Rene Caovilla Cleo leather sandals

What stands out about the Rene Caovilla Cleo leather sandals is how little it tries — the house lets the construction do the talking.

The upper: bovine leather, sole: bovine leather build comes through in yellow, UK 2, with a finish that holds up to close inspection.

Built to outlast a season or two, which is really the point of buying at this level.
