Materials
Full-grain leather on the upper, the top layer of the hide, uncorrected and uncoated, so it takes on patina instead of cracking. Cherry-red soft-leather lining, edge to edge. Soft leather, not suede.
Construction
Goodyear-welted. The sole is stitched to the upper through a leather welt rather than glued, which is exactly what lets it be taken apart and resoled. Studded rubber outsole for grip on wet stone and city grit.
Heel and silhouette
Two inch stacked leather heel. Moc-toe. Side-zip and lace, so it is easy on and holds the ankle once it is on.
Care and resole
Wipe with a damp cloth and condition the leather now and then. When the outsole eventually wears, any quality cobbler can stitch on a fresh one. The collection is built to be repaired; Florence is the one made to be resoled again and again.
The make

You pay for the welt, not the logo.

The Florence is Goodyear-welted, the construction used in the finest dress shoes for over a century. The sole is stitched to the upper through a leather welt rather than glued. It is slower to build, and it is the reason the boot lasts. That is where the money goes: into the make, not a name stamped on the side.

The lining

The signature is on the inside.

A cherry-red soft-leather lining, edge to edge. It is the one note of color in an otherwise quiet object, and it is the same red inside every Fabbruccio. Soft leather rather than suede, so it breathes and softens with wear.

Made to last

Built to be resoled, and kept.

When the outsole finally wears, the welt lets a cobbler stitch on a fresh one rather than replacing the boot. The whole collection is made to be repaired. Florence is the one made to be resoled again and again, the heirloom of the line.

Questions
What makes Florence worth $1,695?
Florence features Goodyear welt construction—a labor-intensive process requiring 200+ steps and specialized craftsmen. This allows the boots to be resoled indefinitely, lasting decades instead of seasons. The premium Dainite outsoles, hand-stitched moc-toe, and full-grain leather construction create an heirloom piece that actually costs less per wear than cheaper boots replaced every year.
What is Goodyear welt construction and why does it matter?
Goodyear welting is a 19th-century bootmaking technique where the upper, insole, and outsole are stitched together through a leather welt. This creates exceptional durability and allows the boots to be professionally resoled multiple times, extending their life for decades. It's the gold standard in quality footwear construction.
How does the sizing run?
True to size, so order your usual US size, half sizes included. Built on a wider last (wider calf, wider ankle, deeper toe box), so if you are between sizes, size up. The welt is firm on day one and softens as it molds to your foot over the first 20 to 30 hours of wear. Exchanges are free.
When will it ship?
The Florence is made to order and ships in 4 to 6 weeks on most sizes. Free US shipping, no minimum. Every pair arrives in protective packaging with a care card.
What if I do not love them?
Wear them, walk in them, decide over 60 days from delivery. If they are not for you, send them back with free return shipping, no questions asked. Free US shipping both ways.
