Ludwig Reiter UK size 11.5 (EU size 45.5) Norwegian Scotch grain navy Salzburger last original packaging NEW The Norwegian from Ludwig Reiter is a classic Derby that impresses with its striking apron and the fine vertical seam on the toe. As an elegant variation of the Derby shoe style, it shares the historical origins of open lacing, which dates back to the English Earl of Derby. In the early nineteenth century, he required a comfortable entry for his high instep, thereby laying the foundation for a stately design that remains unsurpassed to this day. The Viennese manufactory embraces this classic foundation and refines it with deep blue, textured cowhide to create a shoe of absolute lightness. The Scotch grain captivates with its gently pebbled surface, adding a subtle depth to the leather and catching the light in a velvety manner. This model is crafted using a welted construction on the proven Salzburger last, which provides the foot with comfortable room. The classic construction securely joins the upper to a profiled all-terrain sole, granting the wearer confident traction without adding visual weight to the lines of the shoe. It is the fine Viennese nonchalance that gives the rugged Nordic Norwegian a sense of flawless serenity.
