HELP ME find my dream shoes

[Quackerspaniel]

I was in Florence two years a go around new years and found a pair of the most amazing Italian Leather Shoes I have ever owened in my life. I bought them in some leather shop in the piazza santa croce. I have since warn them through.

I am looking to buy a new pair from this shoe maker but I am having trouble finding out how to get a hold of the maker.
The shoes are all leather. On the inside it says "Il Calzolaio". The box it came in was white and only said "Il Calzolaio".
I know they don't look like much now but when they were new they looked amazing.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I am having the same problem!
I came back from a trip to Italy, bought 2 pairs at a discount (40 and 60 Euros)
I love the shoes and thought I can locate the maker using google. Calzolaio just means "shoe maker"... (at least they are not lying to their clients about what they do for a living!!)

now: it is impossible for me to find any information about this brand...

If anybody has info, I hope it will be shared!

Tks!

but these are excellent price/quality, very good when u need to have good shoes to go to the office.

If they are good quality, why not just have them recrafted? Many people have had good luck with B. Nelson (B. Nelson Shoe Repair)
