Ferragamo calfskin leather sneakers

Perhaps the patriarch of Italian shoemakers, Salvatore Ferragamo was the one who won over early 20th-century Hollywood with his comfortable shoe designs, while the company is probably best known now for its women’s pumps and ballet flats.

However, its men’s shoes are artisanal gold, especially the Oxfords. The shoemaker’s intertwining with fashion and ready-to-wear has also made it more forward-thinking than others, allowing it to develop modern twists on the classics, such as its chunky-soled Derbies and eclectic sneaker range.
