MAN SHOES

handmade men’s shoes made to measure

The handmade men’s shoes are refined, never banal, and are worn perfectly: they are handcrafted jewels, real works of art.

Thanks to a long tradition of artisan footwear, these particular shoes retain the memory of ancient crafts and the values linked to culture and work ethic, integrating them with new manufacturing techniques to obtain a product of the highest quality.

These are unique products and the long processing time justifies the wait to receive the finished object: the satisfaction of owning a piece tailor-made for us and that perfectly reflects our tastes is incredible!

Those who choose handmade shoes often have needs that go beyond the dictates of fashion: they are professionals who wear their clothes as if they were a second skin, businessmen who present themselves also through the suits they wear. Clothes and footwear that tell a story of quality and passion, to instill safety and confidence, without neglecting the well-being of the body: a hand-made shoe ensures a correct fit and gives balance to the whole figure, especially the back, meeting the needs of the wearer.

Those with a trained eye do not struggle to recognize handmade shoes.

To recognize an artisan shoe you need:

  1. Check the materials.
    Quality shoes often do not have an internal label to check the composition of the materials, so it is necessary to carefully observe and touch the leathers to evaluate their consistency and value.
  2. Check for symmetry and evaluate comfort.
    The two shoes must be symmetrical, never different from each other. There must be no variations in the color or height of the heel. Furthermore, it is essential that the shoe fits perfectly, comfortably, otherwise posture problems or back pain may appear in the long run.
  3. Check that the leathers are top quality.
    It is impossible to find a leather without even minimal defects, as it is animal skins that can never be free of imperfections. However, for quality handmade shoes, the leathers are carefully selected and only first choice ones are used. It is also necessary to check that the lining of the shoe is in breathable leather. Here is an unbeatable trick to check: swipe a wet finger on the lining itself, if it remains wet then you can rest assured that you have made a great purchase!
  4. Check the anchoring.
    The anchoring of the bottom to the upper must be perfect. In the handmade shoe, the leather or rubber sole is fixed not only by gluing, but above all by stitching. The most famous seams are Blake Rapid and Goodyear, processes that take their name from the respective sewing machines to carry them out. A perfect fixing of the shoe sole to the upper will ensure you an excellent performance, the shoe will last a long time and will have been a real investment.
