Men's low shoes

Men's low shoes are a classic type of footwear that has become popular since the last century. If at first they were used only for riding and hunting, then later they became an indispensable element of business attire.

The first model of low shoes for men had a strict design that did not allow modifications - black and a sole without a heel.
