Crafted for Those Who Lead
About Roma Italica
Roma Italica creates refined leather footwear for men, bringing together timeless
silhouettes, considered materials and contemporary comfort. Each collection is
designed for those who value craftsmanship, detail and understated elegance.
THE ART OF SHOE MAKING
How Our Shoes Are Made
From carefully selected materials to considered construction and finishing details, every Roma Italica pair reflects an approach to refined men's footwear built around design, materials and attention to detail.
01
THE LEATHER
The Foundation of Every Pair
Leather plays an important role in the appearance, feel and character of a shoe. At Roma Italica, the materials used across our footwear collections are selected to complement the design and construction of each pair.
Where full-grain leather is used, the natural grain of the hide is retained, giving the material its distinctive appearance and allowing it to develop character with proper care over time.
02
THE CONSTRUCTION
Built With Purpose
A well-designed shoe brings together multiple components that work together as one. The upper, last, insole and outsole all contribute to the shape, structure and wearing experience of the finished pair.
Each component is considered as part of the overall design, helping create footwear that balances refined appearance with everyday practicality.
03
THE FINISH
Where Every Detail Comes Together
Finishing gives a shoe its final character. From the appearance of the upper to the edges and sole, the finishing details contribute to the overall presentation of the footwear.
Before reaching the customer, each pair should present a considered combination of design, materials and finishing details — creating a refined look from every angle.

Product & Quality
✚
How can I tell if your shoes are genuine leather?
Genuine leather features a unique, earthy scent and absorbs water slowly. Faux leather typically smells like plastic and remains stiff or cracks when flexed.
What is the difference between full-grain and genuine leather?
Full-grain is the highest quality, using the entire hide without removing the natural grain, making it the most durable. "Genuine leather" often refers to lower-grade leather that has been heavily processed.
Do leather shoes stretch over time?
Yes, premium leather is naturally flexible and will mold to your foot shape after a few wears for a custom-like fit.
Sizing & Fit
✚
How do I find my correct size?
Trace your foot on paper and measure the length in centimeters. Compare this to the precision size chart on our website.
When is the best time to measure my feet?
Measure your feet in the afternoon or evening, as they tend to swell slightly throughout the day.
Should they fit tightly or loosely at first?
They should fit snugly but not painfully. You should have about half an inch of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Care & Maintenance
✚
How often should I clean and polish my shoes?
Wipe off surface dust after every wear. Aim to condition your shoes every 4–6 weeks to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
Are leather shoes waterproof?
Not naturally. We recommend applying a waterproofing spray to enhance resistance, especially during rainy seasons.
How should I store my leather shoes?
Store them in a cool, dry place using cedar shoe trees to maintain their shape and absorb moisture naturally.
Order & Shipping

Can I change or cancel my order?
