This shoe really is lux. 

Made in Portugal, the hand-finished, soft, metal-free leather, featuring the stitched 'V' on the side, organic cotton laces and a 4mm Gobi sole, this lightweight, smart casual shoe really is the ideal addition to your capsule wardrobe.

With enough room for your feet to stretch out on even the most intense of work days, this Oxford style shoe, blurs the lines between work and play.

The Gobi Lux is the most stylish barefoot, leather boot we have ever seen.  Handstitched V on the side adding that extra touch of class, the gentle variations in colour within the leather and the softness makes these boots feel oh so lush.
