Discover The Leather
Materials
Every great shoe begins with extraordinary leather—and The Elric is no exception. Made from premium burnished calf leather in a warm tan-brown shade, this shoe carries both elegance and soul. The surface is gently burnished by hand, allowing natural undertones to emerge and creating a rich, lived-in patina from day one. Inside, it’s fully lined with soft, breathable calf leather, offering all-day comfort without sacrificing structure. At Leatherly, we don’t just source leather—we seek out the finest tanneries in Europe, where craftsmanship still matters and every hide has a story to tell.

Feel the Craftsmanship
Classic with a twist, The Elric is a five-eyelet cap toe derby that pairs refinement with detail. The cap toe adds structure, while subtle punch detailing along the facing and toe brings in texture and charm without overwhelming the design. Its almond-shaped toe balances formality and comfort, giving it a silhouette that works as easily in an office as it does in more casual settings. Every pair is hand-cut and hand-finished by skilled shoemakers—people who have spent decades perfecting their craft, not rushing it. This is true handmade work, visible in every line, every stitch.
discover the Sole
Good Year Welted
At its foundation, The Elric is built to endure. The Goodyear welt construction—arguably the gold standard in classic shoemaking—ensures the sole is not only durable but also resoleable, giving this pair a long life well beyond fast fashion. The sole itself is full leather, offering a natural feel underfoot. The stacked heel, a combination of leather and wood, is not just handsome—it’s stable, balanced, and adds just the right amount of lift. This is a sole made to walk miles, in both comfort and style.
