Sizing and fit
The fit that someone prefers is very subjective, but a rather snug fit from the start is generally ideal. The leather will stretch, and adapt to the shape of your feet.
Make sure that you fill out your shoes completely at the widest part of your shoe, since you will get a lot of excess creasing if this area is too spacious.
You want to have a bit of excess space inside the toe box since that area won't adapt to your feet due to the hard counters in the toe cap.
Lace the shoes properly when trying your shoes. This will prevent your heels from sliding up and down. The lacing of the shoe should preferably not be fully closed, as this won't allow you to tighten the laces. The size of the opening varies from person to person, but it should be between 0.5-1.5 centimeters open.

A last is a plastic or wooden mold that will give the shoe its shape. The piece of leather is pulled over the last, and is then left to form after it. A wider last equals a wider shoe, and vice versa.

Production and Materials
All of our shoes are produced in (Naples) Italy. We mainly have a factory for our dress shoes and another for our casuals, with a few exceptions.
We have our factories carefully to ensure they produce all shoes with a high attention to detail.
That depends on how you are planning on wearing your shoes.
The leather sole gives a classic, slightly thinner and more elegant look but will wear out a bit faster. Especially
when subjected to a wetter climate.
The half rubber sole will last a bit longer and will also protect you better worn in wet conditions. It still gives an elegant look, while being a bit more robust.
