Italian cave reveals the best deck shoe ever

Luckily, the Italian Riviera is a charmer: a crescent-shaped coastline of stunning vistas, orange-drenched houses, and ageless class. Setting off from the ancient fishing village of Portofino, we headed for the island of Palmaria, known for its distinctive marble caves.

After a short bout of seasickness, we arrived at the island’s cliffs and anchored the boat. At Marco’s insistence, we scaled the rock face and entered one of the caves. Perhaps I was just overwhelmed by the beauty of the marble against the azure ocean below, but I lost my footing and fell down a 20-foot slope into one of the cave’s antechambers. Marco rescued me with some line from the boat, but only after giving me a piece of advice: get better shoes.

Upon returning to shore, he insisted that I buy a specific pair of brown leather deck shoes. Made of calfskin leather and a slip-resistant rubber sole, these are honestly the most comfortable deck shoes I’ve ever worn. Crafted by a highly sought-after Italian designer, these shoes are perfectly suited for both work and play, meaning you’ll only have to take them off when you feel like it.

Indulge in the luxury of Italian leather shoes for an incredible price. Your feet (and your wallet) will thank you.
