When a fourth generation family of shoemakers encounters a historic figure of the made-to-measure, the result is bound to be a shoe that satisfies every requirement. This is what happened when Luca Nardini met the Florentine craftsmanship world. The same care and the same high quality leather (worked in the Santa Croce artisan quarter) are lavished on every pair of shoes, from ready-to-wear to bespoke. Various kinds of personalization are possible with their prêt-à-porter models, starting with materials and colours, to more radical structural modifications. As for measurements, the shoes are entirely handmade based on a wooden last modeled on the customer’s foot. The style? Classic/casual, also suitable for younger people.
