Premium leather, timeless lines.

Refined and contemporary.

The Chelsea ankle boot that embodies timeless elegance and a sharp style, designed for the man who wants to gain height without sacrificing comfort or sophistication. The Padova asserts this contemporary formal look: premium black leather with a polished finish, the Chelsea model’s signature elastic side panels, a rear pull tab for quick on-and-off wear, and a sleek non-slip AirLight™ sole. A pair with classic lines and a high-quality finish, for a refined look from the office to a business dinner — three-piece suit, flannel trousers with a shirt, or a long coat over an anthracite suit.

Premium leather, timeless lines. The black premium leather covers the entire ankle boot, without unnecessary stitching, in a classic design that transcends seasons without ever feeling dated. The elastic side panels provide support while instantly defining the Chelsea silhouette — one of the great classics of men’s wardrobes, reinterpreted by Mario Bertulli in its most refined version.

A moisture-wicking microfibre lining, an AirLight™ sole.

A moisture-wicking microfibre lining, an AirLight™ sole. The moisture-wicking microfibre interior keeps your foot dry all day long, مهما the length of your appointments. Underneath, the new AirLight™ technology combines lightness with non-slip grip, quiet on hardwood floors as well as on cobblestones. And the anatomical wedge sole subtly improves posture — straight back, open shoulders, confident stride.

Mario Bertulli Italian craftsmanship, applied to sophistication. Like all our models, the Padova secretly gives you +3.0'' thanks to a completely invisible internal lift. What sets it apart: the sophistication of a timeless business Chelsea, in the pure Italian tradition. You’re not just wearing a height-boosting ankle boot — you’re wearing the refined, contemporary Chelsea that adds height without being seen, signed by over fifty years of Italian craftsmanship.

A pair that takes you from the office to the formal meeting, from the client appointment to the evening in a suit, from the weekend in a long coat to the professional event.
