Classic horsebit loafer handcrafted in Northern Italy
The Clampflex Horsebit Loafer is Astorflex’s modern take on an iconic Italian style. Handmade in their workshop in Northern Italy—which has been run by the Travenzoli family for seven generations—these loafers feature a sleek, streamlined profile that complements the luxurious horsebit detailing. It’s built from a premium bovine leather that will age well with wear, with a leather and rubber sole that prevents slippage while retaining a clean finish.

About Astorflex
Nestled in the small Northern Italian town of Castel D’ario (Mantova) since the 19th century, Astorflex is a family-run footwear brand that’s been elevating the category for six generations. From suede desert boots to leather chukkas, each custom-made style is hand-built to the Travenzoli family’s legendary standards. In fact, when we first discovered their criminally underrated chukkas a while back, they shipped each order with a box of pasta from their family-run restaurant. We quickly learned that 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 Astorflex does.
