Italian BUTTERO lace-up shoes. I purchased these approximately 15 years ago at BEAMS. I wore them about 5 times a year for several years. I haven't worn them much in the last 10 years and have kept them stored away. I wore them once on a rainy day. I dried them thoroughly before storing them, but I think there are some water stains. I regularly brush them, apply oil, and polish them, and I air them out. They were one of my favorite pairs, so I was hesitant to let them go, but I am selling them to organize my shoe collection. They are typical "ojisan" (middle-aged man) style leather lace-up shoes. I think they have a nice look. Please understand that these are used items before purchasing. I hope to connect with someone who will use them. ⚫︎Size: 37 (equivalent to 24.5cm) ⚫︎Color: Olive 　　　　　Has turned brown with age. There are no smokers or pets in the house where they were stored. Please refrain from price negotiations. [From the web] This pair is a modern arrangement of a traditional item called Italian cut shoes, which has a shallow toe and sole that curves upwards. The insole has a heel in the heel area, making them very easy to wear. There is elastic on the back of the tongue, so you can wear them even without tying the laces, and you can enjoy arranging them depending on your mood. They look great with pants, and also stylish with skirts or dresses. BUTTERO's headquarters is located in Stia, about 50 km west of Florence, in Tuscany, Italy, where olive groves and vineyards spread across vast rolling hills. Mauro Sani, the founder, launched the Mauro Sani brand in 1964, producing classic boots and short shoes. In 1972, he developed boots with side zippers that slanted forward, which were very popular. After that, he traveled to various places in search of product ideas, and he was most inspired by "Butteri" (meaning the cowboys of the Maremma region of Tuscany, the Italian version of American cowboys). In 1974, influenced by their style, Mauro Sani produced Western boots and riding boots and changed the brand name to BUTTERO. This year marks the de facto start of the BUTTERO brand.
