Sturlini represents uncompromising quality, refined authenticity and artisanal excellence. Firmly rooted in Tuscan tradition, this Italian family-run business unites masterful craftsmanship with a discerning eye for contemporary design. For men who appreciate style, substance and individuality, Sturlini offers an exclusive collection of men’s footwear.
The brand’s story begins in 1967, when a small shoe workshop named ‘Navayos’ was established in the heart of Tuscany. At its helm was Rolando Sturlini – a man with a clear vision and a profound passion for design – supported by his wife Anna, who oversaw the artistic craftsmanship in the sewing atelier. Their first creation, a modest moccasin, would evolve over time into a true masterpiece of shoemaking.
It was the harmonious union of two elements that laid the foundation for the brand’s future success: Anna’s masterful craftsmanship and Rolando’s creative vision. This synergy gave rise to refined designs, distinguished by precision, character, and an attention to detail that only true artisanal skill can deliver.
At the heart of every creation lies exquisite Tuscan leather – a material that elevates the quality of each pair through its supple texture, natural grain and remarkable durability. Sturlini men’s shoes have thus become not merely a statement of style, but essential companions for the discerning gentleman.
Today, Alessio and Alessia – children of the company’s founder – continue the family tradition together with Edoardo, grandson of the founding couple. With fresh perspectives, innovative ideas and a profound respect for their heritage, they bring contemporary influences to the brand while remaining firmly rooted in its origins.
Since 2000, Sturlini for men has also been available through selected retail partners – and has since become a mainstay in the world of high-end men’s footwear. What began as a small workshop is now synonymous with Italian craftsmanship, timeless design and characterful shoes that continue to shape sartorial history.
Whether refined designer dress shoes for men, stylish designer boots for men or handcrafted designer loafers for men – Sturlini for men masterfully reinterprets classic silhouettes with contemporary flair. The designs are clean and understated, yet never lacking in character. Fine stitching, perforated detailing, innovative sole constructions and subtle colour gradients lend each pair its own distinctive identity. Further thoughtful features include Goodyear-welted construction, practical pull tabs, intricate broguing and discreet elastic inserts – all contributing to both comfort and craftsmanship.
At Sturlini for men, every detail reflects the utmost care and craftsmanship. Only carefully selected natural materials make their way into the hands of Tuscan shoemakers – from premium smooth leather, occasionally grained, to supple suede. For the outsoles, the brand uses a combination of leather and rubber, along with reinforced rubber at the heel for added durability.
The colour palette is defined by timeless shades of dark brown and burgundy. One thing is certain: Sturlini for men remains true to Italian lightness – shoes that leave a lasting impression without ever appearing overstated. The label’s signature garment-dyeing technique is unmistakable and has become a defining element of the brand. More than 30 years ago, Sturlini developed its own method to create subtle, tonal gradients. Only the finest natural dyes and pigments are used, with each upper dyed in small batches to ensure a truly individual finish.
"Like a fine osteria, our shoes are crafted with an appreciation for high-quality materials, and our approach is always grounded in authenticity. Here, excellence is not just in the quantity but in the quality—the quality of materials, the quality of time spent on each detail, and the dedication of our artisans", says Alessio Sturlini.
In contrast to the prevailing trend of mass production in the fashion industry, the brand takes a firm stand against it. Each shoe is crafted in its own atelier, employing local materials and traditional artisanal techniques handed down through generations. As a result, every model exudes the unique beauty of its region. Alongside time-honoured craftsmanship, the brand places great emphasis on environmentally conscious practices, such as the use of natural pigments and vegetable-tanned leather.
