Hestaflex Boat Shoe

Story

Boat shoes with an Italian pedigree

Astorflex has handcrafted shoes in their Northern Italian workshop for six generations, so when they introduced their take on a boat shoe, we had to get our hands on it. Made from soft bovine suede with a cushioned crepe sole, the Hestaflex Boat Shoe is built for way more than just dock life. We’re thinking rooftop cocktails and passport-stamped escapes for starters.

About Astorflex

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 loafers 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 a while 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.
