Article: A Spring Break

A Spring Break

This month we created three new shoes for our group-made-to-order with Spring in mind.

With dress codes becoming more casual, each of this month's shoes are equipped with a Vibram Rubber Sole, a comfortable trend that won't be going out of style anytime soon.

We received an overwhelmingly positive response to the new shoes that we made in a combination of leathers and decided to do something special with one of our popular oxfords.

Our Adelaide full brogue features five eyelet lacing, our signature asymmetric pattern with no center back seam and a streamlined silhouette around the entire shoe, and brogue detailing at the cap toe, throat, heel, and swan neck.

We selected snuff suede around the facing and tongue which softens the aggressive shaping of the chiseled toe and the heavier detailing of the brogues.

Since comfort has become increasingly more important to our clients as the workplace attire becomes more casual, we chose a Vibram Button Sole which provides cushioning as well as grip for the occasional Spring showers.

The result is a dress oxford that carefully balances a number of bold details and can be worn comfortably year-round at work and on the weekends.

Our second shoe is an updated take of our Joseph Cap Toe Double Monk in suede.

Joseph is our cap toe double monk featuring our asymmetric pattern with no center back seam, silver buckles, our signature embroidered insole, and a lightweight, comfortable and durable Vibram Gumlite Commando Sole.

We selected a beautiful Rioja patina, a beautiful mix of burgundy, brown, and black with the lighter tones popping out at the cap toe, monk strap, and heel.

Joseph will compliment your favorite grey or blue suit and look great with jeans.

The final shoe of our GMTO is a new version of our Manolo Tassel Loafer, our loafer of choice when colder weather kicks in.

With a Vibram Gumlite Commando Sole, Manolo is not only easy to slip on, the loafer has the cushioning and grip that will get you through the day in comfort and style.

We sourced grain calf from Weinheimer of Germany in Juniper and paired it with a 270 degree storm welt in natural, which gives the shoes an elegant pop.

Manolo will stand out appropriately with a suit and can easily be worn dressed down with denim, khakis, or corduroys.

Our Adelaide Full Brogue, Joseph Double Monk, and Manolo Tassel Loafer are now available in our GMTO through the end-of-day Tuesday, November 2nd.

Place your order with a 50% deposit using the code GMTODEPOSIT during checkout. The balance will be collected prior to the shipment of your shoes.

Changes to the upper, lining, last, width, sole, and patina of the shoes are available with a 200 euro change fee. Please email sales@normanvilalta.com for any questions or change requests.
