FEIT Hand Sewn Brown Mules Size 38

FEIT Hand Sewn Brown Mules Size 38. Fantastic gently used condition. Originally $500 FEIT’s interpretation of a classic open-back mule is built on a slim sole and elevated with luxury materials and a high level of craft. Made from vegetable-tanned leather, they feature our signature one-piece upper, hand sewn Goodyear construction, and leather wrap. The Hand Sewn Mule in Natural Leather. All FEIT shoes are made from start to finish by one master craftsman. The one-piece upper is sewn by hand directly to the midsole. A cork footbed and a bamboo shank stabilizer are added, before cementing the leather outsole to the midsole using a natural, water-based glue. We refer to this process as a modified handsewn Goodyear construction—this method ensures all FEIT shoes can be resoled. Cordovan leather, historically made from the buttocks section of a horse skin, has been used only for luxury dress shoes. FEIT shoes use the entire skin—hence the name "semi-cordovan”. The leather is tanned slowly, nourished with natural oils, and shaved. A century ago, when horses were still a driving force behind transportation, hides were plentiful. Now they are extremely scarce and difficult to come by. The use of this highly luxurious and elevated skin allows the foot to breathe and because it is much softer, does not require breaking in.
