These shoes are new, but these shoes are made in 1973. It's a contradiction? No, it's all true.
In the 70s Lauro Righi was the leading modelist of Casadei shoe factory and at the same time he produced footwears with his brand.
All Lauro Righi shoes are made in true leather: these wedges are made in python and calf.
The wooden heels are covered by one piece of calf leather. Only one piece of calf leather covers both heel and platform. Look at the wedges: you can see only a juncture on the internal side.
To make adhere the calf to the wedge ins't easy because the surface is full of curves, cavities and convexities. To give this shape to the leather is necessary heat up him and beat him by hand at length on the wooden heels.
In 1973 this pair of shoes was a prototype: a sample for the Milan or the Dusseldorf shoe fair.
Some prototypes are choosen and next there's a mass production, other prototypes remain prototypes.
This shoes, made in 1973, are never produced and sold: materials and manufacture was too expansive for a convenient commercialization. They remain the idea of a modelist.
