It is the ideal shoe for those seeking formal aesthetics without giving up the flexibility of a modern sole.

The box bottom makes Monopoly less rigorous than a Loafer in leather. It goes perfectly with a chino trousers or a wild denim. It's the ultimate choice for "Smart Casual": elegant enough for a meeting, comfortable enough for a trip. To be worn strictly with visible ankle.

full-grain leather of veal

The full-grain leather it is one of the finest leathers used for handcrafted shoes, because it corresponds to the most external and noble layer of the animal's coat. Unlike corrected or highly processed leather, it is not sanded to erase its natural appearance: it therefore maintains its own original surface, his authentic grain and its natural resistance.

Precisely for this reason, one shoe in full-grain leather it may have small natural marks, light veining, scars or irregularities in the coat. They are not defects, but characteristics that make each pair unique, authentic and recognisable.

Over time, the full-grain leather develops a personal patina and becomes even more beautiful with use, especially if cared for correctly. It is the ideal material for those looking elegant leather shoes, artisanal footwear Made in Italy and products designed to last over time.

Rubber sole

Le rubber soles they are an ideal choice for those looking durability, resistance and adhesion in a shoe to be used every day. Made with selected materials, they offer a stable and safe walk, maintaining a good level of comfort even after many hours of use.

Designed to accompany the shoe over time, the Ciccone rubber soles they help protect the bottom from wear and maintain good performance even with prolonged use. Their structure makes them suitable for different weather conditions and various types of terrain, guaranteeing a reliable traction on different surfaces.

They are a practical and versatile solution for those looking comfortable shoes, resistant shoes, handcrafted footwear for men and women with a more grippy and functional sole than traditional leather.

“Cassette” processing

In a world of glued shoes, we choose substance. Each shoe is made up of an upper (the upper part) and a bottom (the sole), but what matters is how they are joined.

In Ciccone shoes we use the box processing: the upper is inserted into the bottom e stitched around the edges.

Extreme Robustness: The mechanical stitching guarantees an indissoluble union between the parts.
Zero Gaps: Unlike glue-only shoes, we drastically reduce the risk of the sole coming off over time.
Advanced Craftsmanship: We combine the modern aesthetic of the sneaker with the structural seal of the classic shoe.

How to care for leather shoes?

To keep your leather shoes looking their best, we recommend following these simple instructions:

Cleaning and polishing: Use one cream based on beeswax for polishing and apply it with a brush made of horsehair to avoid scratching the leather.

Protection: Periodically use a waterproofing product such asACQUASHOES Allows you to protect your shoes from moisture and stains

Conservation: Store your shoes in a dry place and away from direct heat sources. The ideal would be to use shoe trees made of cedar wood to maintain the original shape.

Duration: To increase their durability I recommend that you always alternate the shoes you wear and in case of rain, wait for them to dry completely before putting your wet shoes back on.

Slow Foot

We believe in the movement Slow Foot: a shoe should not be an object of rapid consumption, but a travel companion to be looked after.

Circular Economy: We use reclaimed animal leather as by-product of the food industry, transforming the waste into a noble and durable material.
Against waste: We value every resource through a conscious upcycling, promoting a low impact production cycle.
Extreme durability: The combination of natural and total origin repairability makes real leather, for us, the true sustainability.

This is what we believe in!
