- 6172 BROWN
The Sigotto Uomo 6172 in brown is a men's slip-on dress shoe in textured brown leather, with side cut paneling and a metal buckle on a double-tone strap. It has a breathable leather lining, a cushioned interior and a leather sole, and it is handcrafted in Istanbul, Turkey. It runs true to size in a standard width and comes in US sizes 7.5 through 13.
Craftsmanship
Sigotto Uomo handcrafts its whole collection in Istanbul, and each pair of the 6172 is hand-finished. The upper is textured brown leather, which gives the shoe warmth and more depth than a smooth, polished surface. Its defining feature is the side cut: a paneling detail along the side that breaks from the traditional loafer shape and gives the shoe a more relaxed, open feel and added flexibility through the foot. A metal buckle on a double-tone strap adds a finished, structured accent. Inside, a breathable leather lining and a cushioned interior keep it comfortable, and a leather sole keeps it in dress-shoe territory. As with all natural leather, small variations in grain and tone are part of the material's character.
Heritage
The slip-on dress shoe grew out of the loafer as men looked for a shoe that was easy to wear but formal enough for tailoring. Buckle details, borrowed from the monk strap, gave it structure, and the leather sole kept it in dress-shoe territory. The 6172 builds on that tradition and adds a modern side cut paneling for a shoe that looks familiar at first glance and distinct up close.
Styling
In brown, the 6172 is the more versatile of the two colors. Wear it with a navy or gray suit for the office, or with chinos or tan trousers and an open-collar shirt for dinner and weekends. The leather sole and buckle keep it polished, while the warm brown and side cut make it relaxed enough to dress down. Pair it with fine socks in navy, brown or gray.
