Why is Italy famous for shoes?

Italy is famous for making the worldÕs best shoes because of excellent craftsmanship, shoe quality, and second-to-none style. Italians have been making beautiful footwear for centuries, durable yet fashionable, with precision and care at the heart of every step of the process. The long standing expertise of Italian shoemakers transcends generations as artisans have perfected their craft and then passed along their knowledge. These passionate professionals experiment and refine, inspired by the best of their heritage combined with todayÕs cutting-edge designs. They innately know what works well in handmade Italian shoes and then continue to innovate in extraordinary ways. At Italian Shoemakers, weÕre proud to be part of this shoemaking culture. Our stylish, high-quality shoes are exclusively made in Italy, produced in our facility nestled in the hills of Tuscany. Each pair is infused with Italian heritage, then given a metallic stamp to verify authenticity. Next, we ship them from our Italian shoe company to our USA headquarters in Miami, Florida.

Our Italian shoe company offers all of this at affordable prices, especially when you consider our footwearÕs durability and quality. As another benefit, our handmade Italian shoes are easy to maintain (more about that below, in How do you care for good quality shoes?).

How do I pick the right shoes?

No matter what kind of shoes you want and need, pick them from a trusted company, one that creates quality shoes and backs up that quality. Our Italian shoe company has been in business for 40 years, satisfying our customers with high quality and stylish footwear thatÕs also comfortable and affordable. Next, think about what types of shoes you want to order: strappy Italian sandals;, womenÕs;, to pair up with that perfect black dress; boots to keep you looking stylish during colder months; or sneakers, moccasins, loafers, or clogs. For the past 40 years, weÕve designed and produced high quality, stylish, comfortable, and affordable footwear, ranging from Italian sandals, womenÕs boots, and sneakers to clogs, moccasins, and more. We know what our customers want and thatÕs what we create: shoes produced from premium materials at an exceptional value. Make sure shoes are from a brand known for providing comfortable support from quality materials that allow your feet to breathe. All our shoes have an outstanding construction with all the support and comfort you need. Then, it can become a matter of taste. Envision where youÕll wear your shoes with what kinds of outfits. You may prefer a sleek and simple pair, such as our Asher Thong SandalsÑor Roby Italian Leather Boots with the perfect silhouette when wearing leggings or skirts. For added dazzle, you may choose our Marcia Elastic Wedge Sandals with rhinestones for touches of sparkle for a night out on the town. To pair with trousers, our Biana Italian Leather Clogs are the must-have shoe.

Is it better for shoes to be tight or loose?

Neither, actually! WhatÕs ideal: shoes that fit snugly without being too tight or too loose. When shoes are too tight, you literally wonÕt have wiggle room. This can lead to blisters and more. Feet can swell, shoes would pinch, and you just wouldnÕt feel comfortable. When shoes are too loose, they donÕt offer enough support and can also be uncomfortable. This can, unfortunately, lead to tripping and falling. Right-sized shoes comfortably accommodate each footÕs widest spot while securely staying in place. They also are long enough, heel to toe. Because feet can expand, especially on days that are warm or when youÕre standing or walking much of the day, it can sometimes make sense to go up half a size. Because we recognize the importance of wearing the right size, you can return ones that donÕt fit (or exchange them or receive a credit) for 30 days after the shipping date. For 60 days after that date, you can still exchange them for a gift card or store credit.

How do you care for good quality shoes?

First, after each wear, you can quickly and easily wipe them off, gently with a soft cloth. This will remove any dust or dirt that can get picked up off the ground. You donÕt need to dampen the cloth for this type of care. If there is something spilled on them, you can moisten the cloth first. If the shoes get wet, perhaps from rainfall or by stepping in a puddle, you can put them in a shady spot outdoors if the weather is warm. DonÕt put them in direct sunlight or use a hair dryer on them. From time to time, you may decide to apply appropriate conditioner. When you store them, you can slip a shoe tree inside, such as one crafted from cedar or poplar. Then, place them inside a fabric bag. To restore the original shine, buff the shoes with a soft cloth. As needed, you can sprinkle baking soda on the soles overnight to freshen them. In the morning, just shake the powder out.
