This is an historic shoe-making technique that is not often found due to the extra steps and care that are required in properly making Bologna constructed shoes. The lining is shaped into a circular bag, “sacchetto” in Italian, and is then sewn to the upper which is then sewn to the outer sole. Bologna construction results in a very soft and flexible shoe. It is likely one of the most comfortable type of shoes made. Pastori uses this mode of shoe-making exclusively.
