UPDATE: After 40 years of crafting leather, I am retiring –
I was twelve years old the first time I stepped into my grandfather’s workshop. I didn’t know anything about shoes back then. But I liked the smell of the leather, the sound of tools, and how quiet he worked. I didn’t talk much — I just watched him. I felt calm there.
When I was twenty-four, I decided to become a shoemaker. I gave up other jobs and started learning full time. It wasn’t easy. My hands got sore, and I made a lot of mistakes. But I stuck with it. Every shoe taught me something new. Slowly, it began to feel right.
In my late thirties, I started keeping notebooks with drawings and ideas. I wanted to make shoes that lasted — strong, simple, and made with care. Not fast fashion, not factory-made. Just honest shoes, for real people. That’s when it started to feel like my work.
By the time I was fifty-two, I had regular customers. Some would bring old shoes to fix, others just stopped by to talk. I listened to their stories, and it made the work feel more real. I wasn’t just making shoes — I was part of someone’s life.
At sixty-four, I finally made a sign: “Handmade Italian Leather Shoes.” I set up a stall in the village square. No fancy setup — just my boots, a small table, and me. People came. They tried the shoes, asked questions, smiled. And I felt proud of what I had built.
Now I’m seventy. I still make shoes, just not as many. Some days I work. Some days I sit outside the shop and enjoy the sunshine. I have time now for my grandchildren, for walks, for quiet mornings. I still love this craft — but I also enjoy just being here.
These shoes carry a piece of my life.
Each pair has a bit of story in it.
Thanks for walking by — and maybe walking away with something made with heart.

Hi, I’m Matteo. For 39 years, I’ve been handcrafting leather shoes, pouring my time, care, and quiet joy into every pair. Each shoe begins at my bench—where I lean in, adjust, refine, and listen for the subtle give of the leather that tells me it’s just right.
Over nearly four decades, I’ve learned that true beauty springs from patience, purpose, and heart. These aren’t merely shoes; they’re a piece of my story, shaped one stitch at a time.
I’m confident these final handcrafted shoes will carry you through countless moments.
But if they don’t feel right, just reach out—I'll make it right with a full refund, no questions asked.

The leather is buttery soft yet holds its shape. These men's leather shoes feel like they were made just for me. I get compliments every time I wear them.
After chatting with Matteo's help line, I ordered these shoes. They fit perfectly right out of the box, no breaking-in pain.
I stand 10+ hours a day and these leather shoes keep my feet supported. The sole has just enough give without feeling flimsy.
I expected good quality, but unboxing exceeded my expectations. The packaging, smell of real leather, and weight all speak to premium value.
The design is timeless. Matteo's advice on the color helped me pick the right pair of shoes for my suits.
Usually leather takes weeks to soften. These broke in within days and are already part of my rotation.
Took them on a business trip; they stayed comfortable during airport runs and long meetings. No scuffs, still look sharp.
I can wear them from morning coffee to evening events without foot fatigue.
Bought them for my brother and he was blown away. He says they feel luxurious and have solved his old shoe problems.
The stitching, the hardware, the subtle grain of the leather — everything feels carefully considered.
Spilled coffee on them and they dried without damage. The finish repels moisture better than any other pair I’ve owned.
I had sizing doubts, but Matteo walked me through measurements. The shoes arrived and the fit was spot on.
Between style and comfort, this is my best purchase. Matteo’s suggestions made all the difference in choosing the right shoes.
Putting on these shoes gives me a boost. Matteo’s design details make them feel both modern and sturdy.
After months of daily use, the leather still looks great and the sole shows minimal wear. These are truly built for longevity.
I've always believed that a good pair of shoes should stand the test of time, and Matteo Shoes do just that. The exceptional quality is clear from the first step. A worthwhile investment!
These shoes exceeded my expectations. The leather is soft and the quality is unmatched. They only get more comfortable with time!
The perfect leather shoes. The attention to detail is amazing. These will last me a lifetime. Thrilled with my purchase!
This is my second purchase and I’m just as impressed. Durable, stylish, and worth every penny. Highly recommend!
