Skolyx Premium sneaker in black leather

A fully black minimalistic sneaker, which is made in a chrome free full grain calfskin and lined entirely in natural coloured vegetable tanned leather. Our premium sneakers are perhaps the best bang-for-the-buck-sneakers you can get your hands on in the world. Since we launched them last year, they've received a huge amount of praise from our customers (see the reviews here on the site, for example), both for the comfort, the materials and the excellent build quality.

Together with a factory in Portugal, we have gone through all the parts of the shoes, and managed to achieve top class specifications yet keeping the price very competitive.

Below all the details of the shoes:
- High quality chrome free full grain calf leather uppers.
- Fully lined in Italian vegetable tanned leather which is kind to the foot and breathes well.
- A thick built-up and cushioned insole, covered with vegetable tanned leather.
- Comfortable padding along the opening and in the tongue.
- Durable and comfortable cup 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 removable insole) in more durable 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.
- Made with a sidewall stitched construction, which can be resoled by cobblers with the right equipment.

Take care of your sneakers with high-quality sneaker care products, here you find the full range that we offer. It's also recommended to use shoe trees in cedar wood in your leather sneakers, it helps them retain their shape and dry properly. More info on shoe care in the tab below.

Our sneakers are normal in size, comparable to most other sneakers. More info on sizes in the tab below.

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.
