Story
Super-comfortable Chelsea boots, handcrafted in a 7th-generation Italian workshop
Chelsea boots got their name from a stylish neighborhood in London where they were popular in the ‘50s and ‘60s. But this pair isn’t from London—it hails from a low-key Italian workshop that we consider one of the best kept secrets in footwear. Handmade in Northern Italy by a family that's been making boots for seven generations, these slip-on boots are handsome as hell and represent one of the best values on the market.

About The Brand
When you take top-grade, eco-conscious leather sourced from Tuscany’s master tanneries and pair it with the meticulous art of Italian craftsmanship, you get nothing short of an Astorflex shoe. Nestled in the small Northern Italian town of Castel D’ario (Mantova) since the 19th century, Astorflex is a family endeavor that’s been elevating the shoe game for six generations. From suede desert boots to everyday leather chukkas, each custom style is handbuilt to the Travenzoli family’s legendary standards. In fact, when we first discovered their criminally underrated chukkas awhile back, they shipped each order with a box of pasta from their family-run restaurant! Basically, any shoemaker can put Italian leather on rubber soles and call it a day, but few can turn those same materials into a walking work of art. And that’s just what Astroflex does. For your next pair of go-tos, you’ve come to the right place.
