    Hi everyone, I was brainstorming with a friend on what I could do to incentivise reviews of Velasca shoes on Styleforum, and we came up with the idea of offering a 20% discount on any orders in the month of April in exchange of reviews on this thread. Just to be completely transparent, I'm...

    Velasca Shoes

    Hi everyone, thank you for sharing your feedback on our shoes. I'll reply in order: Uneven stitching We're always trying to improve on the evenness of the stitching on our shoes, and even though they sometimes come out uneven as in the above picture, I can assure you that that is more an...

    Hi @starro thank you for your question Yes indeed, we use a premium box calf leather called 'Vocalu - vitello francese' for our black and brown oxford models and we source it from a tannery in Italy (I'd rather not mention names here but I can assure you that all are leathers come from...

    Hi @dresstokill and @patliean1 Thank you for your question! I've checked with my team and it was a copywriting mistake on the website (now corrected): we chose to use the polished binder leather in accordance with the design expertise of our friend Fabio Attanasio of The Bespoke Dudes I...

    Velasca Shoes

    Hi guys, Thank you for the pictures and for your precious feedback! We chose to use polished binder leather for some of our models because of its shinier look as opposed to the full grain leather we use on our oxfords shoe models. It's the same leather used by the shoe brand Church's on...

    You're welcome! Yes the length follows the same guidelines as the shoe model "Artista" ;) I'd love to see your pictures here if you decide to purchase them: the other ones look really good! Best, Enrico

    Velasca Shoes

    @NOBD Thanks for the message, they are actually built on a different last that we've used on all the derby shoe models as well as the upcoming chelsea and derby boots ;) It's rounder and slightly wider (maybe you can see it more clearly on the photos from above). I'd still recommend the...

    Velasca Shoes

    Hi Zapasman, thank you for asking. The vast majority of our shoes show both the Blake (Black is a copywriting error that I've just corrected) stitching and the Rapid stitching in their construction which allows for re-soling in the future, just like any Goodyear welted shoe. Some models in our...

    Good choice ;) I would definitely recommend a size 42 Velasca for the Artista. I've just checked and it's available in stock, therefore it can be shipped tomorrow via FedEx Express and be with you within 2 business days. I hope I helped! Best regards, Enrico

    Velasca Shoes

    Hi @NOBD , thank you for your questions; I'd say that our lasts (especially the ones we use for our oxfords and ankle boots) accomodate a regular foot. Ankle boots in particular are perfect for feet with a high instep, as they show open lacings. We do not currently offer different widths, but we...

    Velasca Milano Shoes - Meermin competitor?

    Thank you for your suggestions and questions, all duly noted! Our shoes are indeed lighter than their GoodYear equivalent, although not as light as single-stitched shoes; I'd say it's a good compromise between sleek style and comfort. All the best, Enrico
