SEBHASTIAN LACE-UP

The eel skin has a unique, almost iridescent texture that catches the light beautifully, and the waxed cotton laces feel sturdy right out of the box. They're surprisingly comfortable for a dress shoe with a square heel.

I was worried the square toe would look clunky but it actually reads really sleek on foot. The eel skin broke in after two wears, and the waxed laces stay tied all day, which never happens with my other dress shoes.

The eel skin has this subtle texture that catches light without being flashy. Wore them to a dinner and the leather sole felt solid on the walk over, no slipping. Square heel is a nice change from the usual rounded ones.
