Skolyx Premium runners white and light grey

A stylish version of trainers, inspired by old classic runners from the 70s, such as the Brooks Vanguard and similar models. With their streamlined silhouette, minimalistic pattern and clean sole, it's undoubtedly a timeless type of shoe. Made from chrome free full grain calf leather and light grey calf suede, with a vegetable tanned leather interior.

The same high-end spec as the other shoes in our line of premium trainers and sneakers. Together with a small factory in Portugal, we've gone through every part of the shoes, achieving absolute top class specifications while managing to keep the price at a very competitive level.

Below all the details of the shoes:
- Chrome free calf leather and high quality calf suede uppers.
- Fully lined in vegetable tanned Italian leather which is kind to the foot and breathes well.
- A thicker built-up and cushioned insole, covered with vegetable tanned leather.
- Comfortable padding along the opening and in the tongue.
- Durable and comfortable rubber soles.
- Leather board heel stiffeners that moulds nicely to the foot, instead of plastic heel stiffeners which are by far the most common in sneakers.
- Midsole (which is like a base inside the shoe under the loose insole) in real leather, instead of being made of a felt cloth or cardboard as in almost all other sneakers. 
- Shank in arch of the foot which gives the shoe comfortable stability in the area that is not supposed to bend.

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.
