Van Bommel Raffa 30146 men's buckle shoe in dark brown, H-width (wide). This buckle model 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, hand-finished with a stylish blue 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 suede upper edge of the shoe and the perimeter of the buckle panel are finished with a thin black piping. The dark brown suede comes from a tannery specializing in suede in Fucecchio, Florence, Italy. The iconic copper "VB" is stamped into the leather on the side of the shoe, next to the buckle. The lining is made entirely of high-quality calf leather.
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'd think. In our archives, we have hefty 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" style. 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 culmination of the nearly three centuries that our company has been making shoes. Should you decide to buy a pair, savor the craftsmanship.
