Moreschi shoes are traditionally comfortable: we recommend choosing one size smaller than your usual size

Edimburgo is a men's Oxford in black natural-grain buffalo leather. This model from the Heritage Footwear Collection is crafted with Blake construction and a rubber sole with a mock-rolled welt.

Buffalo leather stands out for a natural grain that is more pronounced and irregular than pebble-grained calfskin: every hide is different from the next, and this variability is part of the value of the material. The upper is solid and flexible at the same time — it protects in more dynamic conditions of use without stiffening the stride. Blake construction ensures constructive flexibility and long-term durability. The rubber sole with mock-rolled welt adds grip and water resistance, making Edimburgo particularly well-suited to wet days and intensive daily urban use — without compromising the formal profile of the model.

Edimburgo pairs with tailored suits, wool trousers and contemporary business looks.

Edimburgo takes its name from the Scottish capital — granite, mist, an austere beauty that does not present itself but must be earned. A shoe that carries the same attitude: its character reveals itself to those who pay attention.

For a shoe in the same buffalo leather, the Moreschi range includes the Bruxelles loafer and the Strasburgo derby.

Care

Buffalo leather is defined by its bold, irregular natural grain: each pair carries a distinct visual character determined by the animal's own skin structure. Products should nourish the leather in depth without flattening the grain — which is the material's primary aesthetic value.

For regular care:
1. Clean regularly with a soft dry cloth or the Moreschi Wood Brush with horsehair bristles, removing dust and residue without pressing too hard against the grain.
2. Apply the Moreschi Leather Polishing Wax — Neutral or the corresponding colour — in small amounts, working it in with gentle strokes without compressing the surface structure. Allow to absorb, then buff with a clean cloth.
3. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct heat or heavy moisture: buffalo leather can stiffen if not treated promptly after contact with water. If wet, dry at room temperature away from heat sources.
4. Store in a dry place with the Moreschi Wood Shoe Trees inserted to support the natural breathing of the material and preserve the original shape.

Buffalo leather is occasionally paired with exotic inserts. Each surface must be treated independently: apply cream exclusively to the buffalo sections, taking care not to touch the exotic parts. The open grain of buffalo and the structure of exotic leathers respond very differently to products — any care involving both materials should be entrusted to a specialist cobbler.

For deeper maintenance or if the grain shows signs of alteration, consult an experienced cobbler.

Blake construction

The Blake construction is used for shoes with leather or rubber soles and ensures a secure bond between the upper, midsole, and outsole. After an initial phase of gluing and pressing, the sole is further reinforced with a single stitch made using a specialized Blake machine, which fastens the bottom of the shoe directly to the upper.

The result is a solid yet flexible shoe, ideal for refined everyday wear.
