##Fabriqué à la main en Italie Nos chaussures de conduite sont fabriquées à la main à Montegranaro, dans la région des Marches au centre de l'Italie, par G.Bellesi, un maître artisan avec près d'un demi-siècle d'expérience dans la production de chaussures pour certaines des marques de luxe les plus renommées au monde. C'est un lieu intime, niché dans des collines pittoresques à deux pas de l'Adriatique, comptant un peu plus de 10 000 habitants. Montegranaro est devenu synonyme de qualité irréprochable en matière de chaussures pour hommes, le premier cordonnier de la région remontant au XIVe siècle. Bien que ce ne soit que dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle qu'elle soit devenue mondialement reconnue pour l'excellence dans l'industrie, les artisans locaux sont fermement enracinés dans les méthodes traditionnelles de fabrication perfectionnées au fil des siècles.

Craftsmanship

##Cuir de veau italien à tannage végétal, approvisionné à seulement cinq minutes de notre atelier Seul le plus beau cuir de veau italien à tannage végétal, de première sélection et pleine fleur, provenant de l'une des tanneries les plus prestigieuses de Montegranaro, est utilisé pour fabriquer nos chaussures de conduite classiques. Mieux encore, cette tannerie se trouve à seulement cinq minutes à pied de l'atelier de Germano, ce qui lui permet de toujours garantir que nos chaussures de conduite sont fabriquées avec le meilleur cuir de veau disponible. L'utilisation de ces matériaux supérieurs nous aide à garantir que nos chaussures de conduite offrent une souplesse flexible associée à un confort inégalé.

##Conçues pour la route : les chaussures de conduite parfaites. Les années 1960 ont vu la grande démocratisation mondiale de la possession automobile, et l'essor qui l'accompagnait de vêtements et chaussures conçus pour la route. La chaussure de conduite fit alors son apparition : légère, avec une bonne adhérence et répondant à un besoin, elle s'est rapidement imposée sur le marché du luxe. Fort de l'expérience d'une vie de Germano et des plus beaux cuirs italiens disponibles, nous avons conçu une chaussure artisanale qui offre le confort le plus doux, une adhérence sûre et tout le plaisir de conduire un roadster italien classique sur la route.

Handcrafted in Italy

Our driving shoes are handcrafted in Montegranaro, in the Marche region of central Italy, by G.Bellesi, a master artisan with nearly half a century’s experience producing footwear for some of the world’s most well known luxury fashion brands. It's an intimate place, nestled in scenic hills a stone's throw from the Adriatic numbering just over 10,000 inhabitants. Montegranaro has become synonymous with impeccable quality in men's shoes, with the first cobbler's in the area dating as far back as the 14th century. Though it was only in the latter half of the 20th century that it became world renowned for excellence in the industry, local artisans are firmly rooted in traditional methods of making honed over centuries.
