DURABILITY - WHY ITALIAN MADE SHOE ARE NOT ONLY BEAUTIFUL BUT DURABLE
Like everything in fashion, investing in lasting, timeless footwear is the key. In this regard, Italian handmade shoes will forever be a sought-after trend because they offer customization, top-notch materials, and most importantly, durability.
In other words, when you make the decision to purchase a pair of shoes, you should always consider their lifespan. Italian handcrafted shoes and sneakers are not just good looking and comfortable, but extremely durable as well. Indeed, they are made from the highest quality materials and consequently, they don’t suffer the wear and tear. They are meticulously crafted by experts to ensure an exceptional end result. But let’s better understand what is so special about Italian handmade shoes.
· The Italian craftsmanship. In Italy, shoemaking is an art that has been handed down through generations for more than a century. Italian shoemakers use traditional, labor-intensive crafting methods, that provide a better fit and longer durability.
· Stitching. Cheap shoes are just glued together in a way that won’t stand up time and use. Instead, most handcrafted Italian shoes are either blake-stitched or blake rapid stitched, using a single or double stitch on the inside. This provides a clean silhouette and it also makes the shoes easy to resole, and thus more durable. Moreover, these shoes can have a much thinner and more flexible sole, providing great lightness and comfort.
· The Italian leather. Italian leather is highly regarded for the beauty of its nuances and its long-lasting strength. In Italy, shoemakers hand-pick the best full-grain leather to produce their highest-quality shoes. Indeed, full-grain leather has a natural surface that develops a beautiful patina with time and wear and it is less prone to get stained or scuffed.
· High-quality rubber. Rubber is the ideal material for soling sneakers, as it is soft, flexible and light, but most of all, it is incredibly resilient. Handcrafted sneakers feature a better quality rubber sole that is designed to last up to three times longer than the average lifespan. If you take good care of it, your sneakers can last for years.
A longer lifespan
A sneaker made from synthetic and cheap materials tend to wear out quickly and lose its supportive abilities, with the end result being a flattened arch, collapsed heel, or eroded footbed. Even the most popular sneakers have a lifespan of a couple of years at maximum. Instead the life expectancy is up to five years for Italian handmade sneakers and they also get better with time. You can wear them all day long everyday because they're built to take anything you put them through.
Tell your story!
You can rest assured that an Italian shoe will never go out of style and its durability will let you save a lot of money. Indeed, once you find the perfect fit, you’ll be able to repair the sole and heel many times. In this way, a handcrafted shoe will stay in your wardrobe for a very long time, helping you define your style. It will be not just an item, but it will reflect your identity and tell a story, your story.
