Please note: this item resides in Finland but my feedback score if flawless. Shipping to FR would cost 24 euros. Outside EU borders​,​ the rates vary greatly - do contact me for a quote before bidding. Any questions at all​,​ please send a message. I aim to serve. Do have a look at my other goodies​,​ I collect classic men's clothing and always have something interesting to sell. * * * Sutor Mantellassi is a well-regarded shoe factory that's specialised in distinctively Italian models. Most of all they are known for decorative stitching that requires plenty of hand work​,​ such as featured on this pair. These monks have single buckles​,​ decorative Norvegese-welt stitching​,​ and a skin-stitch on the front. This pair is older make from the time before Sutor re-designed its look​,​ and added blue sole colour as well as a new logo. The quality of make is as high. The soles have a size marking of 9​,​ which is 43 in EU-sizing. The last is narrow​,​ though​,​ so these may best fit a size 42. The soles have scratches from trying them on​,​ otherwise they are like new. The uppers are calfskin with a mottled colour​,​ the toe is chiseled​,​ the pair has a Norvegese-welt construction​,​ leather lining and insole. A similar pair cost 950 euros new.
