Description Specifications Size chart

Fully made by hand this Norwegian construction, is characterized by an extremely laborious stitching. Norwegian shoes feature a “twist stitch” going all along the edge of the sole. Such construction, complex and captivating, is chosen by gentlemen looking for structured footwear with an unmatched artisanal allure. It consists of three hand-stitching processes. Needle and thread join the outsole, the insole, the lining and the shoe-upper. The artisan carefully shapes the direction of the stitchings, by slowly defining their pace.

The first stitching tie the upper to the insole, which is the soft soul of the shoe. Later the upper gets reversed and through a second stitching it is joined to the “mid-sole”, which acts as a counterpart of the leather welt used in the Goodyear process. In fact, the mid-sole is stitched together with the outsole in order to create a structured shoe, made to last a very long time.

Here presented in a beautiful handpolished "Oceano" blue shade.
