Carmina Crafts Goodyear Welted Calf Leather Norweigan Shoes

Just because you’re repping one of the classiest and most storied footwear brands in the world, doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice your workwear-cool aesthetic any time soon. Take Carmina, for example. One of the world’s most famous footwear brands based out of Mallorca, Spain—and though they are best known for elegant and dressy numbers like their iconic loafer, you can dress things down just a touch with their Norwegian Shoes.

The Carmina 80414 Forest Tan Grain is a robust but classy number with similarities to the coveted Japan-exclusive Red Wing Sports Oxford.  Its Norwegian-style split toe gives it a measure of elegance whilst its fairly chunky ridgeway sole and heel balance it out with some no-nonsense ruggedness.

Each pair is handmade and Goodyear welted in Spain, from heavily textured full-grain calf leather, so expect compliments, comfort, and patina.
