Yanko plain cap toe balmoral oxford brown mix
This model is a balmoral oxford with the horisontal seam along the side. All our shoes final finish is made by hand, but on this model the finish is made in a special way to create the subtle and eye-catching depth. Feel free to take a closer look at the different pictures we have provided to try to show the unique finish. Since the finish is made by hand every pair is different and the mixed colouring can be a bit different from pair to pair.

Learn all about the Goodyear welted shoe construction in this guide.
Below an image that gives an overview of the construction:
All shoes have leather board heel stiffeners (cheaper brands usually use harder plastic heel stiffeners) which adapt to your feet are used for all our shoes, except TLB Mallorca Artista and Midas which have real leather heel stiffeners, which can conform even better.
Leather:
All Goodyear welted shoes we offer use smooth full grain calf leather, quality embossed calf grain leather or fine calf suede from well-renowned European or American tanneries. Most of the leathers are sourced from Annonay, Du Puy, Ilcea, Zonta, Charles F. Stead or Horween.
Sole:
There are three different types of soles used for the Goodyear welted shoes we sell (under the tab Product details and on the photos you see which are used for respective model).
Leather sole - High quality, durable Super Prime soles vegetable tanned in Italy with among other things chestnut bark. Here the sole stitch is hidden inside a closed channel, a more time consuming operation that gives a cleaner look.
Thin rubber sole - A so-called city rubber sole with a slim profile just like a leather sole, with a rubber composition that offers good grip and excellent durability.
Rubber sole - In most cases these are Vibram's praised Eton studded rubber soles, which has a rubber compound that also can handle minus degrees, are comfortable yet highly durable.
