Ladies low shoe velour

You can literally see its comfort and the soft feel of this shoe. Vegetable-tanned suede from master tanneries in Tuscany is used as the upper material. The lining and insole are made of supple, vegetable-tanned calfskin. The crepe sole is made of pure natural rubber, which provides good shock absorption. Thanks to its thickness, it also has insulating properties in cool weather. A striking detail is the leaf insert on the back of the foot, whose circumferential seam is bordered with piping. Thanks to the so-called "ideal seam" along the edge of the sole, a quality feature of Astorflex, the shoe is extremely flexible and durable.

The beginnings of Astorflex date back to the 19th century. After the First World War, the descendants of the shoemaking family founded the company "Fratelli Travenzoli" in Castel d'Ario, a small shoemaking town in the province of Mantua (Lombardy). From then on, they specialized in the production of shoes using the "ideal method", in which a visible seam joins the upper to the insole, making the shoes particularly flexible, durable and long-lasting. Today, the fortunes of Astorflex are in the hands of Fabio Travenzoli, who has consistently focused the entire production on sustainability. This is evidenced not least by the use of ecological materials. First-class Italian leather is used for the upper shoe, especially from master tanneries in Tuscany. The lining and insoles are made of soft calf leather, vegetable-tanned in a decoction of oak bark and mimosa. The outsoles are made primarily of natural rubber, and only water-based adhesives are used. At Astorflex, one has just completely dedicated to the "good shoe", as already promised by the addition "La scarpa buona" in the logo of the shoe manufactory.
