According to the household- run European clothing maker, the company has launched its lightest dress shoe to- date via its new “Quick” collection. Weighing in at a mere 295 ounces, or 0.65 weight, Santoni’s fresh collection features some of the finest dress shoes on the market.
The company’s recent release comes as it redoubles its efforts to be innovative and to offer something new to its customers. In an interview with FN, Santoni’s CEO and president and executive chairman stated, “We wanted to combine two things that are frequently perceived as opposites: strength and lightness.” “Our goal was to make a ‘quick’ tone that blends convenience and classic elegance, suited to both work and leisure occasions.”
Mr. Santoni added that technology is a “very essential vital place” for the business. “For this reason, we’ll continue to innovate the manner we create boots thanks to the know- how of our craftspeople,” he said. The “Easy” category is a novel way of thinking about dress shoes, and it will undoubtedly grow with new color combinations in upcoming collections.
The new Easy collection includes five models, all of which are made of leather and covered suede, across a traditional Oxford lace-up, a triple lock, a loafer, a Chelsea shoe, and a plain boot.
The soles of the shoes have a smooth construction, and the personal Arancio Santoni and the Doubling graphic, an sophisticated understanding of the brand’s memorable Double Buckle logo, illuminate the soles. Additionally, a fresh hold pattern that was created to increase slip resistance and durability is introduced for the sole.
As for the covering, it’s made of soft perforated cowhide set, which offers comfort and helps to keep mobility, softness and lightness. Additionally, the ram insole is made of a special foam that combines firm elements like leather with softer and more flexible ones, including a part from Aloe Vera, to provide durability and comfort in a proper shoe.
An elastic system concealed in the upper, which makes the shoes comfortable to wear without fastening or unfastening laces, is another feature of the pair.
For now, Santoni’s latest “Easy” innovation is only reserved for the launching for fall/winter 2024. However, consumers might anticipate seeing it displayed throughout the company in coming seasons.
“Elegance and lightness have always been important aspects of Santoni products, so we want to incorporate this in the women’s collections with a product that embodies the same characteristics seen in Easy,” Santoni continued. “More news will definitely come in the next collections”.
This launch comes shortly after Santoni’s plans to expand its product line and add new locations in 2024.
