CONSTRUCTION
Bolognese Construction (Sacchetto Method)

A signature Italian technique developed in Bologna, where the upper is stitched like a glove around the foot, eliminating rigid structures inside the shoe.

This construction ensures:

• Exceptional flexibility and softness
• Glove-like fit adapting naturally to the foot
• Lightweight feel compared to traditional welted shoes
• Superior comfort for prolonged wear

A distinctive hallmark of high-end Italian shoemaking and part of Testoni’s heritage craftsmanship.
