The main feature of Versilia loafers is the presence of small rubber studs on the sole, which make the shoe soft and comfortable. A little curiosity: this driver model was initially designed for racing car drivers because the studs provided better grip on the vehicle's pedals. The most iconic shoes made of suede are the Blue Suede Shoes from Elvis Presley’s 1956 song. The story goes that Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash were in line, and someone ahead of them shouted, "Hey! Don’t step on my blue suede shoes!" This exclamation inspired Elvis and became a globally successful song, quickly topping the US charts. After the song's release, Elvis bought a pair of suede shoes that were displayed at the Elvis-A-Rama Museum in Las Vegas thirty-five years later.

This Versilia driver model with contrasting eyelets is a timeless classic made of soft suede leather, also known as suede or velours, softer and more flexible than standard full-grain leather and fully water-repellent. The essence of Italian craftsmanship is captured in the attention to small details of this handmade shoe, extremely versatile thanks to its laceless construction, designed to ensure the comfort of a slipper. This creation is last-built, which determines the characteristics of the fit, and is handmade with fine leathers. Versilia is available in seven color variants.
Each creation keeps the promise made by our craftsmen: to innovate the company while fully respecting the Italian shoemaking tradition. The story of Mille885 is an authentic Italian story, made to be told.
