A sixth-generation, family-owned, Italian brand; Astorflex have been creating artisanal crepe-soled footwear since the turn of the 19th century. At their core, Astorflex believe in a sustainable approach to production and utilise only the finest leather, suede and natural crepe rubber sole.
The Astorflex Greenflex is the brand’s signature model and is a timeless take on the traditional desert boot first worn by British soldiers stationed in Cairo during WWII.
The story of The Original Playboy shoes began in 1936 when English shoemaker Hutton in Northampton created a completely new shoe with a unique and patented crepe sole construction. The ‘Play-Boy’, as it was originally called. The construction was based on a thick 100% natural crepe sole attached to the upper, a signature piping sewn all around the shoe and an inch-high crepe foxing to complete the shoe.
An iconic, and timeless, classic that has since been worn by royalties, legendary Hollywood actors, jazz musicians, rockabillies, hip-hoppers and a host of other good people around the world.
