The Beenflex Shoes by Astorflex are a moccasin-inspired classic, first developed in Ireland and launched in the 1960s. Expertly crafted in Italy, these shoes feature soft, unlined suede uppers for maximum comfort and breathability, making them an easy everyday essential.
Lined with vegetable-tanned calf leather, the insoles are processed using a traditional tanning method—soaked in a mixture of water, oak bark, and mimosa powder—eliminating the need for synthetic dyes or colour finishes. This natural treatment ensures a hypoallergenic and sweat-absorbent interior, keeping feet dry and odour-free.
Set on a sustainable natural crepe sole, made from coagulated latex of the Hevea Brasiliensis rubber tree, these shoes offer flexibility, durability, and long-lasting comfort. The light brown whiskey-toned suede will develop character over time, making the Astorflex Beenflex a true heritage piece that ages beautifully.
