Bruschetta Shoes are designed and produced by Brass Tokyo, the same workshop & artisans behind mainline Clinch Boots. As such, these sandals are manufactured using vintage and antique bootmaking machines, employing old world production techniques to develop a modern shoe with the personality and durability of a bespoke vintage sandal.
Releases are highly limited, with only a handful of pairs produced each year. The finished products are outstandingly elevated, constructed using 360 degree goodyear welts, premium hardware, and buttery-soft leathers. The patterns are handsomely unisex, pairing low profile silhouettes and crepe outsoles that wear extremely comfortably – allowing you to style them with both formal and casual summer pieces, depending on the need and occasion.
The Toluca Sandal is third style in the Bruschetta Lineup, designed with a two-piece upper that covers most, but not all, of your foot. The fit can be adjusted with a buckle at the outer ankle and they stand on a sleek crepe sole with a very subtle low heel – soft and exceptionally comfortable, it’s ideal for strolling around in on a hot day (but not recommended for wet or inclement weather, as these are sandals). The midsole and “insole” are both a full grain vegetable tanned leather, with an addition vachetta pad under the heel for comfort.
Vachetta cowhide is a vegetable-tanned leather most commonly used on designer and luxury bags. Its soft, plush, and requires very little break-in to reach peak comfort, wearing easily from the moment you put it on, and only getting better with time. The supple temper and veg-tan will also patina beautifully with time, darkening substantially and developing a subtle shine in certain areas.
They feature a 360 degree goodyear flat welt construction, that can be resoled and repaired by a cobbler when necessary.
