Vulture Half Mid Suede
Suede shoes are popular choice for fall and here’s another one from Vulcan. These shoes - the Half Mid Suede - look sort of like a Chukka. They feature an all suede upper and white sole.
One cool thing is that there’s no branding on the exterior, which keeps them simple and clean. They come in four colorways - black/brown (best choice in my opinion), brown/green (outdoorsy appeal), beige (the only light color) and green/purple (the most vibrant of the group).
You can get the Vulture Half Mid Suede right now at Journal Standard.
