A traditional handcrafting process, Tramezza represents the ultimate in men’s handcrafted footwear. The procedure entails a thick yet flexible layer of leather (as opposed to more widely used cork) being skillfully sandwiched between the insole and the sole, like a cushion. The name of this extra sole is tramezza [meaning literally ‘something in-between’] and offers long-lasting form, comfort, and perfect bonding of sole and upper, and becomes the defining feature of the shoe. The highly complex construction process carried out in the Salvatore Ferragamo workshops has 260 separate, standardized phases requiring over six hours work by an expert shoemaker and over four days shaping of the upper on a last.
