Raffa 03.07

This smooth derby is part of the classic Van Bommel collection. The shoe was made according to the Blake method. The tread has a fine, anti-slip profile. The sole is made of vegetable-tanned leather that is hand-treated with a stylish 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 milled into the top and bottom. The upper leather edge of the shoe has a high-quality finish and narrow black piping. The upper is made of first-class dark brown calf leather. On the side of the shoe, right next to the upper lace hole, the sneaker is embossed with the iconic copper VB logo. The lining is entirely made of high-quality calf leather.
