Explore the shoes behind the craft.
Top grain Italian leather is firm at first, which is a sign of quality, not a flaw. Over the first several wears, the leather will mold precisely to the shape of your foot, resulting in a fit that no off-the-shelf shoe can replicate.
To ease the break-in process, every pair of Nunzio Orsini shoes includes a complimentary shoe horn. Use it at each wear to protect the heel counter, preserve the leather's shape, and ease your foot in gently as the shoe learns to move with you.
We recommend wearing your shoes for a few hours at a time during the first week rather than a full day, allowing the leather to gradually adjust.
Always use your shoe horn: inserting your foot without one gradually collapses the heel counter. Rotate pairs and allow at least 24 hours between wears, wipe down with a soft cloth, and insert cedar shoe trees to maintain shape and absorb moisture.
Top grain leather develops a rich patina that deepens with age. Apply a quality leather conditioner every 4–6 weeks and a matching cream polish as needed. Avoid silicone-based products, which dull the finish over time.
Apply a water-resistant spray before first wear. If your shoes get wet, dry them naturally at room temperature, never with direct heat. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, in the signature Nunzio Orsini box or a breathable shoe bag.
