Belvedere Nome Genuine Eel & Ostrich Lace Up Dress Shoe – Brown

Introducing the kind of shoe that refuses to whisper in a crowded room. The Belvedere Nome in brown—rich, textured, and frankly, hard to look away from—with panels of genuine eel and ostrich leather that play off each other in the light. Crafted for men who actually care about what’s on their feet (and aren’t afraid to admit it), this lace-up dress shoe brings together signature Belvedere detailing and meticulous Italian shoemaking.

Let’s not bury the lead: this is a striking lace-up oxford showcasing brown eel leather’s natural sheen, paired with supple ostrich for serious visual contrast and a wild tactile pop. Every inch is deliberate, from the wrought, patterned overlays down to that polished rounded toe and classic low profile. Slip into them and yeah, you get the point—quality you can see and actually feel, no smoke or mirrors needed.

Sharp events, evening plans, just another day in the office—Nome’s built for them all. That rare shoe you reach for when dress code matters and you’re in the mood to have some fun with it. The kind folks notice before you slide into your seat.

Style It, Wear It:

You know those nights when you actually want to dress up, not just have to? The Nome’s for those. Weddings where people might remember your style, business dinners that matter, dates where first impressions go a long way. Or, honestly? Jeans and a jacket on a Friday—these add immediate polish. They’re flexible, season to season. Heavy suiting in the cold, light linen blends in the heat, all fair game.

FAQs:

Q: Are these real eel and ostrich leathers?

A: Absolutely. Every pair is handcrafted using genuine eel and genuine ostrich, so each one has unique grain and character. No two are perfectly alike.

Q: Do they run true to size?

A: Yes. Most customers stick to their regular dress shoe size for a secure, glove-like fit. If you’re wide-footed, consider sizing up by half for comfort.

Q: Can I wear them for long hours?

A: For sure—Nome’s padded insole and flexible leather lining provide solid comfort, even for long events or workdays.

Q: How do I clean eel and ostrich leather?

A: Use a soft, slightly damp cloth after each wear to remove dust. For deep cleaning, opt for specialty leather conditioners made for exotic skins. Keep them out of direct sunlight when stored.

Care and Keeping:

Store your Nomes with cedar shoe trees. They hold the shape, absorb any moisture, and lend a subtle scent. Rotate with other shoes—let them rest. If they ever get marked up, resist harsh scrubbing; just a little conditioner goes a long way. Avoid puddles and gritty sidewalks—these are better off dry and indoors.

Fit and Sizing:

Available from sizes 9 through 13, in standard men’s D width. Expect a tailored, gently snug fit. Wear them two or three times and they’ll contour to your foot’s shape, thanks to the soft leather interior. Not sure about your size? Try on in the afternoon—that’s when feet are naturally slightly larger.

Final Word?

Frankly, these are the shoes you hope someone notices (bonus if they ask where you found them). Dress codes bow down. Brown never looked this good. Grab the Nomes, make your entrance and—honestly—let your shoes speak up.
