Skolyx premium sneaker high top in black leather
$151
Here is a high version of the classic minimalist sneaker model, in black chrome-free calf leather. A shoe for slightly lower temperatures, or if you just appreciate a more stable shoe. With our line of premium sneakers, we have taken all our shoe knowledge and gone into all the details of the shoes, to achieve specifications of absolute top class.
The shoes are built with a "sidewall stitched" construction that allows the shoes to be re-soled by a cobbler with the right equipment, which together with parts such as the midsole in real leather (instead of cardboard that is otherwise standard), these are shoes that can be with you for a long time. Like all our sneakers, the inside is lined entirely of natural coloured vegetable tanned leather. These sneakers are made exclusively for Skolyx by a family-owned factory in Portugal.
Below all the details of the shoes:
- High quality chrome free full grain calf leather uppers.
- Fully lined in Italian vegetable tanned leather which is kind to the foot and breathes well.
- A thick built-up and cushioned insole, covered with vegetable tanned leather.
- Comfortable padding along the opening and in the tongue.
- Durable and comfortable cup rubber soles.
- Leather board heel stiffeners that moulds nicely to the foot, instead of plastic heel stiffeners which are by far the most common in sneakers.
- Midsole (which is like a base inside the shoe under the removable insole) in more durable leather, instead of being made of a felt cloth or cardboard as in almost all other sneakers.
- Shank in arch of the foot which gives the shoe comfortable stability in the area that is not supposed to bend.
- Made with a sidewall stitched construction, which can be resoled by cobblers with the right equipment.

See in the text above for which specific products to use for these shoes.
Basic shoe care:
- Don’t use the same pair for two consecutive days
- Brush / wipe the shoes off after use
- Use shoe trees and shoehorn
- Treat leather with shoe cream / suede and textile with waterproofing spray
Learn more on these steps in this guide.
Further shoe care info:
Read this guide on how to clean, nourish and shine leather shoes.
For how to clean, refresh and protect suede and nubuck, read this guide.
Basic shoe care:
- Avoid wearing the same pair two days in a row. Shoes need time to dry up, otherwise they will wear out faster.
- Brush / wipe off your sneakers after use to remove dirt that otherwise will increase wear and tear.
- Use shoe trees and a shoehorn to retain the shape of your shoes and make them last longer.
- Treat leather with shoe cream or a moisturising conditioner / suede and textiles with waterproofing spray
- Something that makes a big difference to the overall impression is a sole edge dye that restores the sole edge, here we have Tarrago Sneakers Total White for white and Total Black for black.
More on these general advice in this guide.
Further info on cleaning and care:
When your shoes are really dirty, clean them with a good shoe cleaner, like Tarrago WASC! Sneakers Super Cleaner (always use shoe cream / conditioner on leather or waterproofing spray on suede after cleaning them).
Read this guide for more detailed information and video on how to clean and care for your sneakers.
General size info
Our sneakers and trainers are normal in size, most people have the same size as they have in other sneakers (runners are small in size, here most people choose a size up against this). If you are choosing between two sizes, it's usually best to go for the larger size. Keep in mind that you can adjust the size by changing the insole, either by replacing the relatively thick insole with a thinner one (like this one) to make more room, or by inserting a thin insole (like this one) under the existing insole of the shoe to fill it up. If you think the shoes are small, test removing the insole to get a feel for how one size up feels. Compared to our Goodyear welted shoes, these are small in size, it's common to go up 0.5-1 size compared to what you have in welted footwear.
They are manufactured in EU sizes, so conversions to UK / US may fluctuate slightly. US sizes listed are men's US sizing.
Selecting size based on feet measurements
Although the shape of your feet is very important, in many cases you can calculate your shoe size by measuring the length of your feet and look at the chart below. If you have very wide feet, an extra high instep or similar, you should also consider this and look at the other ways to calculate your size as well. Of course, personal taste is also something that is important. Some people prefer snug shoes while others prefer more roomy.
Note: For runners, most to up 1 size compared to our senakers and trainers, so the guidance here +1.
Measure your feet with your heel against a wall and with a tape measure or a ruler lying on the floor (so not by drawing the foot and then take measurements). Here's a picture that explains it further. The measurements in the chart below are approximate, and are only intended as guidance and not fact.
Selecting size based on shoe measurements
If you want to compare the measurements of our sneakers with other shoes you have, you can look at the chart below. Note that there may be some differences between sneakers and trainers, the measurements are approximate (note, runners are shorter, about 1 cm). The width refers to the widest part of the shoe. When comparing with other shoes, it may also differ due to the shape of the toe, the design of the sole and so on. Only use this as guidance.
