Bontoni Chelsea boots cognac-dark brown gradient with elaborate polish

Item No.: Sch00403

Description

Never more than 12 pairs of shoes per day. This is an iron law at Bontoni. Owner Franco Gazzani relies on limitations, because only time, leisure and care turn a welted shoe into a real Bontoni. And that demands connoisseurship, a joy in perfection, a sense of exclusivity beyond all fashionable attitudes.

Time, passion and the highest level of craftsmanship are essential at Bontoni. A luxury example by the Italian masters alone requires 300 work steps and 100 hand-set stitches. The most important basis: the excellent leather. Carefully selected and controlled, no cracks or fissures must disturb the evenness of the raw material. The company has specially trained employees for this task who, with an expert eye and a lot of experience, check which leather is suitable. But the soul of the shoe is the last, which is individually adapted to the wearer's foot. It determines the fit. The shoe is individually constructed using the perfect last. What is missing is the coloring and polish that the experts from Montegranaro are famous for. Bontoni shoes are generally made from undyed leather and then colored and polished by hand. This handwork takes hours during which the masterpiece acquires its patina. No two pairs are the same, every Bontoni shoe is ultimately unique.
Discerning customers receive the exclusive Italian shoes in various designs - from the classic Goodyear Welted construction to the Blake Rapid. In particular, the sophisticated Norvegese style with its 360 or 180 degree hand-stitched seams immediately catches the eye of knowledgeable shoe lovers.

SOBS Cologne

 

The SOBS company was founded in Cologne in 1995.

After a successful first few years, in 2003 we moved to the 200m² large, inviting premises at Hahnenstraße 10 in the heart of Cologne city center. Since then, the shop has been easily accessible between Neumarkt and Rudolfplatz, near Mittelstrasse. The modern and luxuriously furnished rooms provide the perfect setting to present the first-class products.

Owner Oliver Brose has made it his mission to only stock the highest quality Italian fashion brands for men. The aim is to interpret classic and handmade Italian men's fashion in a modern and contemporary way.

In this luxury segment, the SOBS store offers a selection that is almost unique in Germany. In addition to the luxury range of over 25 brands, service and customer satisfaction are of utmost importance in the owner-managed business. Individual customer advice, custom-made products and changes are offered in the in-house studio upon customer request.

In 2012, with the launch of SOBS' own internet shop, customers were offered the opportunity to purchase luxury items conveniently and easily online.

SOBS men's fashion is considered a unique institution in Cologne and beyond the borders of the Rhineland with a distinctive interior and a unique range of brands.
