David Driving Shoe | Black | Black Outsole | Made in Italy

Real Leather – Nubuck Calf Leather
Our Nubuck is top-grain calfleather that has been sanded or buffed on the grain (out)side, to give a slight nap of short protein fibres, producing a velvet-like surface. It is resistant to wear, and may be white or coloured. Ours is stamped to provide an extra lush finish. Nubuck is similar to suede, but is created from the outer side of a hide, giving it more strength and thickness and a fine grain. It is generally more expensive than suede, and must be coloured or dyed to cover up the sanding and stamping process. Nubuck characteristics are similar to aniline leather. It is soft to the touch, scratches easily, and water drops darken it temporarily (it dries to its original colour). Our Nubuck comes from the certified Italian Tannery Malaigia in the Marche region.

How to find your shoe size:

The easiest way is to place a sheet of paper against a wall and place your foot on the sheet with the back of your heel touching the wall. It is best to wear socks that you would normally wear with your shoes and put full weight on your foot. Draw a line at the end of your foot and measure the distance with a ruler.

Check the size table below to see which shoe size matches your foot size best. We suggest to take the size up if you are in between sizes.

 If you need more information or help, please feel free to contact us.

Seek advise from an expert before attempting anything yourself.
Protect your shoe against water and dirt with a protective silicon free guard. Repeat this regularly to avoid having to clean your shoes. If you do have to clean them use a damp cloth to carefully remove dirt. Cleaning is an irreversible process and therefore, thorough consideration should be made before any such attempt.
Avoid contact with water, heat, perfume and cleaning agent.
