The most comfortable penny ever, really.....
Fresh from Italy the Santoni Tristan penny landed in the shop today. This shoe is the perfect example of Bologna constructed Italian loafer. What exactly is Bologna construction you ask? In Bologna construction, the upper is folded back upon itself and sewn into a sort of tube before it it put onto the last. After lasting, a soft insole is inserted, and the upper construction is stitched to the outsole in a manner similar to Blake construction (ie, the stitching will appear on the inside of the shoe). The resulting shoe, if it is done well, is slim and very flexible. Santoni is known for their Bologna construction, and lots of other Italian makers (including Ferragamo and Gravati) use it on some of their shoes, too. The sturdy yet incredibly soft construction results in the marriage of comfort and lasting quality you'd expect in high quality luxury Italian leather goods.
