Over the years, the trainer, formerly a simple gym shoe, has established itself as an integral part of modern casual ware. Available today in a myriad of shapes and styles, the trainer adorns the feet of both women and men and has even begun making its mark in business environments. This is hardly surprising, since trainers are extremely comfortable everyday companions.
Model No. 43 MS from our »Italian Line« is no exception. The roomy last offers enough space to average-sized feet, while the soft footbed provides additional wearing comfort for these men’s shoes. Made by hand in Tuscany, the beloved lace-up shoe is further distinguished by its velvety nubuck leather, which is breathable and flexible by nature.
When it comes to design, we concentrate on the classic models of gym shoe design, for which our plain men’s trainer is the perfect example. The only playful detail is the hint of captoe stitching under the open seven-eyelet lacing. Both the lacing and the reinforced heel cap support the stability of the shoe. The light grey synthetic sole contrasts subtly with the dark blue nubuck leather and, due to its minimal thickness, makes the shoe particularly light – and not only visually.
The blue men’s trainers from our »Italian Line« are not only suited for sporty or casual occasions. As an elegant interpretation of a former gym shoe, it is also possible to wear them in an office with a less formal dress code.
‘Trainer’ is a catchall term that refers to athletic shoes. These types of shoes were first produced in America in 1860. Known for their flexible rubber soles, these comfortable shoes were originally created for track and field events. Trainers have been popular everyday shoes since the 1960s. Today they are available in all kinds of forms and colours—the trainers in our collection, for instance, are special premium models.
The trainer last is very similar to the sporty last — it also ensures wearing comfort at the ball of the foot. This type of last is distinguished by a gently rounded toe cap, flat instep and roomy overall width. Suitable for average-width feet.
Processed nubuck is a particularly fine type of rough leather, and has short fibres. Taken from the grain side of calf hide, nubuck is velvety, soft, and resistant to dust. It is correspondingly easy to care for—simply brush the leather regularly with a suede brush.
The models in this collection are the products of traditional Tuscan handicraft. These dreamy, Blake-stitched shoes are made from the finest leathers, and boast truly stylish designs. 100% made in Italy.
Mass-produced shoes are glued together on assembly lines. All of our premium, full-leather shoes, on the other hand, are handcrafted to the finest standards of quality. You can see and feel the difference.
Of course, our focus is on your new pair of shoes. But to underline our passion for our products, we enclose a few extras in your shipment. We hope that sparks your excitement about your new footwear.
Our passion for our products is reflected in their packaging. All of our shoes come in an elegant green shoebox emblazoned with the SHOEPASSION.com logo. Furthermore, it is easy to grab, thanks to a special opening on the side, and comes with a few thoughtful details.
These shoes come stored inside two shoe bags, packed into a shoebox. Shoe bags are a great way to maintain their condition—they protect your footwear from soiling and scratching. They also let you transport your shoes in style.
Goodyear-welted shoes last far longer than mass-produced models. A dedicated cleaning and care routine is an indispensable part of keeping your shoes in mint condition. An introductory guide to shoe care is included with your order.
SHOEPASSION - ONE STEP FURTHER
While most of our peers in the shoe industry are still unable to guarantee shoes that are »made in the EU«, we’re able to prove that our shoes are just that. We use leather from France and Germany, manufacture our shoes in Spain, and run distribution and logistics in Germany—our shoes are 100% made in Europe.
For many companies, all that matters are the profits; they fail to take notice of the disastrous conditions under which hides are taken in Bangladesh, or shoes are manufactured in China. We turn instead to traditional European tanneries and Spanish craftsmanship, to the benefit of man and nature alike.
Our promise: since you’re purchasing directly from the manufacturer, you’re spared the typical high margins. You’re also spared the additional cost of paying for a brand name. Thanks to our advantageous wide reach and our low cost structure, we’re able to offer sensationally low prices.
From the provenance and treatment of the leather we use, to the conditions in our Spanish factory, to delivery with our logistics partner, we don’t leave any stone unturned. We provide copious, transparent information on every step in our supply chain.
SHOEPASSION.com was founded by a pair of shoe lovers, and each and every employee focuses on satisfying our shoe-loving customers. Whether it’s graphic design, sales, marketing, editorial, or customer service, we handle all aspects of our business internally, ensuring our total control over all processes. We’re also owner-managed.
Your opinion is important to us; that’s how we define our business. If you’d like to express your satisfaction with our products and services, let us know. You can read reviews from other customers as well as experts in the shoe industry on the SHOEPASSION.com site. Your satisfaction is our top priority!
Lots of brands are quick to conceal the production methods behind their products, as well as the origins of the materials they use. We, on the other hand, have nothing to hide. From the very beginning, our products have been »Made in the EU«, in the classic sense. As such, we treat both our fellow man and the natural environment in a way that’s ecologically sustainable and ethically responsible. Each step on our supply chain is entirely transparent for you to see—that’s a promise we’re happy to stand by.
