Vegetable tanned calfskin from Tuscany
This model, named the Type-P, has an upper of a finely grained vegetable tanned calf from the renowned Italian tannery, Maryam. This leather can be polished to a high shine, or left alone to develop a deep, natural patina. The lightweight, cushioned midsole is neatly wrapped in a complimentary calfskin.
The Augie Type-P is built around August Special's proprietary Harry Last, this version modified to create the closer fit required in a slip-on shoe. The toe profile and overall expression remain the same as the iconic Harry.
The Harry Last is a classic fit, following the natural shape and curves of your feet. The toe box is roomy and allows for natural movement and a comfortable stride. We currently make all styles in an E width.
Our sizing is comparable to Alden, so if you wear an Alden size 9, you can confidently order an August Special shoe in size 9.
If you have a very narrow foot or a low instep, you could consider ordering a half size down. For particularly wide feet, a half size larger could accommodate.
Where we see variations in fit because of a particular leather or styling detail we have this noted on the individual product page.
If you have any questions about sizing, please reach out to us here so we can help guide you to your ideal size. We offer returns and exchanges according to our common-sense policy, which you can see here.
