Men's leather lace-up shoe

The cut and material make this shoe both robust and comfortable. The upper is made from grained cowhide, which is vegetable tanned, as is the soft cowhide of the lining and insole. The strong outsole features the striking "Olimpiadi St. Moritz Roccia pattern" designed for the 1948 Olympic Games. It offers good grip on almost any surface, insulates against the cold and at the same time provides good shock absorption. A striking detail is the leaf insert on the back of the foot, which is edged with an all-round moccasin seam. The dust flap is sewn on. The insole is removable and can be replaced with your own insoles if required. The laces run through two pairs of metal eyelets attached from the inside.

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.

The outsole may leave colored marks on the shoe or floor due to abrasion.
