Van Bommel Raffa 30020 men's buckle shoe in dark brown, H-width (wide). This smooth-bladed derby model is part of the classic Van Bommel collection. The shoe is made using the Blake construction method. The tread of the sole has a fine, non-slip profile. 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 on both the top and bottom. The leather upper of the shoe is finished to a high standard with a thin black welt. The upper is made of premium black calf leather. On the side of the shoe, the iconic copper "VB" is stamped into the leather by the top eyelet. 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 at least... so you would think. In our archives, we have hefty design books from our modelers from the early 20th century. Each book contains hundreds of design drawings for classic shoes. In the classic segment at that time, there was almost as much variation and experimentation as there is now with sneakers. The range of variation was simply smaller, so more attention was paid to minimal details. With the rise of the "Floris van Bommel" brand, there was opportunity for our "Van Bommel" brand 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. Much more than with a pair of trendy sneakers, every detail is crucial. The curve of the last, the size of 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.
