Product Description

NORIEI's "OFFICER SHOES" are crafted based on the military shoes worn by U.S. Army officers during ceremonies and formal dress code occasions.

While rooted in military footwear, they are defined by the sophisticated silhouette expected of an officer's dress shoe.

They pair naturally not only with dressier attire like slacks and sets, but also with casual styles such as denim and wide trousers, making them a versatile addition to your everyday wardrobe.

Their most notable feature is "natural cordovan," one of the materials that define the NORIEI brand.

Cordovan is a rare leather harvested from the "cordovan layer" found in a horse's hindquarters.

Typical cordovan is given a high-gloss finish by smoothing the surface during the final production stage, but these shoes are intentionally left in an unfinished state, with the nap intact.

Therefore, they are not "finished" when you purchase them.

Apply cream and polish them to bring out a beautiful luster.
Use a wire brush to raise the nap for a matte, rugged appearance.

The very expression of the leather changes based on how you wear and care for them, evolving into a pair unique to you over time.

The construction utilizes the Goodyear welt method, known for its robustness and ease of repair.

As they can be resoled, you can continue to wear them for many years with appropriate care and repairs.

A timeless, universal design.
The unique appeal of rare cordovan material.
And the process of aging that you complete yourself.

These are a pair we recommend as a lifelong companion that will grow on you the more you wear them.
