Innovative Materials
We use only the latest generation of innovative materials with very high mechanical and aesthetic characteristics, strictly animal free and as environmentally sustainable as possible.
Upper
“Alternative future suede” made with hi-tech eco-friendly ultramicrofibers (PVC free) and characterized by lightness, softness, breathability, waterproofness, and high resistance to aging and abrasion.
Lining
Eco-friendly, made with recycled polyester from plastic bottles and bio polyols obtained from no-food and GMO-free corn crops, and with life cycle assessment (LCA) certification that determines the environmental impact related to individual production steps of items.
Specifications
Name, size, and part number are handwritten on the inside of the shoe.
Processing
Goodyear’s patented “environmentally sustainable construction without animal products or derivatives” , which gives the shoe superior strength and durability, comfort and the ability to remanufacture the shoe when worn out.
Eyelet
The ‘outer upper eyelet of the left and right footwear is in gold color.
A small and discreet distinctive quirk that lends personality and sophistication to the details.
Sole

N-OIL maintains the performance and functional characteristics of Vibram soles, also meets Vibram standards for durability, and offers ideal grip on all urban surfaces.
The color of the sole is also made from 100% natural pigments.
Tradition and Made in Italy
We strongly believe in Made in Italy, and all our shoes are entirely handmade in Italy by expert craftsmen with Goodyear construction, in full compliance with the oldest rules and strict standards.
Each of our footwear is a unique piece that requires more than 200 hand-steps made by expert craftsmen in order to be made.
Patented environmentally sustainable Goodyear construction
We hold a prestigious utility model patent covering environmentally sustainable Goodyear processing without animal products or derivatives.
Goodyear craftsmanship is the most exalted of all men’s footwear workmanship, a guarantee of exceptional quality and involves, the welt, a strip of synthetic material, being sewn to the lip of the insole increna, also fastening the upper and lining together. Finally, the hand-milled sole is applied and sewn on.
The result is a well-structured, comfortable handcrafted shoe that is meant to last.
