Suede
Suede, commonly known as suede, is a highly prized and distinctive type of leather, famous for its incredible softness and velvet-like texture. This material does not derive from chamois leather, as the name might suggest, but is the result of a meticulous and refined manufacturing process.
Initially, the outer surface of the skin is gently removed. What remains is the underlying layer, which is then subjected to tanning, dyeing and finally sanding. This process not only guarantees the durability and resistance of the material but also enhances its appearance, giving it that characteristic soft and matte finish that makes it so appreciated in high fashion and in the production of luxury footwear.
Suede is therefore a style choice for those seeking a balance between elegance and comfort, offering a touch of timeless class to every item in which it is used.
Leather with non-slip rubber clip
The leather sole represents a perfect fusion between tradition and innovation, embodying the excellence of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Leather, chosen for our soles, is a material that boasts unparalleled resistance and durability, characteristics that remain unchanged over time. Furthermore, the natural aging process of leather only increases its beauty, giving each shoe a unique and personal charm.
The Ciccone leather sole stands out for an innovative feature: the integration of non-slip rubber clips, injected directly into the leather. This technological measure guarantees a secure hold on any surface, while preserving the natural breathability of the leather. Thanks to this innovation, Ciccone leather soles adapt perfectly to modern life, offering an elegant solution for those who want to combine classic style with everyday practicality, without worrying about unexpected events such as rain.
Each Ciccone leather sole is therefore more than a simple component of a shoe; it is the heart of an experience of comfort and beauty that is enriched day after day, step by step.
Blake Rapid processing
The Blake Rapid process was invented by Lyman Reed Blake in 1858 and immediately achieved great success, especially in Italy where it is still among the most used processes today. Its genius lies in the double "Blake" stitching that joins the upper, insole, lining and midsole, while the "Rapid" puts the midsole and sole together, increasing the shoe's resistance and waterproofness.
