SNEAKERS — Messina gray

Lightness & performance.

The modern-design sneaker created to combine comfort and dynamism every day, the one that accompanies you just as well for a sports moment as for an urban look. The Messina embodies this contemporary versatility: a gray breathable mesh fabric that lets the foot breathe, a cleanly designed sporty lacing, a contrasting thick white sole that provides cushioning, and optimal support, the signature of a true sports shoe. A pair that works with tailored joggers, raw denim jeans, or relaxed chinos with a knit sweater — for all the moments when comfort is non-negotiable.

Breathable mesh fabric, a modern design. The gray mesh fabric covers the entire sneaker, in a technical material that lets the foot breathe with every step. The modern design, shaped by contrasting inserts and the thick sole, sets the Messina apart from classic sneakers and gives it its dynamic character.

A textile lining, a flexible thick sole. The textile interior keeps the foot at a constant temperature, no matter how long the day lasts. Underneath, the thick synthetic sole offers lightness, flexibility, and optimal support — the cushioning of a sports shoe with every step. And the anatomical wedge sole subtly straightens posture — back straight, shoulders open, confident stride.

Mario Bertulli craftsmanship, applied to performance. Like all our models, the Messina secretly gives you +7.5 cm thanks to a completely invisible internal lift. What sets it apart: this lightness that combines sport and style, without ever compromising. You’re not just wearing a height-boosting sneaker — you’re wearing the pair that follows you from sport to city, backed by over fifty years of Italian craftsmanship.

A pair that takes you from morning workouts to city strolls, from tailored joggers to relaxed jeans, with the lightness and support of a true sports shoe.

ELEVATOR SHOES BY
MARIO BERTULLI

The back of the shoe is higher, and the rear curve is adjusted to:

  • Keep the foot perfectly secure inside the shoe
  • Prevent any rubbing on the Achilles tendon

THE OTHERS

The lift is simply placed in a normal shoe, which causes :

The heel slips out of the shoe while walking

The instep shaft axis is adjusted to provide enough space for the foot and ensure support and comfort

The foot is compressed in the shoe, causing pain

All proportions of the shoe (sole, upper, and lining) are adjusted to the lift for optimal comfort and to ensure it remains visually imperceptible

Difficulty lacing the shoes as the top of the foot is compressed

ABSOLUTE COMFORT FOR YOUR FEET IN TOTAL DISCRETION

1. DO NOT WEAR THEM TOO OFTEN:

To avoid damaging them and to promote drying and ventilation of the leather, preventing premature ageing. It is recommended not to wear the same pair more than twice a week.

2. USE SHOE TREES:

Insert shoe trees into your  shoes after wearing them to maintain their shape and absorb moisture.

See our range of shoe trees >
