Not your average wingtip, the Raptor delicately balances elegant Italian looks with the features you demand of a barefoot shoe. For the barefoot enthusiast who wants to look stylish day in and day out, this shoe fits the bill.
The Raptor embeds upgraded features that keep the modern man healthy while being unobtrusive to the eye. Features such as a hidden drop-zero heel that retains the look of a dress shoe, a deceptively wide toe box, reduced toe spring, and improved treads are combined with the Italian style discerning professionals crave.
Like Raptor’s voracious namesake, you live an epic, adventure-seeking life on your own time. The Raptor wingtip allows you to reap the benefits of barefoot in the boardroom as well.

- Care for your Carets by using a shoe cream that allows for conditioning, shine, and water resistance. We recommend Saphir Médaille D'Or Shoe Cream which is made from all natural ingredients.
- Use a shoe horn to slip on your shoes whenever possible.
- After wearing your Carets, properly store them by slipping shoe trees (available at the Outlet Store) inside to help maintain their shape.
- As with all leather, try to avoid water, mud, snow, and salt. If your Carets get dirty, clean them off as soon as possible.
- Be sure to rotate your Carets with other shoes, as even the nicest dress shoes can wear out from constant use.
- Despite their comfort, try to refrain from exercising in your Carets!

Zero-Drop in Disguise
Carets appear to have a heel, but your foot rests inside it for a zero-drop fit. You get the same natural and upright posture as being barefoot for happy ankles, knees, and back, but with a sophisticated look. Without a heel, other minimalist dress shoes simply don’t look high-end.
