Do you know that even today the shoes are been sawn by
hands? Yes, the
Italians are still using the
traditional methods of shoemaking and tanning which indicates that good materials are used for the lining and uppers which are hand sewn. Even though such hand crafted shoes should cost higher than the shoes produced on a large scale using machinery, due to the severe competition from Far Eastern shoe makers who also offer hand crafted shoes, the Italians are forced to offer good quality shoes at cheaper prices without compromising on quality. Italian footwear is available also for women in several varieties such as full length boots, slip-ons, mid-calf boots, sandals, loafers and wedges.
