Yanko Stitchdown plain toe derby brown suede

A great everyday shoe that is both comfortable and stylish in most situations. Classic plain toe derby model in medium brown Repello gum oil suede from the well-known British tannery Charles F. Stead. Built with Stitchdown construction, where the upper is turned outwards and stitched to a leather midsole, to which the rubber sole is then attached. The shoes can easily be resoled by a cobbler.

Made on round last S292, with a soft, comfortable crepe rubber sole in dark brown. Shank in the arch that provides support to counteract tired feet. Yanko is one of the oldest still active classic shoe brands from Spain, with a solid reputation as an affordable manufacturer of quality shoes.

Note that on this type of Stitchdown construction there are often marks in the uppers from the sole stitching machine, this is normal and it often becomes less visible over time when the shoes have been worn. Also, linings and stiffeners are turned outwards (because of this, soft celastic stiffeners are used here, in order to be able to bend them in the required way) and can therefore be visible along the edge.

Construction:
Stitchdown. Upper turned outwards, sewn onto leather midsole, to which the outsole is attached. Can easily be re-soled.

Sole:
Crepe sole made of natural rubber.

Sizes:
The shoes are slightly small in size, most go up 0.5 in size if you have a normal / slightly wide foot (if you have a slightly narrower foot, however, most people choose the same size) compared to welted shoes from, for example, Skolyx, TLB Mallorca, Loake, Crockett & Jones and Carmina's sizes. Here you will find a detailed size guide for our shoes. If you are still unsure of your size, email ktj@skolyx.se.
