Bally curling boots men Guard III dark brown suede
The men's version of the Bally curling boot. Made with a Vibram Arctic rubber sole with excellent grip not least on snow. Has the rubber galosch construction which comes up over the shoe, for improved durability and water protection.
The upper is made of a dark brown calf suede, with a warm shearling lining. Also the insole is warm lined. Has a rear zipper to make them easy put on and take off.
Bally was founded all the way back in 1851, and is one of the world's longstanding luxury brands. Production is mainly done in Switzerland - for example the curling boots are still produced in Schönenwerd in the Swiss alps where the company was started - and Italy.

The cemented construction is the most basic construction method for shoes. Here the upper together with midsole / lasting board (as is the case for all our Skolyx shoes made with this construction, where a proper real leather midsole is used) or in simpler cases a fabric sole base is attached to the outsole with only adhesives, no stitching.
Nowadays the cement used is strong and can often last long, but resoling the shoes is usually trickier. Often a cobbler only attach a new wear piece on top of the original outsole, to make the shoes last longer.

Which shoe care products to use:
Before use, go over the shoes gently with a a suede brush followed by Saphir Medaille d'Or Super Invulner to protect from water and dirt. Use Saphir Medaille d'Or Suede Renovator Spray in Dark brown when the colour needs to be improved and to give some nourishment. For more thorough yet gentle cleaning we recommend Saphir Medaille d'Or Omninettoyant suede cleaner. We recommend using cedar wood shoe trees to prevent unnecessary creasing and extend the lifespan of your footwear.
