Popps JONAS Mens Suede Desert Shoes Cognac

The Popps JONAS is a men's desert shoe in cognac suede, a warm mid-brown tan that sits somewhere between chestnut and caramel. It keeps to the classic desert shoe shape: a low top, a round toe and a simple lace-up front with a short row of eyelets, so it stays easy to pull on and easy to wear.

The suede upper has a soft, lightly brushed surface that gives the cognac colour its depth and takes on character with wear. Inside, a textile lining sits next to the foot and helps the shoe stay breathable through the day, while the PVC sole is light underfoot and adds a little cushioning without bulk. The shoe is a regular width, so it suits a standard foot shape, and the lacing lets you fine tune the hold across the instep.

This is a casual shoe first and foremost. Cognac suede works well with jeans, chinos and darker trousers, which makes the JONAS a sensible choice for weekends, relaxed offices and warmer-weather dressing when a full boot feels like too much.
