Story
Low-top hiking boot handcrafted in Italy from hardwearing cowhide
The Astorflex Forflex Low Hiker is a rugged, low-top take on a traditional hiking boot, equipped with many of the same details that made the style essential footwear for rough terrain. Handcrafted by expert artisans in Italy—at a workshop that has been making high-quality footwear for seven generations—it features premium cowhide leather that’s been vegetable-tanned, making an already durable material even more hardwearing. The boot features speed hooks for quick lacing, a lugged rubber sole for traction, and memory foam insoles for all-day comfort.

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.
