Received a used pair

For the amount of money you spend on these shoes, you would think they arrive flawless besides the natural leather imperfections. Perhaps purchased to provide as a gift to a special loved one or even added into a collection. Well that's what I was hoping until I opened the box and seen grimey foot print stains on the insoles and dirty/worn outsoles. Stay away!

Very comfy and classy slip-ons. I feel like a better class of slob when I get into these at the end of the day

Best Slip On in the Known Universe

Unmatched quality leather. Impeccably, impeccably well crafted, crazy satisfying design from both a fit and aesthetic point of view.

A pleasure to walk in and practically speaking a useable piece of fine art.

Absolutely amazing.

Very Impressive Fully Handmade Footwear

I've now owned these shoes for several weeks, and have worn them a lot. I'm lovin' them! I was highly anticipating their release since they were first mentioned as a possible production item. These slip-ons are like gloves for your feet, with supreme comfort and ease of use. All of the leather is very supple and conforms easily to your feet. My Brannock size is 10 D/E, and size 10 in these shoes fits me perfectly. They were slightly snug at first but stretched and conformed quickly. They fit me best barefoot or with thin socks.Perhaps the best part is that they are made of my favorite top-quality full-grain English Tan leather. When I say that they are made of ET leather, I mean that they are REALLY made of it. No thin leather liners here. The uppers are made of 2 pieces of Horween leather hand-sewn back-to-back. The insert is a very thick piece of ET leather that comes with the rough-out side up and the Popov name embossed on it. It is very easy to switch and invert the inserts so the grain side is up if desired. The insole (which looks like the same ET leather as well) and midsole are also made of high-quality leather. Only the outsoles are not made of leather. Though I often like leather outsoles for loafers, the rubber outsoles are more versatile and should be easy to re-sole whenever needed. Despite the rubber, these shoes "breathe" extremely well and are just as flexible as my leather-soled loafers.As a matter of opinion, while I certainly enjoy the ease of use as slip-ons, I prefer a higher heel counter for a more secure fit when walking a lot. My only criticism is not really a fair one. My right shoe has what I would consider as having an average grain structure for this leather, without being notably tight or loose. My left shoe has exceptionally tight grain, and barely shows any creasing at all. Oddly, I actually prefer the looser grain with this leather since it has more character. I wish the grain of both shoes matched better, but again, this is not really a fair criticism, as there will always be natural variation, and the grain of the majority of my other shoes also does not match.These are truly handmade shoes, which is exceedingly rare when made in North America. I enjoy watching the Popov Leather videos online that reveal how the shoes are constructed. I will certainly treasure these, possibly for a lifetime. I find these shoes to be very versatile. They can be worn with shorts or slacks and a blazer. I was fortunate enough to receive one of the first pairs made from their initial production run. These are worth every cent, and I look forward to Popov Leather's next footwear creation. Very Well Done!!

These shoes are like gloves for your feet. They are supremely comfortable and are made of top quality full-grain leather that is supple, and conforms easily. These are truly handmade shoes, which is exceedingly rare in North America, and other than the outsole, the entire shoe is leather. Even the insert is a thick piece of Horween English Tan leather. The Insert comes with the rough out side up, but you can easily switch and invert them so the grain side is up if desired. My Brannock size is 10 D/E, and size 10 in these shoes fit me perfectly. They were slightly snug at first, but stretched and conformed quickly. These are also very versatile and can be worn with shorts or slacks and a blazer. I plan to wear these a lot, and they will probably last a lifetime if properly cared for.

Premium Full Grain English Tan Leather

Our full grain leather is for people who want to put their own mark on our goods through patina and every-day use. Full grain leather is highly-sought after due to its unique characteristics such as scarring, marbling, and variations in color tone. Every product we make is truly one-of-a-kind and unlike anything you can buy in a department store.

02

Hand-Sewn Stitchdown Construction

Stitchdown construction is a variation of the Goodyear Welted construction method, with a crucial difference. The upper leather is turned outwards and hand-stitched directly to the mid-sole, using heavy thread and a lock stitch process. This ensures exceptional durability, as the remaining stitches will hold firm even if one stitch becomes damaged.

03

Hand Lasted

Fully hand-lasted with a 3/4oz liner and outer, which gives an elegant shape and quickly molds to the shape of your foot.
