Van Bommel 30088 Raffa lace-up shoe in light brown. This H-width oxford model with a straight toe cap is part of the classic Van Bommel collection. The shoe is made using the Blake construction method. The sole has a fine, non-slip tread. The sole's heel is made of vegetable-tanned leather with a stylish hand-finished finish. The heel is divided into two sections by a decorative dovetail joint. The part that bears the most wear while walking is made of durable rubber, while the adjacent part is made of the same vegetable-tanned leather as the heel. To prevent your heel from catching on the hem of your trousers, the inside of the heel has been sanded down. Two very fine hair edges have been milled into the side of the sole's edge, both at the top and bottom. The leather upper edge of the shoe is finished to a high standard with a thin welt. On the side of the shoe, the iconic copper "VB" is stamped into the leather near the top eyelet. The lining is made entirely of high-quality calf leather. This shoe is crafted from beautiful, classic, light brown suede from a tannery in Castelfranco di Sotto, in the Pisa region of Italy. The suede has a short, shaved fiber and a luxurious writing effect.
Floris about this item
With the rise of the sneaker as a casual shoe, the shoe world and shoe design gained momentum. Or so you might think. In our archives, we have thick design books from our modelers dating back to the early 20th century. Each book contains hundreds of design drawings for classic shoes. In the classic segment back then, there was almost as much variation and experimentation as there is now in sneakers. However, the range of variation was smaller, so more attention was paid to minimal details. With the rise of the Floris van Bommel brand, our Van Bommel brand had the opportunity to return to the pure essence of a classic collection. Since then, we've been meticulously and lovingly curating which styles do and don't fit within the classic Van Bommel spirit. Far more than with a pair of trendy sneakers, every detail is crucial. The curve of the last, the stitching on the edge of the sole, the sheen of the leather, the feel of the calf lining—mindful differences make or break a shoe. The Van Bommel collection is a timeless extract from the nearly three centuries that our company has been making shoes. Should you decide to buy a pair, savor the craftsmanship.
