Split Toe / Norwegian Split Toe Shoe Style

A split-toe, also known as a Norwegian-style shoe, is defined by a unique and artful construction on its toe box. It features a visible, stitched seam that runs vertically down the center of the toe, ending with a small, horizontal pucker—the "split." This seam is often complemented by a hand-stitched "apron" that wraps around the top of the toe box. The result is a clean, structured, and visually interesting detail that sets it apart from a plain toe.
