The Sky Blue Slip On is our modern day reinterpretation of a classic. Minimal, clean, effortless style taken to a new level with world-class construction and beautiful materials. Bold and old school. This shoe is just plain fun.
This Gustin slip on is made of suede from one of the finest tanneries in Tuscany, Italy. To produce suede of this quality, the skins are abraded 4 separate times allowing the artisans to get the thickness precise and the texture super plush. Suede gives this slip on a luxurious feel while the weight is substantial enough to give them sturdiness. The natural texture of the suede gives the surface of the shoe more interest - you just want to touch them. Next comes color - a sky blue. The skins are dyed in drum rolls twice to create a color that is intense and completely saturated in the skin. A crisp white Margom sole and black elastic on the tongue serve as bits of contrast. The natural calfskin lining peeks out of the inside of the shoe and feels great when you have them on.
The Gustin slip on is timeless. Take one look at the shape and you know it captures everything perfectly — from the low profile toe box, arc of the heel, to the elasticated gussets. These shoes have a way of charming you. They’re just so easy to live with in every way. Easy to put on, easy to take off. The minimalist styling and flowing lines never go out of style. Don’t be surprised if you start reaching for these slip ons first when you open the closet door.
Our sneakers are constructed by hand in the Tuscany region of Italy by a group of craftsmen who have been making shoes since 1901. They have perfected their craft to the point where the industry's biggest and best names, including Lanvin, use them for production. All leather is die cut one hide at a time. Single needle stitching is used to construct the uppers. Custom lasting creates the unique Gustin shape. An Italian-made Margom rubber sole is cemented internally and reinforced with 360° stitching to the upper. A calfskin-lined removable footbed is stamped with the Gustin logo. Elasticated gussets provide a snug and comfortable fit. These are time honored techniques taken to the highest level.
Sneakers made in Italy to our quality level, that finally get the styling right and that use only the highest quality materials carry incredibly high price points. The Gustin model allows us to offer you a radically better value.
Gustin slip ons run a little big. If you typically wear a US 9 or EU 42 in dress shoes or Converse Chuck Taylors, or measure 9 on a Brannock device, we recommend ordering a US 8 in these.

What Customers Are Saying
"My 1968s came in the mail yesterday…They're amazing! From the fit (thank you for all the hand-holding!) to the detailing, I'm blown away. Just tremendous quality at any price point, but the value here is off the charts."
-Scott S. | Verified Buyer
"Just wanted to thank you for the jeans. I had high hopes and yet these exceed my expectations! I love the fabric, and I love the fit and construction. Nice, nice work."
-Jeffrey S. | Verified Buyer
"So grateful for this brand! Love the fit, finish, and quality of everything I've ever bought from here. Moreover, the pricing enables people like me to have access to quality goods which are often outside of the reach of the most working people."
