THE ART OF MAKING CANALI SHOES
The Shoe – is a shoe – is a shoe. And yet a shoe is so much more. Yes, it has a form and a function – but there is a weight to it. The shoe heralds your arrival, as if to say – ‘I AM HERE’.
The Shoe – is a shoe –
is a shoe. And yet a shoe is so much more. Yes, it has a form and a function –
but there is a weight to it. The shoe heralds your arrival, as if to say – ‘I
AM HERE’. Attention and appreciation follow close behind. Necessity belies its
structural significance. The shoe has many layers, many parts, many meanings. A
statement of infinite possibility. No – The Shoe – is not a shoe – is not a
shoe.
When it comes to the
making of a shoe, creativity, craftsmanship and technology come together in
perfect harmony. Guided by a pattern, pieces are cut out with the utmost
precision. The leather upper is then assembled by hand.
The shoe is built
around a last, providing support as the internal structure takes shape. Beneath
the seductive surface lies a core strength that makes each shoe as comfortable
and functional as it is compelling.
The upper finds its
sole through the process of Goodyear welting before entering the next phase of
their creation. Stitching the sole is a nod to the familiar visual language of
tradition, while attaching the heel is a step towards that all-important sense
of presence.
