The Lincoln Ave. Saddle Shoe No. 8367

Few shoes command attention the way a well-crafted saddle shoe does. The Lincoln Ave. No. 8367 from Robert August is built for those who understand that footwear is never just an afterthought—it is a statement of character, taste, and craft.

The upper is a study in deliberate contrast. Burgundy Box Calf leather forms the front and sides, its smooth, refined surface catching light with quiet confidence. The saddle, tongue, and back are rendered in Black Full Grain Leather—a material known for its durability and the way it develops a rich patina over years of wear. Together, these two textures and tones create a silhouette that is timeless without being predictable. Round black laces tie the look together with clean, unfussy precision.

Open the shoe, and the craftsmanship continues. Red Calf Leather lines the interior, offering a smooth, comfortable fit against the foot while adding a flash of unexpected color reserved for those who notice the details. Beneath that, a leather sole—hand-painted in the same deep red—grounds the shoe with a sole that looks as considered as what sits above it. Mountain rubber inserts are integrated throughout, providing reliable traction and cushioning on any surface without disrupting the shoe’s refined profile.

The construction method is Goodyear Welt, a technique used by the world’s finest shoemakers for over a century. It means the upper, insole, and outsole are stitched together through a strip of leather—creating a bond that holds up to daily wear and allows the sole to be resoled, extending the life of the shoe well beyond what most footwear can offer.

Every pair is handcrafted in Spain by artisans who specialize in this level of work—where precision, patience, and skill converge in each stitch and finish.

For those who want something more personal, the Lincoln Ave. No. 8367 is fully customizable. Choose your own leathers, colors, and details to build a shoe that is entirely your own.
