Regular price $296.66One of our bestselling models, this silhouette is inspired by men’s tailoring. Articulated in dark brown suede, its supple gathered tongue, thick laces, and black natural rubber sole encapsulate comfort and style. Meet the Ray.
Origins
The Ray is the crepe-sole interpretation of the original Jacques Soloviere design, the Matt. Though it had a slow start, the Ray perfectly represents what we do best—elevating our classics to appeal to every kind of customer. Once its beauty and practicality were discovered, it quickly became one of our most in-demand styles. The crepe sole delivers exceptional durability through the winter months, offering the strength of a boot in a lightweight, single-tie silhouette that embodies effortless sophistication.
Words from the designer
“The Ray is a shoe that people either immediately love—or grow to love. It’s simple, functional, and intentionally designed to challenge the idea of what a winter shoe can be. Who wants a heavy lace-up boot when you can slip into a lightweight, easy-on Ray from Jacques Soloviere?”

This type of leather is not water-resistant, is prone to stain & water damage, and risks the possibility of discoloration. When exposed to rain, dry with a cloth as soon as possible. If severely soaked, put newsprint paper into the shoes to absorb water and prevent it from warping. Store in a cool dry place. High-temperature drying methods (i.e., a hair dryer) should never be used, which may cause the leather to harden, crack, or warp. Light stains can be cleaned with a dry cloth. We recommend you to use a cream.
PROPERTIES
Suede calf leather is distinguished by its soft, velvety texture and matte finish. Delicate to the touch, it embodies a relaxed yet refined elegance.
More sensitive than full-grain leather, suede is prone to discoloration through abrasion and can absorb moisture and stains easily. Its natural finish may transfer color when in contact with light-colored fabrics, especially when wet.
CARE
To preserve its beauty, suede requires gentle and regular care.
Use a suede brush to remove surface dust and revive the texture. Always brush in the same direction to maintain a uniform appearance.
For deeper stains or marks, use a suede eraser or a clean cloth lightly dampened with a dedicated suede cleaner. Never apply liquid products directly to the leather. Always test any product on an inconspicuous area first.
Avoid water exposure. If the suede becomes wet, allow it to dry naturally, away from heat. Once dry, brush gently to restore the grain.
To nourish and protect, apply a water and stain-repellent spray specifically designed for suede leather. Repeat regularly.
We recommend inserting cedar shoe trees between wears to absorb moisture and maintain the shape of the shoe.
Always store your suede shoes in their dust bags, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
