This timelessly beautiful sandal made from supple, vegetable-tanned cowhide leather impresses with its intricate braiding technique, in which narrow leather strips are artfully woven together. The supple, strikingly grained upper leather is unlined, so the suede side is on the inside and offers your feet a soft welcome. The padded insole made from vegetable-tanned cowhide and buffalo leather ensures a comfortable feel every step of the way. The stitched cowhide outsole gives the sandal more stability and flexibility. It has rubber inserts in the middle and on the heel for a better grip.

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 making shoes using the "ideal method", in which a visible seam joins the upper material to the insole, making the shoes particularly flexible, hard-wearing and durable. Today, the fate of Astorflex lies in the hands of Fabio Travenzoli, who consistently uses high-quality natural materials in production. First-class Italian leather is used for the uppers, in particular from master tanneries in Tuscany. The lining and insoles are made of soft calfskin, 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. Astorflex has dedicated itself entirely to "good shoes", as the addition "La scarpa buona" in the shoe manufacturer's logo promises.

The outsole may leave colored marks on the shoe or floor due to abrasion.
