Manufacturing
For the upper, we selected vegetable-tanned leather from an Italian tannery working with many luxury houses. Our wear tests have shown it to be highly resistant, including to rain and creases. It marks very little with use.
After several abrasion tests on the sole, we chose to manufacture it with 60% synthetic rubber and 40% recycled rubber from scrap soles.
The water-based glue is heated to a high temperature for greater resistance, thus avoiding the use of toxic glues. Finally, it is sewn to the upper for added durability.
These shoes are made in Portugal, and every step of the manufacturing process is carried out by hand: from die-cutting and assembly to stitching and sanding.
Leather source: Italy
Manufacturing location: La Calçado Alfil in Porto, Portugal
