Ladies suede boot

Through and through comfortable is this boot from the house Astorflex. And as is customary with the Italian shoe manufacturer, it uses vegetable-tanned leather: suede from Tuscan master tanneries as the upper, soft, smooth calfskin for the lining and insole. The crepe sole is made of pure natural rubber, which provides good cushioning underfoot. The rather soft, unlined cuff provides a casual fit. It features triangular inserts on the sides for quick on and off. A distinctive feature in Astorflex is the so-called "ideal seam" along the edge of the sole, which gives the shoe flexibility and durability.

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.
