Leather Outsole, Extra Large Size, 4.5mm Thickness

Native European Steer/Young Bull Cutsoles (Croupon) slowly Veg-tanned with a mix of our secret antique recipe including Oak, Chesnut, Mimosa, and Quebracho tannin extracts.

Vegetable-tanning is the truly traditional way of tanning a hide.  Veg-tanning has always been the old-worlds inalienable material for decades.  This artisanal process takes advantage of several tannic acids naturally found in plants, by using the tree barks, branches, and leaves.  Its natural appearance has a slightly beige color coming from the plant extracts, which changes to a caramel tone with a natural patina over time.  It has the most beautiful smell of nature such as wood and earth.
