Descrizione

The Loafer for men Messina it's a penny loafer in suede short haired, designed for those looking for a comfortable, elegant and truly well-made shoe. The Loafer it cannot be missing from a man's wardrobe, period. Our version is called Messina: a laceless classic that pays homage to the beauty of the city on the Strait, with a clean, essential line that is easy to wear every day.

It is our idea of a comfortable shoe: we have removed everything that is not needed to leave only substance, quality and craftsmanship. Messina was born to accompany you from the office to the city center, from the weekend away to the aperitif, with a refined style but without rigidity.

Don't just call it "suede." The suede short haired that we use is compact, soft and refined, chosen to avoid those ugly flex creases that are often seen on cheap shoes. During processing it is treated to be water-repellent: resists humidity and the unexpected events of the day better, remaining pleasant to the touch and stable over time.

Inside is what really matters: real calf lining, to help the foot breathe; leather sole with non-slip TPU clip, to maintain the elegance of the leather sole but with more grip when walking; removable internal insole, also useful for those who use orthopedic insoles.

Handcrafted product Montegranaro, in the heart of the Marche footwear district, Messina is a Loafer Made in Italy man designed to last. It matches with tailored trousers and a shirt for the office, with jeans and a blazer for a refined casual look, or with chinos and knitwear for a relaxed but precise elegance.

Suede

The suede leather, also known as suede, is a fine leather and recognizable for its softness and for the velvety, matte and refined texture. It does not come from the skin of suede, as the name might suggest, but from a specific processing of the leather that enhances the internal layer.

During the manufacturing process, the outer surface is removed and the underlying layer is subjected to tanning, dyeing and grinding. It is precisely this process that creates the typical soft and velvety effect of suede, while maintaining resistance, flexibility and comfort.

The result is an elegant and pleasant to wear material, ideal for those looking for suede shoes, artisanal footwear Made in Italy and models capable of combining style, comfort and character. A timeless choice, perfect for adding depth and sophistication to every look.

Leather with non-slip rubber clip

The leather it is a material resistant, hygienic, durable e reusable, always chosen for its ability to keep its qualities intact over time. With use and the passing of the years, it does not lose its charm: on the contrary, it acquires even more character and beauty. In the sole leather specials are inserted Non-slip rubber clip, designed to improve grip without compromising the natural feel breathability of the material. It is from this balance between artisan tradition and daily functionality that theiconic Ciccone sole.

Blake workmanship

The Blake workmanship it is one of the constructions that we feel closest to our way of making shoes. Its peculiarity lies in direct internal seam which combines the upper, lining, insole and sole, giving life to a shoe softer, more flexible and lighter. It is a process that requires precision, experience and great attention to the balance of the shoe.

For us it represents the tradition of Italian footwear at its best, because it allows us to obtain elegant but lively shoes, comfortable from the first use and capable of accompanying the foot naturally. This is why we continue to prefer it: because in Blake we find that softness and authentic comfort that, for us, really make the difference

How to take care of it

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

Cleaning: Use one toothbrush with brass bristles to remove dust or small stains. If necessary, in case of obvious dirt, wash with the Ciccone shampoo dedicated.

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 the 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!
