The CAIRO is the final shoe in the Barcon Getta dress shoe collection — and it closes on a statement. Hand-burnished cobalt royal blue. Mirror-polished. The colour deepens at the toe cap and heel, lightens across the vamp. In daylight it is electric. In low light it is deep and authoritative.
Double monk strap. Two gold rectangular buckles. Cap toe seam edged with brogue perforation dots. Quarter seam perforations. Slim pointed last. This is the most decorated monk strap in the collection — and the most colourful shoe in the entire range.
The sole is tone-matched and considered — grey brushed leather forefoot and shank, Barcon Getta crest and script at centre, dark grey fine ribbed rubber tread, silver welt stitching. Everything below the shoe is as deliberate as everything above it.
East African full grain leather upper — mirror-polished hand-burnished cobalt royal blue · darker burnished edges at toe and heel. Cap toe seam with brogue perforation dots · quarter seam brogue perforations. Double monk strap · two gold rectangular buckles. Leather lining. Full leather sole · grey brushed leather forefoot and shank · Barcon Getta crest and script branding · dark grey fine ribbed rubber tread · silver welt stitching.
Named for Cairo — the capital of Egypt, the largest city in Africa, where the Nile meets the desert and three thousand years of civilisation meet the present. For the man who carries history forward without being weighed down by it.

Cleaning
For surface dirt — a slightly damp cloth, no soap. For deeper marks — a small amount of saddle soap on a damp cloth, worked gently into the leather, wiped clean, then dried with a soft cloth.
Conditioning
Apply a natural leather conditioner — beeswax-based or lanolin-based — every 3 to 6 months. Use a soft cloth, work in small circular motions, allow to absorb for 30 minutes, then buff lightly.
Water
East African full grain leather is naturally water resistant. If the shoe gets wet — wipe dry immediately and allow to air dry away from direct heat. Do not use a hair dryer or place near a radiator.
Storage
Store with shoe trees when not in use. Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods. Use the dust bag provided.
The Patina
The darkening and character that develops over months of wear is not wear — it is the leather responding to you. Condition regularly and it will continue to develop for years. No two pairs age identically. That is the point.
