Hazelnut Suede Derby Shoes - Rubber outsole - BUSHEY GOMME

SPLIT SUEDE

Suede split is obtained by splitting a thick leather into two layers. The top, outer layer is the grain, where the hairs grow. The layer taken from the flesh side of the skin is the split.

Split suede is extremely soft and comfortable, and it catches the light beautifully, which sets off some colours to superb effect. All Bexley suede split are treated with water-repellent, to make them more rain resistant.

CEMENTED CONSTRUCTION

Cemented construction is another assembly technique that does not require stitching, as the sole is attached to the upper with adhesive.

This construction technique is particularly suited to lighter models, with less obvious soles. Here at Bexley, we only use this method of construction – which is the one most commonly used worldwide – for some of the trainers in our casual ranges, and a few models of rubber-soled dress shoes for winter wear.

RUBBER SOLES

Lugged or smart, Bexley rubber soles contain a high percentage of natural rubber and guarantee both maximum grip and long term resistance. They are all suited to both wet weather and extreme cold, as well as being shock-absorbent, very light and really comfortable to walk in.
