Burgundy is the color a man reaches for when he wants his dress shoes to say something without shouting - and the Soka says it in deerskin. Mezlan pairs supple, textured deerskin panels against polished burgundy calfskin for a cap toe silhouette with real depth and character, finished with hand-stitched tassels at the lace throat for a touch of old-world formality. Inside, soft Italian calfskin lining and an injected memory-foam insole mean this shoe feels as considered as it looks - no break-in period, no stiffness, just the flexible comfort of genuine Spanish Bologna construction.

Handmade in Almansa, Spain since Mezlan's founding in 1968, the Soka is built for the boardroom, the black-tie table, and everywhere a well-dressed man needs a shoe with color instead of yet another pair of black oxfords.

FAQs

Q: What is the Mezlan Soka burgundy dress shoe made of?

A: The Soka features a combination upper of textured deerskin and polished calfskin in burgundy, with soft Italian calfskin lining and a leather-and-memory-foam insole. It's handmade in Spain.

Q: Does the Mezlan Soka run true to size?

A: No - the Soka runs generously. Mezlan and Arrowsmith Shoes recommend ordering a half size down if you typically fall between two sizes.

Q: Is the Mezlan Soka good for formal or wedding occasions?

A: Yes. The cap toe silhouette with matching tassels is a classic dress style, and burgundy is a popular formal-wear color for weddings, business events, and evening occasions.

Q: What construction method does Mezlan use?

A: Mezlan uses Bologna (sacchetto) construction, a traditional Spanish shoemaking method that produces a flexible shoe without a rigid shank - meaning less break-in time than typical Goodyear-welted dress shoes.
