Amongst a wash of rather ubiquitous walking shoe designs we bring to you the ‘Rally King’. A name that suggests tennis, and probably shouldn’t, but there is more than one way to have a rally. It is at once superbly comfortable, durable and elegant. Inspired by the already very good Match, we ratcheted up the leather to thinner, softer and stronger goat leather in off-white, which also achieved a lighter weighted shoe. To the grippy Caoutchouc rubber sole we added a Mephisto proprietary ‘Airbag’ - not entirely sure what that is but it feels great and looks even better. Metal eyelets mean that tightening is even, smooth and strangely pleasurable, sensual even. Is this the perfect walking shoe? We think so.
