Astorflex. La scarpa buona

Astorflex is a family-run shoe manufacturer that still produces in Italy. From there come shoes that know how to convince in design, wearing comfort and thoroughly sustainable production. The beginnings of Astorflex date back to the 19th century. After the First World War, the descendants of the shoemaking family founded the company "Fratelli Travenzoli" in Castel d'Ario, a small shoemaking town in the province of Mantua (Lombardy). From then on, the Travenzolis specialized in manufacturing shoes according to the "ideal method", in which a visible seam joins the upper material to the insole, making the shoes particularly flexible, durable and long-lasting. Today, the fate of Astorflex is in the hands of Fabio Travenzoli, who has consistently focused the entire production on sustainability. This is evidenced not least by the use of ecological materials. First-class Italian leather is used for the upper shoe, especially from master tanneries in Tuscany. The lining and insoles are made of soft calf leather, vegetable-tanned in a decoction of oak bark and mimosa. The outsoles are mainly made of natural rubber, and only water-based adhesives are used. At Astorflex, they are completely committed to the "good shoe", as the addition "La scarpa buona" in the logo of the shoe manufactory already promises.
