Augie Type-P - Leopard Haircalf

Regular price $590

Natural hair-on-hide calf sporting a rich leopard print

The Augie makes an elegant house shoe, and yet is durable enough to be worn around town as a loafer. Fully lined in calf with a padded insole for deep comfort - the rubber outsole is stitched through to the interior of the shoe for long lasting grip and comfort.

This model, named the Type-P, is crafted with a rich leopard print. This soft and lustrous upper is a full grain, hair-on-hide Italian calf. The lightweight, cushioned midsole is neatly wrapped in a complimentary brown calfskin.

Because of the limited production of this style, there is some variation in the range of color in the haircalf. Kindly note on your order if you have a preference for Light, Medium, or Dark - all of which are handsome in person. We will do our best to accommodate your request. 

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. 

Size Guide

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.
