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

Praga Calf is a men’s calfskin Oxford designed for the most formal settings, where precision, visual clarity, and restraint make the difference. The smooth upper, defined by a single seam at the back of the heel, removes unnecessary elements and places the focus on the purity of the line, giving the style a composed and authoritative presence that fully belongs to our Heritage Footwear Collection.

Blake construction makes Praga Calf flexible and comfortable, while the welted leather sole reinforces its formal character and long-term durability. The last supports the silhouette with balance, making this Oxford particularly suited to tailored suits, eveningwear, institutional occasions, and ceremonies where disciplined detailing matters as much as the full look.

Within the Moreschi catalogue, Praga Calf belongs to the Weddings and Ceremonies and Events selections. For a coordinated finish, the clearest complement is the Bradford belt in black calfskin, ideal for building a look that feels clean, consistent, and well resolved.

The name Praga evokes a city with strong architectural and cultural identity, where balance, depth, and restraint coexist with ease. It is a fitting reference for a style defined by essential form, formal character, and quiet distinction.

Care

Calfskin is the leather most used across the Moreschi collection: compact, durable and capable of taking a precise, lasting polish. Unlike more porous leathers, it responds well to wax and improves with a consistent maintenance routine applied over time.

For regular care:
1. Brush regularly with the Moreschi Wood Brush with horsehair bristles, or wipe with a soft cloth, to remove dust and surface dirt before applying any product.
2. Apply the Moreschi Leather Polishing Wax — Neutral for light-coloured or new leather, Black, Dark Brown or Dark Blue to revive a specific tone — working it in with circular, even strokes. Allow to absorb for a few minutes.
3. Buff with a clean cloth to achieve a rich, even shine. For precise application along the welt and stitching, use the Moreschi Wood Brush with horsehair bristles.
4. Store in a dry, ventilated environment away from direct light, with the Moreschi Wood Shoe Trees inserted to preserve shape and allow the leather to breathe.

Calfskin shoes that incorporate exotic leathers — e.g. ostrich, ostrich leg or tejus — require separate care protocols for each surface. To avoid treating the exotic sections incorrectly, we recommend consulting a specialist cobbler directly: they can identify the right products for each material and work safely across both.

For specific repairs on plain calfskin — deep scratches, abrasions or restoration work — consult a professional leather care specialist.

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.
