Apologies to Jack Kerouac aside, words alone cannot describe the stunning weathered and surf-beaten rocks and cliffs that make up Big Sur's spectacular scenery. For that reason we tried to capture the area's splendor in a shoe, but at first we didn't even think that would be possible either. Then we found this incredibly special waxy reversed leather and suddenly knew we had found the perfect material to capture the area's raw beauty. The material's natural luster and differing textures not only recall the rugged coastline but they also will fit in perfectly in the laid-back towns you'll find along the coast and in the mountains. Crafted as a five-eyelet blucher to insure a snug fit, the Toby min-lug rubber sole has the grip and fortitude to deal with tough terrain, be it a cement sidewalk or a craggy cliff top. We've offset the shoe's rough-around-the-edges look with a leather lined foam insole for cushioning and a perf wingtip design that belongs in any cool urban environment, from a club to a pub, and you can take our word on that.
