Split-Toe Tabi Mules

A tabi-style flat with a distinct split toe seam dividing the big toe from the rest of the foot, finished in soft black leather with a small leather knot at the vamp. The rounded, low-cut silhouette and tan leather lining keep the directional toe shape wearable as an everyday flat rather than a costume piece. The split seam is genuinely constructed and reinforced with its own row of stitching rather than just creased into the leather, and the sole is cut thin and flexible, closer underfoot to a ballet flat than a padded loafer. It's a statement silhouette that still reads as a considered everyday shoe once the leather softens and moulds to the shape of your foot.

Soft leather upper with a tan leather lining, a small leather knot at the vamp, and the split-toe seam reinforced with its own row of stitching. Condition the leather periodically to keep it supple around the split, since that's the seam under the most flex stress with every step — a dried-out split seam is more likely to crack than one kept conditioned. Wipe clean with a soft cloth and avoid soaking, and let the leather fully air dry before conditioning again if it does get wet.

The split-toe seam is genuinely constructed leather, not a printed line, so like the rest of the upper it can be conditioned and repaired rather than the shoe being discarded when the leather dries out. Because the seam is reinforced with its own stitching, a cobbler can also restitch it if it ever works loose, rather than the whole shoe needing to be replaced.
