DESCRIPTION
A new silhouette for the season, the M42.5 merges two iconic WWII-era military designs; the M-42 service boot and the M-43 service shoe, into a refined, modern hybrid.
The leather used for this model is French-sourced BLACK ESPRIT de CHROME cowhide. Chrome-tanned for a soft, supple feel with slight elasticity, it develops even creasing over time. Finished with a tea-core construction, the underlying color gradually emerges with wear.
Built on the Munson last, the design features an anatomical, asymmetrical toe shape that mirrors the natural contours of the foot for enhanced comfort and wearability. It also incorporates the higher heel balance of the M-42, paired with the clean, single-piece leather upper and precise stitching of the M-43.
Versatile, distinctive, and made to evolve with wear, the M42.5 is designed to move seamlessly across settings, an essential built for nearly any occasion.
