£335The Bolo
Bringing you a new way to Sabah: the Bolo, handmade of Italian leather in our El Paso workshop. This novel iteration was conceived as a refined take on our traditional Sabah silhouette. With the addition of a double-stacked heel & the removal of the exposed side stitching, we get an elevated end result that pays homage to the style that started it all. Crafted from buttery soft, high quality full-grain European leather, our Bolos offer a natural-milled and full bodied feel. The hard wax tannage creates a subtle polish which provides added texture and a slight contrast in tone. The custom double heeled outsole is sourced from Mexico, where it is stained jet black after being processed for 60 days using chestnut, quebracho and other natural tannings. These beautiful materials from across the globe are all brought together in our El Paso workshop by our master craftspeople. It is in Texas where the Bolo is finally born. Suited towards all seasons & styles, the Black Bolo brings new meaning to the phrase “dressed up or down”. The Bolos can accompany you to your finest soirees, while also swiftly pounding the pavement alongside your well-travelled denim. Breathing an effortless cool, the Black Bolo is truly 'a fresh kind of classic.'

Continuing to innovate here in the US.
We opened our second workshop in El Paso, TX with the intention to develop a space where we could continue to evolve our craft -- a beautiful setting where we encourage the combination of storied techniques, high quality materials and artistic expression.
The Bolo is our next labor of love - Pushing the reaches of what is possible here at Sabah. With evolution at the forefront in El Paso, the Bolo makes us ask ourselves "Where to Next?"
Your Questions Answered
How do I determine my proper size?
All of our styles are true to size; however, each unique silhouette differs numerically.
You can expect to take a different sizeway for Sabahs, Turkish made backless Babas, & El Paso made Babas. You can view the exact style type on the relevant product page.
We recommend selecting the numerical size that directly corresponds to your typical EUR/US shoe size in the drop down menu on each specific product page.
We certainly understand that juggling various numbers, sizes, & fits can feel daunting at first, so please do not hesitate to drop us a line for guidance & support!
How should my pair fit?
For an ideal fit, your Sabahs should initially feel quite snug as they are made entirely of natural leather and will stretch and form to your feet with wear.
Your toes should touch the end of the pair with some pressure; however, they should not be curling.
It typically takes 3-5 good wears for your Sabahs to begin notably stretching & relaxing throughout.
