CROCODILE TASSEL LOAFERS 734 FOREST

Forest is Carmina’s most archetypal and early last. With its classic and timeless design, this last seems to resist the course of time. In fact, it is the favourite last for the Albaladejo family. Proof of this is the fact that, 15 years after it was released, it is still one of the most popular lasts. Rounded toe, regular instep and more room across the forepart.

Crocodile skin is one of the most sought-after options among men's shoes. It differs from the alligatore skin because it is coarser and tends to be more matte. In addition, this skin comes from the belly parts of the crocodile which means we can only manufacture models with smaller pieces. We can distinguish this skin by the circular pattern on the skin. Crocodileskin is strictly controlled by CITES guidelines, ensuring that they are not over-hunted. All our crocodile is sourced legally in a sustainable and unharmful environment in Asia.

Leather with the JR-Brand label is waterproof and extremely abrasion resistant, tough yet flexible, very comfortable to wear and optically distinguished by its attractive grain and warm, woody colour.
