Product description

Essential Black is a versatile urban shoe in an all-black design that easily fits into both your work and casual wardrobes. The smooth leather upper has a simple and elegant look, while the anatomically shaped Realfoot design provides plenty of toe room for natural movement. The flexible CityGrip outsole, combined with the STANDARD 2.0 removable insole, makes walking the daily kilometers on asphalt, cobblestones, and other hard surfaces more comfortable.

  • CityGrip Outsole – A 5-mm flexible outsole (3 mm base + 2 mm tread) designed primarily for urban environments. It provides a more comfortable feel when walking on hard surfaces while maintaining the foot’s natural movement.
  • Realfoot's anatomical shape—with an extra-wide toe box—provides ample space for all five toes, including the little toe. This allows them to spread out freely and engage actively while walking.
  • Removable STANDARD 2.0 Insole – combines flexibility with gentle cushioning and helps increase comfort during longer walks around town.
  • Smooth leather – this simple leather design gives the shoes a cleaner, more elegant look that pairs well even with more formal outfits.
  • All-black design—black upper, laces, and outsole—creates a subtle, easy-to-style shoe without any striking contrasts.
  • Versatile – Essential Black goes well with jeans, chinos, and more formal urban outfits, and you can wear it to work, while traveling, and in your free time.

Boty jsou mimořádně pohodlné. Řeším jimi vbočené palce a malíčky pod prsteníčky, a jako součást terapie jsou neocenitelné. Jen podrážka na mokru klouže.

Ne, že byste se klouzali po asfaltovém/betonovém chodníku, ale když je venku mokro, musíte si dávat pozor na kamenné a kovové povrchy. Zároveň je nutné při deštivém počasí užívat rohožky, protože i když např. stoupnete mokrou podrážkou na suchou hladkou podlahu, tak se sklouznete, dokud se podážka neosuší pohybem po suchém povrchu. Problém je i třeba s nastupováním do autobusu z mokrého venkovního povrchu - když si nedáte pozor, tak noha v busu se sklouzne zatímco druhá noha ještě pevně stojí na venkovním povrchu. Pokud samozřejmě nejsou v busu nějaké protiskluzové prvky, což pražské nízkopodlažní autobusy nemají (alespoň jsem si nevšiml).

Ale co si budeme povídat, poslední dobou zrovna moc neprší. Čili boty jsou super, jen za deště je nutné se více soustředit na to, kam člověk šlape. Neřekl bych, že by se tato zkušenost nějak lišila od těch, které jsem získal s jinými městskými (i některými outdoorovými) botami.
