Product description
Pantofola d'Oro is a family-owned Italian shoemaking company founded in 1886 in the small Italian town of Ascoli Piceno. Originally, the company was known as 'Calzaturificio Lazzarini,' but this would change following a boot trial with the legendary Welsh footballer, John Charles, often regarded as one of the best all-round players Britain has ever produced. At the time of the boot trial, he was playing for Juventus, where he had heard through his teammates about an Italian boot brand that, with careful craftsmanship and a sense of quality, guaranteed exceptionally well-made football boots. The day came when John Charles could finally put his feet into a pair of these boots, after which he exclaimed, "Questa non è una scarpa, è una pantofola. Una Pantofola d'Oro!" Translated into English, this means, "This is not a shoe; it's a slipper. A golden slipper!" This statement made such an impression on the Lazzarini family that they decided to change their name to Pantofola d'Oro.
It's a legendary story and a lineage of star players that lie behind Pantofola d'Oro, and to this day, it continues to be top-tier craftsmanship. If you are looking for unparalleled quality and unmistakable Italian style, then Pantofola d'Oro embodies this and is just right for you!

Made in Italy
With Pantofola d'Oro's 'Made in Italy,' you get the best in football boots. The leather for the Italian-produced boots is carefully selected, handpicked, and cut in a single piece. All boots go through the exact same 46 phases of production, involving comprehensive and very thorough quality control, ensuring that the boots meet the high standards. At the most critical stages of the manufacturing process - trimming, sewing, and gluing - even the smallest error results in a boot being rejected. It's this demanding and complicated process, along with exceptional attention to detail, that ensures the quality of the boots is so high, and the 'Made in Italy' stamp is so exclusive.
Legendary Name
The boot is named after the Lazzarini family, who are both owners and founders of Pantofola d'Oro. Just as the boots were lovingly crafted in 1886, this boot is also handcrafted with a care that leaves nothing to chance. It's a boot with a timeless design and a significant heritage to live up to.
Supple Kangaroo Leather Upper
Lazzarini has a flexible upper made of some of the softest kangaroo leather available. The supple leather molds perfectly to the shape of the foot, giving you a fit that feels like the boots were custom-made to your specifications. Additionally, you get a more natural feel for the ball and exceptional comfort. The mid- and forefoot have very few seams, providing a cleaner striking surface and reduced water intake. The outsole and stud system are designed to ensure the best comfort, protection, and stability. A natural flexion in the outsole provides a stable midfoot and a springy forefoot, resulting in a good takeoff. The outsole has a low profile, placing the foot close to the ground for a more responsive boot.
This is a boot with FG studs for firm ground surfaces such as natural grass.
