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, the Travenzolis specialized in making shoes using the "ideal method", in which a visible seam joins the upper material to the insole, making the shoes particularly flexible, hard-wearing and durable. Today, the fate of Astorflex lies in the hands of Fabio Travenzoli, who consistently uses high-quality natural materials in production. First-class Italian leather is used for the uppers, in particular from master tanneries in Tuscany. The lining and insoles are made of soft calfskin, vegetable-tanned in a decoction of oak bark and mimosa. The outsoles are mainly made of natural rubber and only water-based adhesives are used. Astorflex has dedicated itself entirely to "good shoes", as the addition "La scarpa buona" in the shoe manufacturer's logo promises.
