What is Sacchetto Shoe Construction?
Crafted Flexibility at Its Finest
The Sacchetto Construction is a premium shoe stitching technique rooted in our rich Italian heritage. It focuses on creating a shoe design that both looks and feels incredible. In essence, Sacchetto translates to "little bag," meaning these shoes feel like slippers but look stylish enough to wear outside the house. Intrigued yet?
How Are Sacchetto Shoes Made?
Unlike the standard technique of wrapping the upper around a rigid insole, the Sacchetto Construction involves stitching the upper to a supple piece of lining to form a "sock-like" sack. A soft piece of foam is then inserted for additional comfort, and the sole is stitched on to complete the shoe. This unique construction results in shoes that are exceptionally soft and flexible underfoot.
By positioning the stitching at the very edge of the shoe, we avoid any discomfort from irritating seams. This method also enhances the shoe's flexibility, giving it an "already worn in" feel from the moment you put it on.
How does the Sacchetto Construction feel?
As one of many types of shoe construction methods, the Sacchetto Construction gives our shoes a unique softness, without compromising the structure. The lining, made from a single piece of soft leather, covers the whole foot - enveloping it like a bag.
What Sets Sacchetto Construction Apart?
Traditional shoemaking often involves insoles, glue, and metal attachments, which require rigid fixing. These elements can reduce a shoe's flexibility, softness, and overall wearability.
In contrast, Sacchetto Construction eliminates these rigid components, resulting in shoes that are as soft and flexible as slippers while maintaining the look of your favorite stylish shoes.
Sacchetto shoes are light and flexible, allowing for more natural foot movement, making them ideal for walking or wearing for long hours. The absence of synthetic insole fabrics or glues also enhances breathability, ensuring your feet stay comfortable and fresh.
