Hay tantas cosas que me gustan
Unas zapatillas muy bonitas, con un color estupendo y que combinan bien con muchas prendas: pantalones cortos, pantalones largos o vaqueros. Sin duda, entran en la categoría de «elegante informal». El único pequeño inconveniente es el ajuste... Aunque seguí la guía de tallas online y me decanté por la sugerencia, me quedan un poco ajustadas... Debería haber elegido una talla más.

Muy bien
El proceso de pedido, la entrega, el embalaje y la calidad general son muy buenos. Si sigues las recomendaciones de tallas que aparecen en la web, te recomendamos que elijas una talla ligeramente más grande si prefieres un ajuste un poco más holgado de lo habitual.

Nubuck footwear for men
Nubuck is suede's firmer, more structured cousin: top-grain leather buffed on the outer surface to a fine, soft nap. It holds its shape better than suede and takes colour with more depth, which is why we use it for tonal sneakers and selected boots. Designed in the Netherlands and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal.
What comes in nubuck
- Sneakers: the LT 01 Shades in a range of tonal nubuck shades.
- Boots and selected styles: where a firmer nap suits a more structured shape.
How to wear nubuck
The deeper tonal colours sit well with chinos, denim and knitwear, and read a touch more refined than open suede. The deeper tonal shades are the most versatile everyday choice.
Caring for nubuck
Treat it like suede: a protector spray before first wear, an occasional brush, and light rain only once protected. It resists scuffing slightly better than suede thanks to the firmer grain.
Frequently asked
What is the difference between nubuck and suede?
Suede is sanded from the inside of the hide for a soft, matt nap; nubuck is buffed from the outer grain, so it is firmer, more structured and slightly more durable.
How do I care for nubuck?
Protect it before first wear and brush occasionally, and avoid heavy rain. See our care guide for the full steps.
Does it run true to size?
Yes, in line with the rest of the sneaker range. Between sizes, take the larger one.
Where is it made?
Designed in the Netherlands and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal.

How to measure
Let’s find your perfect fit. Place a sheet of paper on the floor against the wall and put your feet (with socks) on it, heels against the wall. Make sure you lean on your feet with full power when measuring. Now you simply draw a line at the end of the biggest foot. Measure the distance with a ruler and find the size that matches it: see size table. Are you in between sizes? In that case, we suggest taking the bigger size.
Mediterranean Suede
Refined in style, matt in color. The ultra-soft suede leather is sanded and feels velvety soft. It is crafted from the inside layer of the leather hide. Mediterranean leather is the delicate choice.

Nubuck Leather
Premium nubuck: the best of the best. Exclusive leather that we sanded rough on the outside grain part of the hide, giving it a velvety butter-soft surface. It offers utmost suppleness.
Full Grain Leather
Full grain leather is naturally firmer and more durable as it is produced by retaining the top layer of the hide. Its appearance is natural, authentic, and robust. You are still able to see the grains. It looks just like the grains on your skin. We never sanded, buffed, or snuffed it, so this leather is super strong.

Mercerized Cotton
Mercerized cotton is the epitome of luxury in cotton fabrics. Through a special finishing process, the cotton fibers are treated to enhance their natural properties, resulting in a fabric that is smoother, stronger, and more lustrous. The mercerization process not only strengthens the fibers but also gives the cotton a subtle sheen that adds an elevated, polished look to the material.
What sets mercerized cotton apart is its ability to hold dye exceptionally well, resulting in vibrant, rich colors that resist fading over time. It’s smoother to the touch than regular cotton, offering a silk-like feel without sacrificing breathability. This fabric is durable, resists shrinking, and maintains its shape, making it ideal for garments that combine sophistication with everyday wearability.
