Overview: the casual shoe with a Gore-Tex membrane
The IGI&CO 2116311 is a men's casual shoe in coffee-brown nubuck with an uncommon combination: sporty looks, laces, a side zip and a Gore-Tex membrane. It is a shoe made for everyday use in the wet season, protecting from rain without giving up an informal, current design.
It suits anyone looking for a comfortable, practical shoe that works equally well for work, walking around the city or travelling and does not force you to change shoes when it rains. It is neither a mountain boot nor a snow boot, but a waterproof casual shoe for everyday.
Design and style: nubuck, two-tone laces and lugged sole
The design rests on a nubuck upper with visible stitching, a padded tongue, a dark leather heel counter with the brand logo and a side zip with a zip cover. The laces combine two tones of ochre and brown that contrast with the coffee of the nubuck.
The sole is the most striking element: black, with wide lugs and a serrated profile, with a rim that protects the upper. It adds volume, grip and a modern feel, and the black gives a very balanced contrast with the coffee brown.
Materials and finish
The outer is nubuck, a leather with a velvety matt finish that adds visual warmth, adapts to the foot with wear and hides small marks well. It has a dark leather heel counter that protects the heel.
The Gore-Tex membrane, marked by the metal label on the side, is what gives the waterproofing and breathability. The sole is flexible rubber with wide lugs and the side zip has a cover that protects it.
Everyday comfort
The comfort of this shoe rests on a flexible sole that cushions each step, a rounded last that gives the toes room and a soft nubuck that adapts to the foot. The laces let you adjust the fit to the instep and the side zip makes it easy to put the shoe on without undoing the laces.
With the Gore-Tex membrane the foot stays dry outside and breathes inside, much appreciated on rainy or damp days. It is worth trying them on with the socks you will wear and checking the instep is comfortable.
Gore-Tex membrane, lugged sole and dual closure
The Gore-Tex membrane is the functional feature of the model: it is waterproof and breathable, so it protects the foot from rain and puddles without the hot, damp feeling of a fully sealed shoe with no breathability. It is a clear advantage in autumn and winter.
The sole with wide lugs grips on wet and dry ground, and the dual closure of laces and side zip lets you adjust the shoe precisely or put it on quickly. Close the zip completely so the zip cover stays in place.
For which occasions
These are shoes for everyday city life, casual work, walks, travel and rainy days. Their sporty look makes them equally natural with jeans or chinos.
They are waterproof thanks to the Gore-Tex membrane, but they are not tall boots: in very deep puddles or prolonged immersion, water can come in through the opening. For extreme cold or deep snow, a specific boot is better.
How to wear them
With straight or slim jeans, the shoe shows in full and adds a casual feel. With chinos or corduroy trousers it works very well in autumn. With casual tailored trousers it looks modern and practical. Coffee brown looks especially good with navy, grey, olive green and earth tones.
On top, parkas, leather jackets, wool coats and quilted jackets all work. For a complete look, match the shoes with a belt or wallet in a similar tone.
Our opinion at Calzados Vesga
Our verdict is very positive: it is a well-resolved casual shoe with a Gore-Tex membrane, good-looking nubuck, a lugged sole with very good grip and a practical dual closure. It delivers what it promises as an everyday shoe for rainy days.
For anyone who wants a shoe that goes with almost everything and is not spoiled by water, coffee brown with a black sole is a very versatile choice.
Size guide and fit
The model comes in EU sizes 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 and 46. The last is normal, with a round toe. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger, especially with a wide foot or thick winter socks.
To measure, stand with your heel against a wall, measure to your longest toe and leave 5 to 10 mm of room. That space stops the toes touching the end and lets the foot swell during the day. If you have a high instep, the laces will let you adjust the room.
Care and cleaning
Nubuck needs specific care. Brush it with a soft suede brush to remove dust and apply a suede protector spray before wearing; avoid greasy creams, which darken and flatten the finish. If they get wet, let them dry at room temperature, away from radiators and heaters.
Do not machine-wash the shoes or submerge them. Clean the lugs of the sole with a brush and the zip with a dry cloth. Store them with paper inside so they keep their shape. The membrane keeps its function better if the shoe is cleaned regularly.
Before you decide
They may not be what you want if you need a dress shoe, a very light shoe or a snow boot. They are not ideal for intense heat either, even though the membrane breathes.
They are perfect if you want a waterproof casual shoe with a Gore-Tex membrane, nubuck, laces and a side zip for everyday autumn and winter use.
