Via Montenapoleone is Milano's most famous street, world famous for being a parade of the top fashion and luxury shops. These slippers draw their name from how we Milanese familiarly call the street: "Montenapo".
So if you hear someone saying "Dai...andiamo in Montenapo!" it means "Come on...let's go for a stroll in Montenapoleone street!"
This style translates into slippers the elegance of stylish Italian loafers and its QUADRA last* was specifically designed to achieve this look ensuring the utmost comfort you expect from your slippers.
There is a unique attention to details, you may notice the dark brown leather profile that runs around the top part and creates a subtle contrast which makes the look special but in a discrete way. This detail is enhanced by the stitichings which are unusually short (a virtuoso technique from another time...) and also in dark brown.
At last you can relax at home in pure comfort without having to switch to shoes to preserve your elegance if you have visits, quite the contrary....you will be happy to exhibit your slippers with your best look! *a last is a foot shape around which footwear is made, its specific design determines not just the fit but also the the silhouette and look
These slippers are not only "Made in Italy" but still made by hand by artisans who work 20 miles from Milano in an area which is rooted into the tradition of luxury slippers Lurabo's philosophy is to maintain alive the unique skills of these craftsmen matching patient traditional construction and careful leather selection with the use of innovative materials which can improve comfort (e.g. shock absorbing compound for the heel area)
The upper is in qualitysoft nappa and to guarantee that the slippers fit and feel as soft as a glove we do NOT use any of those cheap materials that you find inside conventional slippers (fabrics, imitation leathers, pigskin, lower quality leathers etc), here both lining and insole are in Lurabo's natural nappa*
* this special leather will guarantee a natural environment for your feet as perspiration will be dissipated through the leather fibers . This is also the best way of preventing the development of those odours that you notice on shoes that use cheap leather covered with chemical top finishes or, even worse, synthetic imitation leather ! But it is not only about odours, it is also about not having burning feet, about feeling the pleasure of smooth leather etc.
