Luppolo Slide Elba/White Parm

A beautiful upper with two large bands of hand-woven leather to create a geometric motif that recalls the decorations of Greek columns give life to this sandal handmade in Italy with square toe, high flared heel for a gritty and the comfortable memory foam padding to never give up on comfort. Turn everyone's head as you step out tonight in Valentina Rangoni sandals featuring our hand crafted artisans! Taking care of the upper and leather soles is an important part of protecting the longevity and integrity of handcrafted luxury shoes. Shoes made in Italy, or shoes with leather soles, can last for years, but only if treated with care. It is important to note that an upper made of natural materials such as leather cannot last forever and that leather soles must be replaced at some point for the same reasons. Wearing shoes for too long on a worn sole can cause permanent damage to the shoe and also decrease its comfort. While there is no set rule for how regularly you should resole your Italian leather shoes (amount of wear, type of wear, water damage, and gait are all factors), a variety of signs help you know when it's time for a quick visit to your local shoemaker.
