Women's Barefoot Leather Boat Shoe — Hickory

Summer's shoe, made properly: hand-stitched, unlined at the toe, flat to the ground.

This one is Hickory — a mid-tan with a reddish undertone that deepens with sun. Smooth full-grain calfskin, hand-cut from the hide. It takes a polish, holds a crease, and reads cleanly in any light.

Wears best without socks; the calfskin lining handles it.

• 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 women's 3.5–14, half sizes throughout

Hand-built to order in Türkiye by the third generation of the same family.
