This boot from Astorflex is comfortable through and through. And as is usual for the Italian shoe manufacturer, vegetable-tanned leather is used: suede leather from Tuscan master tanneries for the upper, soft, smooth calfskin for the lining and insole. The crepe sole is made of pure natural rubber, which provides good cushioning. The rather soft, unlined cuff ensures a casual fit. It has triangular inserts at the sides, which make it quick to put on and take off. A characteristic feature of Astorflex is the so-called "ideal seam" along the edge of the sole, which gives the shoe flexibility and durability.

Astorflex’s origins date back to the 19th century. After World War I, 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 manufacturing shoes using the “Ideal Method,” in which a visible seam connects the upper to the insole, making the shoes particularly flexible, hard-wearing, and durable. Today, the future of Astorflex lies in the hands of Fabio Travenzoli, who consistently prioritizes high-quality materials in production. First-class Italian leather is used for the upper, sourced primarily from master tanneries in Tuscany. The lining and insoles are usually made of soft calfskin, vegetable-tanned in a solution of oak bark and mimosa. The outsoles are primarily made of natural rubber, and water-based adhesives are used. At Astorflex, the company is fully committed to the “good shoe,” as the phrase “La scarpa buona” in the shoe manufacturer’s logo promises.
