Van Bommel Raffa 30118 smart lace-up shoe for men in H-width (wide) in the color dark blue. This oxford model with straight toe cap is part of the classic Van Bommel collection. The shoe is made according to the Blake manufacturing method. The tread of the sole has a fine anti-slip profile. The heel of the sole is made of vegetable-tanned leather that has been given a stylish finish by hand. The heel is divided into two parts by a decorative dovetail joint. The part that is most stressed while walking is made of wear-resistant rubber, the adjacent part is made of the same vegetable-tanned leather as the heel. To prevent your heel from getting caught in the hem of your pants, the tip of the heel that is on the inside has been sanded down. Two very fine hair edges have been milled into the side of the sole edge on the top and bottom. The leather upper edge of the shoe is high-quality finished with a thin black piping. The upper is made of first-class dark blue suede. The iconic copper "VB" is stamped into the leather on the side of the shoe, near the top eyelet. The lining is made entirely of high-quality calf leather.
Floris van Bommel about this item
With the rise of the sneaker as a casual shoe, the shoe world and shoe design really took off. 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 variety and experimentation as there is now in 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, our Van Bommel brand had the opportunity to return to the pure essence of a classic collection. Since then, we've been curating with great care and attention to 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 stitching on the edge of the sole, the sheen of the leather, the feel… From the calf lining, minute details 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, enjoy the craftsmanship.
