Italian Craftsmanship

Our bespoke shoes are crafted by our 6th generation Italian artisans since 1908.

Each pair of shoes involve over 250 unique steps to complete.

Artisan planning a bespoke shoe design on the last

Planning

The design of our shoes are sometimes originated from the wishes and specific needs of the client. The design is enhanced with personalization, which starts with the planning and shaping phases

Artisan hand-cutting leather for a bespoke shoe upper

Cutting

The cutting of the leather that creates the upper is done exclusively by hand, to ensure that only the best leather is chosen for each specific design

Artisan stitching together a bespoke shoe upper

Connecting

Each pair of our uppers is crafted from beginning to end by a single artisan. This guarantees a precise and accurate semi-finished product, perfect in the smallest details, whether it is visible or not

Assembling

The shoe takes shape in this stage. This is done mostly by hand, with pliers, hammer and nails, just like the handmade tradition demands

Artisan stitching the sole of a bespoke shoe in the workshop

Preparation, stitching, and flattening of the sole

Before and after the stitching of the sole, many tasks are necessary to bring to completion the creation of a reliable and comfortable shoe. They are very specific tasks, crucial in making the product unmistakably unique

Polishing

All our shoes are polished using only the best creams. The final result is a clean shoe that shines naturally.

At Bondeno, we honor this investment by refusing to compromise on materials or method, delivering a final product that is as durable as it is refined. We look forward to crafting your unique legacy, one step at a time.
