Raffa 06.00

This buckle shoe is part of the classic Van Bommel collection. The shoe has been made using the Blake method. The sole sports a fine anti-slip tread. The sole is made of vegetable-tanned leather that is hand-treated with a stylish blue finish. The heel is divided into two sections by an elegant dovetail joint. The part that gets the most wear when walking is made of durable rubber, while the adjacent part is made of the same vegetable-tanned leather as the midsole. The heel is slightly sanded to prevent it from getting caught on the hem of the trousers. On the side of the sole edge, two very fine notches have been carved into the top and bottom. The upper edge of the suede shoe and the buckle edge are finished with thin black piping. The upper is made of premium calf leather that comes from an Italian tannery in Chiampo, Vicenza. In the production plant, the leather is polished to colour using various cloths and sponges. On the side of the shoe, right next to the buckle, the shoe is embossed with the iconic copper VB logo. The lining is entirely made of high-quality calf leather.
