Goodyear-welted, which means it can be resoled — three or four times over its life, by any competent cobbler in Lahore or Karachi. Cemented shoes at half the price cannot, and that is the whole argument.

Burnished calf upper, leather lining, leather sole with a rubber insert at the tread. Solid brass buckles.

A cork-and-latex footbed that takes an impression of your foot over the first two weeks and then stays there. Suede lining, adjustable buckles on both straps.

The outsole is EVA — light, and it grips a wet bathroom floor, which a leather sole does not.

Cork-footbed slide with adjustable leather straps.

Ilaaf Contoured Slide Sandal — fabric and finish detail

A 75 mm heel, which is the height most people can actually stand a full function in. Leather-lined and leather-soled with a rubber tip at the heel, so it does not skate on marble.

Padded footbed as standard. The point is elongated but the toe box is cut on a wider last than it looks — take your usual size.

Leather-lined pointed court shoe with a 75 mm heel, padded footbed and rubber heel tip.

Ilaaf Pointed Court Heel

Leather-lined pointed court with a 75 mm heel and a padded footbed.
