New entry of the series of posts focused on the importance within the manufacturing process of working with quality leathers to create designer shoes. In this fourth post we will talk about another type of leather, split leather.

This type of leather has its origin in the internal part of the cowhide, having a greater thickness than suede. This leather requires a water-repellent treatment in order to protect it from water.

It is a leather that offers a highly appreciated appearance aesthetically in different types of shoes.

Available in different colours and tonalities, any choice is always an interesting proposal, resulting in designer shoes with great personality.

As examples, we have selected two models of moccasins that are made with split leather, both from our Sibaritas collection.

The first model corresponds to one of our classic moccasins, always essential for any occasion. They never go out of fashion for their simplicity, and they are perfect as they match any style. Their great comfort is key and for this they have a flexible, non-slip and resistant sole, resistant to any surface.

Our second proposal of moccasins is this kiowa-style model with a mask. This is a big classic, which has a great style and comfort to be worn by the most demanding feet. They are made of a top-quality split leather and they incorporate a breathable leather inner lining. Available in basic colours, it is a very combinable shoe that undoubtedly brings the special touch of a well-made shoe.

Like all our shoes, these moccasins are designed and handcrafted in Spain, with top-quality materials.

We invite you to discover our proposals in our online store, where our size’s guide is available for you to choose the perfect number.
