Men's Barefoot Leather Oxford — Raven Black

A lace-up with the manners of a dress shoe and the anatomy of a barefoot one.

This one is Raven Black — a true black that stays black rather than fading to grey. Smooth full-grain calfskin, hand-cut from the hide. It takes a polish, holds a crease, and reads cleanly in any light.

Lacing lets you tune the fit across the instep — useful if your feet change through the day.

• Drop — zero, heel to toe
• Toe box — anatomically wide, no taper at the little toe
• Outsole — 5–8 mm recycled buffalo leather, hot-pressed traction pattern. Grip without rubber, so grounding conductivity stays unbroken
• Grounding — copper rivet set at the K1 acupressure point
• Insole — 1 mm buffalo leather
• Lining — calfskin, not lambskin
• Construction — hand-cut and hand-stitched, iconic perimeter stitch
• Sizes — US men's 7–14, half sizes throughout

Made to order in Gaziantep, in a workshop that has been cutting leather since 1950.
