Crimson Plain Toe - 3 Months。A classic in excellent condition! The shoes present as if almost new, as the photos will attest. Have only been worn on 3-4 occasions. Size is 8.5E. The Plain Toe Blucher embodies the perfect smart-casual footwear. Bluchers feature an open-lacing system with a single-piece, one-cut vamp. These two features separate bluchers from Oxfords, which have a closed-lacing system, and Derbies, which have quarter-panels attached to the vamp. These differences produce a sleek and stylish pair of Goodyear-welted shoes that are easily wearable at work or on a night out. The result of a complex, 28-day tanning process, Horween’s Chromexcel is a highly durable and supple, combination-tanned leather hot-stuffed with natural oils and waxes. The Chicago-based tannery has been producing Chromexcel since 1913. It is prized for its soft hand-feel, strong pull-up, and ability to develop a unique patina over years of wear.
