Shoe prototype

Manufacturer Lloyd

Not on view

In this comparatively simple design from Osgood collection, quality and style are expressed through subtle detailing in terms of closure and seaming. The outstanding feature is the complementary curves of lacing tab and quarter seam, which incorporates an elegant transition from turned to lapped construction. The turned seam is less typical in men’s footwear, and lends refinement and delicacy to the design. Additional sophistication is added by the attractive swooping line at the top edge.
