Retro trainers with a barefoot sole
These Victoria trainers (model 1186103) combine the classic tennis shoe line with a detail that makes the difference: the barefoot sole, flat and flexible, designed for a more natural step. The result is a casual women's trainer in elm suede, with the brand's white "V" and a caramel-toned rubber sole that rounds off the vintage feel.
They are for you if you want a comfortable trainer with a retro touch, without the stiffness of a conventional sports sole. Compared with a trainer with a thick, cushioned sole, this one goes for a low profile that lets you feel the ground; compared with a plain trainer, the suede and white contrast give it more character.
Calzados Vesga is a family shoe shop on the main square of Burgos, northern Spain, with a carefully chosen range of brands and real advice on fit and on caring for suede.

Everything you need to know
Overview
This is a casual trainer with a classic tennis-shoe line, updated with a barefoot sole: flat, flexible and without the usual drop between heel and toe, letting the foot work more naturally as you walk.
Design and style
The elm suede, the white "V" on the side and the leather details on the heel tab and tongue form a warm, simple palette. The caramel-toned rubber sole, with its vintage texture, completes the retro feel.
Materials and finish
The upper is suede with a soft feel. The lining is textile and the sole is synthetic, low profile and flexible.
Comfort day to day
The flat, flexible barefoot sole favours a more natural step, with less stiffness than a conventional sports sole. The textile lining is easy to keep clean and feels pleasant against the foot.
Occasions
They work for a walk, a weekend plan, an informal lunch or the everyday life of anyone who prefers casual footwear with a retro touch. This is an in-between-seasons shoe, for autumn and spring.
How to style them
Elm sits well with jeans, chinos or cargo trousers, midi skirts and pieces in earthy tones, white or denim. For more options, browse our women's casual shoes and the rest of our women's footwear.
