Ålsten II Black Calf

Ålsten II in black calf stands as a study in restraint and refinement. Each pair is handcrafted in Portugal, shaped on a carefully designed last that accommodates a wide range of foot shapes. Offering a standard width, a considered instep, and a subtly chiseled toe, it provides a tailored fit that feels quietly confident. The cap toe double monk strap design, rendered in full-grain calf leather, speaks to a tradition of classic men's dress shoes while embracing a modern, minimal sensibility.

Every detail is intentional, from the clean lines of the dual buckle closure to the subtle sheen of the black calf. The Blake stitched construction ensures a sleek profile and comfort, while the half-rubber sole lends versatility for city streets or formal halls. A leather board heel stiffener and cork filling provide enduring support and structure, creating a sense of ease and allowing for a seamless transition between occasions.

Ålsten II in black calf is designed for those moments that call for quiet distinction. It pairs effortlessly with tailored suits, formal slacks, or evening attire, making it an essential for business, ceremonies, and formal events. Whether stepping into a boardroom or marking a milestone celebration, this double monk strap offers a foundation of elegance and poise.

Rooted in Scandinavian design values, Ålsten II embodies a commitment to craftsmanship and timeless style. It is a well-made shoe for men who appreciate subtle luxury, versatility, and the enduring appeal of classic black calf footwear.

• Use shoe trees to ensure that your shoes maintain their shape.
• Brush off superficial dust and dirt after each wear, and rotate your shoes to prevent wearing the same pair two days in a row.
• Polish your shoes regularly to keep the leather soft and subtle. We recommend using Myrqvist's Shoe Cream. You can either apply it with an application brush, or a polishing cloth. Buff off excess shoe cream using a horsehair brush.
• Apply a thin layer of wax over the shoe for extra protection and shine. We recommend using Myrqvist's Shoe Wax. Buff to a shine using a horsehair brush.
