The Buckle Changes Everything.

Most leather slippers have no hardware to speak of. A rivet here, a stud there — functional at best, decorative at minimum. The Simon does something different: a gold-tone buckle sits on a tan leather centre tab that bridges the two sides of the strap, joining dark cotton webbing on either side into a single, considered construction. The buckle is not at the side. It is not adjustable in the conventional sense. It is at the centre, framed by the tan leather tab, and it is the first thing anyone looking at the shoe notices. Everything else — the oil pullup footbed, the cushioning layer, the super-light dark anti-skid sole — is the substance behind that detail.

Oil Pullup Leather Footbed — Warm, Deep, Gets Better With Wear

The footbed is oil pullup leather in a rich tan-brown — oils saturated into the hide during tanning that give the surface warmth, depth, and a pull-up effect at flex points over time. As the leather bends and bears weight, the stressed areas lighten against the deeper base, building a two-tone surface that is particular to the foot wearing it. Below the leather sits a cushioning layer that gives the foot a platform with real support — not a thin base that compresses out within an hour but a layer that holds its loft through a full day of wear.

The Centre Tab — Where Two Materials Become One Strap

The strap construction is a study in how two materials can be joined with intention rather than necessity. Dark cotton webbing — breathable, skin-friendly, flat against the foot — runs across the upper on both sides. At the centre, a tan leather tab bridges the two, holding them together and carrying the buckle on its surface. The join is stitched and structured: the webbing feeds into the tab rather than simply sitting behind it. The result is a strap that reads as a single piece from a distance and reveals its construction only on closer inspection. The contrast between the dark webbing and the tan leather tab is the visual engine of the whole shoe.

Gold Buckle — Hardware That Is the Design

The gold-tone buckle on the tan centre tab is the detail that separates the Simon from every other slipper in the range. A buckle on a slipper is unusual — it belongs more naturally to a sandal or a dress shoe, and bringing it into casual leather footwear requires confidence in the execution. Here the execution is right: the buckle sits flush on the tab, sized proportionally to the strap width, and its warm gold tone against the tan leather reads as considered rather than decorative. It is the kind of hardware detail that makes a room notice the shoes without knowing quite why.

Diamond Brand Stamp at Toe Post — Identity in the Detail

At the toe post, where the strap meets the leather that separates the toes, a diamond-shaped brand stamp carries the mark pressed into the leather. Small, precisely placed, visible from above — it gives the toe post a finished quality that plain leather construction does not. The diamond outline frames the stamp and gives it a graphic edge: a badge rather than a mark. On the oil pullup leather it develops subtle depth at the pressed edges as the leather ages, becoming more defined rather than less.

Dark Cotton Webbing — Breathable Strap, Skin-Friendly Through the Day

The webbing that forms the body of the strap is dark cotton — the same breathable, non-heat-retaining material that runs through this range. Cotton sits flat against the foot, allows air to move, and does not create the pressure or moisture build-up that leather-only or synthetic straps tend to produce in warm weather. The dark colour keeps the webbing subordinate to the tan leather tab and buckle — it is the ground, not the figure. Sweat-friendly and reliable across long days without demanding attention.

Super-Light Dark Anti-Skid Sole — Wave Groove, Full-Base Grip

The sole is dark — a deep compound that anchors the shoe visually and sits in keeping with the brown tones of the upper. The compound is super-light: engineered to deliver almost no perceptible weight underfoot while maintaining flexibility across the full sole length. A wave-groove anti-skid pattern runs across the full base, providing grip on the entire contact surface rather than concentrating at specific points. The combination of zero felt weight and full-base traction is what the sole is designed to deliver, quietly, on every surface it meets.

Style Note

The Simon is the most formal-casual slipper in the range. The gold buckle gives it an authority that plain or stud-detailed slippers do not carry — it works with outfits that have some structure to them without requiring the foot to be in a shoe. Dark brown trousers, tan chinos, indigo denim with a tucked shirt, linen in earthy tones. The tan-and-dark combination is versatile enough for most wardrobes; the buckle makes it specific enough to be remembered. This is the slipper for the man who dresses with some intention and wants the foot to reflect that without conceding comfort.

A buckle. A tab. A centre join. The Simon.

Superlight Leather Slippers

These leather slippers combine three amazing ingredients, antiskid sole, pure leather and cotton webbing to create a stunning slipper

Genuine Leather

The construction uses handpicked leather which is of a grade that it will absorb sweat very well, given the open slipper design – this makes it very comfortable. The leather touch makes it ideal for wearing it with denim, chinos and even shorts.

Anti-Skid Sole

The sole is made of a sophisticated new age material which makes it superlight. The sole has powerful antiskid grip even on wet surface. This is also a very flexible sole allowing the slipper to mimic the feet movement.

Cushioned Foot bed

The Slipper has thin layer of memory foam under the foot-bed which along with the flexible-sole reduces stress on your knees and ankles. This is an amazing everyday slipper which looks both stylish and is very comfortable.
