For sale: Bespoke shoes by RICCARDO FRECCIA Bestetti, the pinnacle of men's footwear. These are a rare and exceptional pair made from elephant leather. This model, crafted from exotic elephant leather, has a captivating aura. The size is approximately 7.5. The actual dimensions are about 29.4 x 10.6 cm. As the images show, these are bespoke shoes made with the characteristic hand-sewn construction combined with wooden pegs, a signature of the maker. These are contemporary works of art, created without compromise, encompassing the highest quality materials, the skill of experienced artisans, the pursuit of beautiful form, and the ultimate in comfort. Hand-sewn construction allows the shoes to conform to the foot with incredible ease. The beveled waist and its contoured shape create an elegant silhouette. These are the finest shoes, only achievable through hand-sewn welt construction. The elegant shape and beautiful silhouette will elevate any dress style. Unfortunately, the maker has passed away, making this pair, made by him during his lifetime, a valuable item. "Riccardo Bestetti" is a name that is not widely known to the general public. However, he is a craftsman's craftsman, known among many bespoke shoemakers in Europe. His background, having learned the basics of shoemaking from an American Western bootmaker, is also intriguing, and the shoes he creates are full of originality. While not necessarily precise, they possess an overwhelmingly unique atmosphere and feel. If you consider shoes as "containers for the feet," there is no shape that fits better than this. The exterior is sculpted, the interior is built up, the asymmetrical ridges that rise towards the instep, and the deeply carved arch are all remarkably executed. Moreover, not only on the inside, but also from the bulge on the little toe side (outside) towards the heel, the shoe tapers sharply. Even when turned over, the impression is striking, and the overall impression is extremely noble. The wooden pegs, driven in by hand one by one, convey the warmth of handcraftsmanship. The design is also unique, and you can feel the passion for shoemaking in every detail. These shoes are also listed on other sites, so please forgive me if they sell out. I also have John Lobb, Edward Green, Crockett & Jones, and other shoes for sale, so please take a look if you are interested. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions. Thank you.
