Vasco make beautiful and very well made lifetime leather goods and we were so pleased to hear that they had ventured into the world of sandals. It’s really quite hard to find a solid long life pair of sandals and as expected with Vasco, they have made a great version.
The leathers are slightly stiff but soon supple thick cowhides in very rich hand burnished/ washed colours. In no time the leather will soften up and shape to your foot and patina galore. Vasco leather is fantastic stuff.
The sole is solidly built with a double midsole (insole glued to midsole) which is cemented to the very hardwearing Vibram outersole and then nailed through. It’s a solid choice, will last a long time and you can also have them resoled much further down the line.
Take a look at the sizing info but the sandals have a good width, shaped arch support and are immediately very comfortable for the warmer months activities and around the house/ garden year round.
Made in Japan by very particular craftsmen.
