. This leather gets its name from the fact that when pressure is applied to it, it lightens slightly. The lining is made from high-quality calf leather. The removable footbed can, if necessary, be replaced with your own footbed or insole.
Floris van Bommel on the boat shoe:
“With the rise of the sneaker as a leisure shoe, the world of footwear and shoe design accelerated rapidly. Or at least... that’s what you might think. In our archives, we have thick design books from our pattern makers dating back to the beginning of the last century. Each book contains hundreds of design sketches for classic shoes. In the classic segment at that time, there was almost as much variation and experimentation as there is today with sneakers. The scope for variation was simply smaller, so more attention was paid to minimal details. With the emergence of the ‘Floris van Bommel’ brand, our ‘Van Bommel’ brand gained room to return to the pure essence of a classic collection. Since then, we have curated, very critically and with great care, which styles do and do not fit within the classic ‘Van Bommel’ range. Much more than with a pair of trendy sneakers, every detail is decisive here. The curve of the last, the size of the stitching on the sole edge, the degree of shine of the leather, the feel of the calfskin lining—minute differences can make or break the shoe. The ‘Van Bommel’ collection is a timeless extract of the almost three centuries during which our company has been making shoes. Should you decide to purchase a pair, enjoy the craftsmanship!”
