Enzo Bonafe Handmade Shoes.

[Reero]

Yes very small considering other manufacturers, I also visited Mario Bemer, Stefanos brother while I was in Florence but he only makes Goodyear construction and I still Love Enzo Bonafe's shoes, they will make you anything so it's difficult to see what you want because they allow you to choose a last and style and make changes to anything thay have, in other words they do not have a line of shoes so what they make you is unique. I was reading something yesterday I did not no, Enzo the father who is now 80 trained under what he refers to as his master Testoni, now in business for 50 years his wife and son Mossimo, and daughter are all involved in crafting some of the finest shoes still made by hand. They make more Goodyear but for 100 euros more you can have Norweigen great pricing I'll send some pics I took while there, especially and new pair of alligator in cordovan color with braided Norweigen whole piece amazing.

I just ordered my first Enzo Bonafe shoes. They are on the 2102 soft chiseled last. Which shoe trees do you gentlemen use and/or recommend?

Where did you order them from thanks Lorenzo, I use Nordstrom shoe trees if you have a RACK near you.

I ordered them from Skoak. Do the Nordstrom shoes trees fit well?

EDIT

My Enzo Bonafe wholecuts are on the 946 last. I used some Kent Wang shoe trees in them and I think they work pretty well. The Kent Wang trees are flatter in the forefoot area compared to the typical Woodlore or Rochester trees, yet have more height for the instep area, so I felt that the overall shape worked better for the Bonafes.

Good to know. Thank you for your help.
