Full grain calf leather

Full grain leather is one of the most valuable materials, because it constitutes the surface layer of the animal's epidermis and has not undergone particular processes that have altered its natural appearance. Precisely for this reason it maintains the original features of the coat: natural signs such as scars or stretch marks which give naturalness, authenticity and recognisability to the product.

Extra Light rubber sole

The Extra Light rubber soles are light and comfortable. The closed cell structure gives resistance to the shoe, protecting it from liquids, bacteria and external agents. The formulation of the sole promotes a "shock-absorber" effect which helps to improve foot support.

Blake Rapid processing

The Blake Rapid process was invented by Lyman Reed Blake in 1858 and immediately achieved great success, especially in Italy where it is still among the most used processes today. Its genius lies in the double "Blake" stitching that joins the upper, the insole, the lining and the midsole, while the "Rapid" puts the midsole and sole together, increasing the shoe's resistance and waterproofness. This makes the sole comfortable, yet durable.

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 tree 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

The animal leather we use is a by-product of the meat and dairy industry. Instead of being discarded and becoming waste, leather is recovered and transformed into a durable, high-quality material. This approach reduces waste and enhances every part of the animal, promoting a more efficient and less impactful production cycle. This motivation, combined with its durability and ability to be repaired, make animal skin the most sustainable material that can be used to make shoes. This is what we believe in!
