Product Description

Here is our new norwegian split toe blucher made in one of our most demanded lasts; the HIRO last. Featuring a pie crust apron stitching. Many hours are needed to produce a so delicate stitching, that just the master craftsmen can achieve, but it is trully worth the result!

The Novonappa calf is one of our newest additions to our leather range, a beautiful double tanned French calf, which is considered to be the one best calf available.

It is exclusively sourced from Tanneries Haas in the beautiful region de l’Alsace in France. This leather is entirely full grain and made with traditional Alsatian tanning techniques. The leather is through-dyed, double tanned (chrome tanned & vegetable re-tanned with a blend of chestnut, quebracho & mimosa) and hot stuffed with a mix of greases to nourish the leather, which provide the leather its distinctive, beautiful & rich glow, mellow touch & exceptional softness. Its distictive grain & natural finish (achieved thanks to the veg-tanning) allow the development of a beautiful & aggressive patina that will make every single pair unique & interesting over the time.

To produce this stunning leather only A-grade selection skins can be used, and so less than thirty percent of the skins that come to the tannery are suitable for the Novonappa production.

A very special & true luxurious leather, perfect to be used either lined or unlined, for the ultimate suppleness & comfort.

Meermin shoes are made using French full grain calf from some of the best tanneries in Europe. Our shoes & boots are Goodyear Welted following traditional techniques by skillful artisans. This shoes are made to last and to just get better looking & more confortable over the time. these pair of NST´s is fully calf leather lined & made using full grain vegetable tanned leather insoles.

NOTE: Because of the vegetable retan, oils & waxes & fats used in the tannage, this leather might 'bloom' meaning that a white layer of wax might appear on the surface of the leather. No need to worry at all, this can be easily removed with a soft brush and you'll be good to go!
