From Castel d’Ario To The World
The family shoemaker from Northern Italy
Astorflex has been making shoes in Castel d’Ario, Mantova, since 1820. The same family knowledge still guides our work: choosing materials carefully, building with proven methods and keeping the factory close to every step of production. For 7 generations, since 1820, the Travenzoli family has been the backbone of our operations.
Crafted across generations
The factory has grown through generations without losing the direct relationship between hands, materials and purpose. Every pair still reflects the people who make them.
Carefully Chosen Materials
Materials are selected to be comfortable, as natural as possible, and age with the wearer. Natural textures, vegetable-tanned linings and durable constructions are part of the idea behind the shoes.
Made in Italy, what’s that?
For Astorflex, made in Italy means keeping the knowledge close to the place, the people and the production floor. It is not only a country-of-origin label, but a way of working. Each pair is fully made in house at Astorflex in Italy using carefully sourced materials in a factory still located in the same town where we started in 1820 — only a stone’s throw away from the original workshop.
Made in the same town
Castel d’Ario has remained the home of the factory since the beginning.
Built with inherited know-how
Every generation adds new thinking without replacing the craft.
Designed to be Worn
The shoes are made to be worn, cherished, and kept in rotation.
Created for life
Make them yours through everyday use.
