We have just received two new additions to our own range of shoes, Goodyear welted on Mallorca exclusively for Skolyx. Firstly, one of our best sellers in a new leather option, our longwing derby now in a really nice dark brown suede from the Italian tannery Sciarada. Made on the Ben last with a round toe box. The shoe has a double rubber sole and storm welt to resist moisture even better, and as most people hopefully know by now, suede is definitely not a delicate material, but really durable against both moisture and other things, as long as a good waterproofing spray is used.

Then a brogued cap toe oxford in lovely warm suede polo. A classic shoe with a slightly lower level of formality than the completely clean cap toe due to the brogue pattern at the toe seam, and of course a further notch down on the formality scale with the suede.
