Introducing the Boat Moc For Spring Summer 2013 Amsterdam Shoe Company introduces yet another new style, the Boat Moc. A take on the classic boat shoe, the Boat Moc lacks the common two eyelet design and favors a clean hand stitched moccasin design with leather bow tied laces on the vamp. The back of the shoe features an overlay on the heel with a hand stitched detail and wave inspired zigzag stitch.
The colorways on the uppers consist of two or three color tones in suede leather with a hand applied finish for a slightly worn look. To carry on the aesthetic to the lining, a tonal raw edge cotton is used. The sock-liner consists of full-length padded tan leather. The four available colorways for SS13 are Ochre Yellow/Taupe, Bold Red/Stone, Orange/Brown and Triple Blue.
