Casual Lace Up

These cute little ‘U Front’ casuals were commissioned to combine different upper colours. Crafted from smooth and silky 'warm beige' Italian veal, hand punched fine Red glacé kid vamp panels, and burgundy rolled grain elongated heel counters. Delicately accented with contrasting top lace panel details and subtle colour contrasts within the layered wedge heels and finished with a caramel everyday sole. Wedge-shaped soles and heels provide essential strength and support to the mid-foot, enhancing the wearer's sense of stability and security. The combination of the uppers and soles provides a retro style that is versatile, practical and comfortable. The shapes and patterning are suitable for various foot conditions and the offer of multiple colour combinations and textures is endless.

Specialist design features

These shoes have been specifically designed for a client with Morton’s neuroma, a painful condition affecting the ball of the foot, typically between the third and fourth toes. The firm leather insoles with sculpted arch supports can be further customised with soft metatarsal pads if necessary, to assist in redistributing pressure away from the compressed nerve. Additionally, the wedge-shaped soles and heels provide essential strength and support to the mid-foot, enhancing stability and security.
