Luxury Line: the handmade shoe counters for high-end footwear

Handcrafted shoes are more than just footwear. Made one by one, exclusively by hand, each shoe is a small masterpiece, the result of hours and hours of work. The production of toecaps and counters for luxury shoes, therefore, can only be an operation of great technical value.

For this reason we have chosen to dedicate a line reserved for these shoes. The Luxury line includes entirely handmade counters and tips. High-quality products, made to measure for artisan footwear, so as to adequately protect the parts of the shoe most prone to impact.

Handcrafted tips and counters: the properties of leather

We do not use machinery to produce the tips and counters of the Luxury Line: every single step is made by hand, with extreme care and attention.

For this line, moreover, we use only leather. This raw material in fact:

  • it has excellent malleability characteristics
  • has excellent wear resistance
  • is obtained from a part considered waste in the food chain and therefore leather is also an eco-sustainable material, ideal for those who want a handmade shoe that does not waste resources of the environment
  • • is very hygienic and this property makes it particularly suitable for being in contact with the skin. It avoids, in fact, the development of fungi, moulds and other pathologies of the foot produced by the stagnation of humidity inside the shoe.

Our leather tips and counters are also used to make orthopaedic shoes because, due to its characteristics, it is able to replace the lining.
