鹿与奈良

Why we picked it

I have returned to this shop for many pairs. I like the soft wrapping feel, and the purple styles were particularly hard to walk past.

Our experience

Personally used

In my experience, the leather felt very soft and largely avoided the hard heel-rubbing I have had with other leather shoes. The real products matched the imagery. But the lasts tend to run narrow: I tried the purple styles and they did not suit my wide feet and high instep.

Product details

Wide feet or high insteps deserve particular care.
