Bally curling hiking boots men Calys III dark brown and black
This version of Bally’s curling boot is designed with hiking boot style lacing for a different look to the regular make-up. The interior features a shearling lining for warmth.
The upper combines dark brown and black smooth calf leather. The boots are set on a Vibram Arctic rubber sole for reliable grip, and the extended rubber galosh section adds protection against snow and slush.
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 neutral 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.
