Bally Romy laceless sneaker light brown suede

A special take on the classic minimalistic sneaker, made by the Swiss luxury giant Bally. Here with elastics instead of regular laces, making them easy to slip in and out off. Upper in a luxurious light brown calf suede, with a Sidewall stitched construction.

Bally was founded all the way back in 1851, and is one of the world's longstanding luxury brands. Parts of their shoe production still takes place in Schönenwerd in the Swiss alps, where the company was started.

On a Sidewall stitched shoe one use so called cup soles, which the upper and lasting board / midsole is placed into, and then with a Sidewall sewing machine one stitch through the outsole into the inside of the upper to keep the sole in place. Can be resoled by a cobbler with the right equipment.

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 Medium 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.
