Autumn is gaining altitude

Silhouettes lengthen, palettes warm up, the secret remains the same.

Autumn may be the finest season for men’s shoes. Silhouettes become more defined, materials gain substance, and palettes turn to tobacco, cognac, deep black, and navy. It is also the season of high-stakes returns, longer dinners, and tweed weekends. This collection brings together the Mario Bertulli models that give autumn its full dimension — quite literally. One constant across every pair: the Mario Bertulli secret, this hidden anatomical lifting insole built into the shoe, which adds 5 to 10 centimeters without ever being seen.

The selection

Autumn, the season of fine shoes

It is in autumn that the men’s wardrobe settles back in. Wool coat taken out of the closet, suit brought back out for the season, raw denim rediscovered, patinated leather restored to pride of place. This season calls for shoes that structure the silhouette — and that is exactly what we have preselected here. Boots, loafers, derbies, autumn sneakers: each chosen pair brings your outfit the extra touch of elegance the season demands, with materials and tones that suit the moment.

The secret

When the silhouette lengthens, the secret extends

Autumn is the season of vertical lines: long coat, straight-leg trousers, scarf falling down. It is also the ideal season to wear Mario Bertulli — because the lift naturally extends the silhouette the season creates. From +2.4" to +3.6'' depending on the model, housed inside the heel, invisible from the front, side, or back. No one can see where those centimeters come from. Only your presence reveals them.

What you’ll find here

The complete autumn wardrobe for men

Seasonal leathers — hand-patinated full-grain leathers, warm suedes with a deep grain, velvety nubucks that catch October’s low light.

Autumn tones — tobacco, cognac, dark brown, camel, deep black, navy, burgundy: the palette that pairs with wool, tweed, and corduroy.

Structuring silhouettes — ribbed loafers, patinated derbies, boots and ankle boots that add substance to an outfit, leather sneakers for more casual days.

Models for major occasions — back-to-work dinners, autumn weddings, important business meetings, weekends in the countryside.

For whom

For the man who loves beautiful seasons

They are for those who take autumn seriously — those who know that a fine patinated leather shoe does more for a silhouette than an expensive accessory, that a well-cut coat deserves to be paired with shoes of equal caliber, and that an autumn meeting is decided as much by posture as by words. Also for those who want to gain a few centimeters discreetly, or keep their height advantage when their partner slips on heels for the evening. 300,000 men across Europe already share the secret.

Frequently asked questions

Which shoe should I choose for autumn?

Three families stand out: boots and ankle boots for a structured urban look and dropping temperatures; loafers in suede or patinated leather for the office and dinners; hand-stitched derbies for important meetings. Leather sneakers in autumn tones extend the relaxed weekend spirit.

Are autumn models suitable for winter?

Yes, most of them. Boots and ankle boots in lined leather, suede loafers, and patinated derbies carry you through winter perfectly. For very cold weather, turn to our fur-lined models, available in the range.

Is the lift comfortable with thick socks?

Yes. The sole is anatomical and improves posture without compressing the foot. It leaves enough room for wool or cashmere socks, without affecting comfort.

Where are the shoes made?

In Europe, in keeping with Italian craftsmanship, with expertise developed by Mario Bertulli since 1972.
