SAS Genuine Leather
Thank you for choosing SAS. Our shoes are handcrafted for comfort. Briar marks and other leather imperfections are characteristics of natural hides. We do not try to hide or replace them with dyes and stains. Such marks add to the natural beauty of our full grain leathers. As with any fine leather product, proper care is essential for appearance, comfort and wear. Alternating your shoes with another pair from your wardrobe will prove to be less costly, as each pair will wear longer and feel better.
