FOOTWEAr A study of forms that combine design and softness

Super-soft calfskins, suedes, patent/ suedes, distressed-effect leather are going to be the materials of choice for the year. In casual wear, unlined leather slippers with ultra-flexible soles--footwear that translates the comfort and lightness of Ferragamo models into male versions--will top the list of buyers.

We have also come out with some innovative technical solutions that we think the industry will fast catch up on. These include the active carbon insoles and special water-resistant rubber soles with perfect grip on the ground.

Sailing shoes sport our collection's latest colours, with two-tone soles and contrasting leather ribbons. New colour combinations enliven sneakers with elastic laces in the new faded models, made of raffia or jacquard fabric. The new colours of the season are green, olive, brown, beige and navy.

New rubber rain boots with prestige calf lining and an absolutely British look, spiced up with some extremely unusual details on the rubber: perforations, zips and elastic at the sides. Prestige materials include crocodile and ostrich foot.
