THE ASTORFLEX STORY

Family-Made Shoes With Over 200 Years Of Experience

The Astorflex shoe factory was founded in 1820 in the small town of Castel d’Ario, Mantova, Italy. The same town where our facilities are still located and owned by the same family. The first factory produced handmade footwear and wooden solos.

After the First World War, at the outset of industrialisation, the small Fratelli Travenzoli concern started producing more different types of footwear using the ideal method — the same method we still use as a base in most of our shoes.

Generations Of Knowledge And Passion In Every Shoe

Fabio’s father Alfredo took over the reins of Astorflex with his brother Bettino after their father Daniele and grandfather Ferdinando. Everyone who works at Astorflex is part of the extended family, building the legacy and dedication to shoemaking onwards.

Since 1820, the knowledge, the know-how, and the passion of making shoes has been passed on from generation to generation and can be seen in every shoe we produce. Astorflex shoes are created for life — make them yours.
