Description
Friulane shoes (or call them Furlanes) are the historical shoes of Friulian tradition: simple lines combined with refined black velvet, fresh cotton lining and rubber sole. They were originally homemade by women from villages in the mountains, then they found new life among the Venetian canals: the gondoliers needed a comfortable, stable and delicate shoe on the wood. The hand stitching has remained just as it once was: hands make each shoe a unique piece with their irregular motion. Today these shoes are a symbol of elegance: wear them with cotton and cream-coloured linen trousers, with pleats, and jersey polo shirts in peach tones. Let them be your slippers at home, if you are one of those who never give up class.
Made in Gonars (Italy)
Construction
The upper is sewn by hand, with a chain stitch, directly to the sole just like in the past: to this day there are no machines that can take a Friulian craftsman's place. The hand stitch makes the initial fit rather enveloping, but in a short time it adapts to the foot. The rubber sole and midsole are instead machine-sewn.
Color
As the color of elegance par excellence, black is an evergreen in clothes-matching. This is why they say that something is the new black when it becomes popular or fashionable.
Sole
The rubber sole, with typical visible stitching, ensures a good grip. We wanted to recreate the texture of a bicycle tire, because originally the soles of the Friulane were made with old tires (today's are quite different from yesteryear's). The midsole is made of wool felt and latex to give you the comfort you want.
Material
Velvet gives even more elegance to the soft outlines of this shoe which reminds us of distant eras. Soft and shiny, for the gentleman who will not go unnoticed.
