I'd be curious to know if there is any update on who makes RLPL made-in-Italy shoes or boots.

I have a pair of Moreschi cap-toes and they are very elegant and light as a feather. However, the general opinon appears to be that Gravati are slightly better.

3. A. Testoni also make very sleek Blake-welted shoes. In North America, you often used to find them 'made for' high-end department stores or men's shops (you probably still can).

Testoni also makes some high quality Goodyear and Norwegian constructed shoes . Today they are the Amedeo Testoni line. A few years, the Black Label line was the high quality line. Today most of the Black Label is damn near junk.
