Description
Friulane shoes (or call them Furlanes) are the historical shoes of Friulian tradition: simple lines combined with refined green velvet, fresh cotton lining and a 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 beige linen and cotton trousers with pleats and a white linen shirt. Breakfast at the bar, today is Saturday.
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
The velvet confers an ever-changing effect to their green: from any position, your shoes will always look different, but always soft and elegant.
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.
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.
