The Bite Magazine - Autumn/Winter 2022 - Issue 32

biteshoes All Santoni shoes are made from high-quality Pink leather, a name given to one-year calves, which are between the stages of calf and cow. They graze the alpine meadows in the Alps at altitudes of over 1,600 metres and are selected for a specific reason. Due to the temperature fluctuating between 30 degrees in the afternoon and -5 degrees at night, the skin devel- ops into a firm and robust structure; thus, the leather remains thin and supple enough to make high-quality shoes. Feel and look exquisitely elegant in the Orange and Blue Leather High-Heel Court Shoe that oozes con- temporary femininity with unparalleled savoir-faire. This style crafted from hand-shaded leather is in- spired by the brand’s rich artisanal heritage, charac- terised by a special treatment that gradually blends from blue to an ironic orange. It is completed with a tapered toe and a 10.5 cm stiletto heel enhanced with straps that envelope the foot and nod to Santo- ni’s signature double-buckle monk strap shoe. With the Black Leather Mid-Heel Lace-Up Ankle Boot, Santoni reinterprets the classic biker boot with an extra-special feminine twist. The boot is crafted from premium-quality leather and elevated with rib- knits inserts for a luxuriously cosy sensation during the colder months. It’s finished with a chunky rubber sole and block heel for a comfortable stride from morning to night. The Brown Leather Mid-Heel Brogue Sock Boot is similar in a rich hand-polished finish and ultra-premium quality leather. Try the Brown Shearling and Suede Mule or Penny Loafer for comfortable wear. The mule has a suede structure elevated with cosy shearling that gently embraces and protects the foot, while a buckled sad- dle strap with rounded edges completes the look. The loafer fuses tradition with modernity, updating the classic style with an innovative combination of luxurious materials. Its suede upper is enhanced with a shearling lining and apron, supported by a leather sole with a rubber lug toe. Excellent footwear for men includes the Polished Brown Leather Ankle Boot, a tapered silhouette with modern proportions and specific details. The boot is crafted from hand-distressed leather, embellished with S-shaped metal details and has an elevated up- per with a strap that wraps around the ankle. In a similar style, the Brown Suede Ankle Boot is craft- ed from luxuriously soft suede, while the Polished Burgundy Leather Ankle Boot, also crafted from hand-distressed leather, has a lightly squared-off toe.
