The pick: the perfect shoe for the weekend
Words: Freddie Church
Bally has long established itself as one of Europe’s leading luxury shoemakers. Founded in 1851 by Carl Franz Bally in Schönenwerd, Switzerland with a desire and drive to create shoes of the highest quality, using only the finest quality materials and revolutionary craftsmanship techniques, even going as far as to import the most modern machines from the United States, underlining the commitment to craftsmanship. Functionality, modernity and of course style all formed key founding elements of the company’s design ethos and it’s philosophy that still rings true to this day.
These split-sole driving shoes embody all of these design elements to a tee. Made from high quality suede in an unconventional and ever so wearable shade of mid-sky blue. They come lined in soft supple leather with the brand’s signature trainspotting stripe woven across the upper in contrastingly classic red and white, providing an eye-catching finish. These are a must-have for any gentleman this weekend, adding immediate sophistication to any casual outfit, especially if worn, say, with a white open-neck shirt and dark jeans: really allowing these statement shoes to stand out, perfect for any off-duty plans you may have, gentlemen.
