Cuero Finley Mules

Full-grain leather upper, vegetable-tanned in yellow-tan and croco-embossed under heat. The pattern is pressed into the leather, not printed on top. Hand-welted construction with a stitched leather sole and a stacked leather heel. Padded leather insole. The open-heel mule is reinforced with a leather counter that holds shape — most mules collapse at the heel within a year; this one doesn't. Built in our Pune workshop. Mules require careful work at the lasting stage — the foot has to be held without a heel cup.

Care Brush after wear with a soft horsehair brush, working into the croco pattern. Condition every two months with a neutral leather cream — vegetable-tanned tan leather drinks conditioner. The exposed heel of the footbed should be wiped with a slightly damp cloth more often than a closed shoe. Use shoe trees overnight. The yellow-tan will deepen significantly with wear; this is intended. Delivery Made to order. Twenty-five days from confirmation to dispatch. Free shipping across India.
