The made to measure shoe is realized through the following
stages
which are very complex and entirely hand made:
The starting is, of course, the full measurement of the
two feet by
which we notice and report on paper all characteristics
and eventual
irregularities of the feet.
Based on this drawing we build the wooden shapes being
carefully
adapted to the above characteristics and irregularities.
This is a key stage as the final out come directly depends
on it. The
shoe will be made around this shape.
Subsequently we drow and cut the paper model on which
we then cut the
leather as per customer's preference. We then sew together
the various
pieces of leather. The result of this operation is the
upper that we
the assemble with the sole in leather.
The Calzoleria Petrocchi has always been realizing shoes
made through
the tecnique of "simple" or "reverse"
guàrdolo and with or without the
double sole.
Finally the heel is added on making use of various pieces
of leather
which are cut in the same shape and piled up one on the
other.
The Petrocchi shoes are now ready and can be taken out
of the wooden
shape around which they have been assembled.
But we can't do it straight farward, we still have to
let them rest for
same days in order to achieve the best result for our
custumer!
