Since 1820, the same family in Northern Italy has been handcrafting Astorflex shoes and boots. The Greenflex boot is based on a chukka boot design that was favored by soldiers fighting in the deserts of Northern Africa during WWII and style icons like Steve McQueen. Each boot starts with premium European-sourced leather that aged for 30 days in a mixture of water, oak bark, and powdered mimosa — no chemicals involved. It is then softened with all-natural ingredients that produces an ultra-supple suede and finished with 100% natural rubber soles for unmatched comfort. As Astorflex footwear runs big, we recommend sizing down an entire US shoe size.
