Gondolina Shoes
the secret:
Furlane
The furlane shoes, now iconic to Venice, were originally worn by gondoliers during WWII. Their soles, made from recycled rubber (often from bicycle tires), protected the wooden boats and became the footwear of choice for Venice’s waterway rulers.

If you want to take home something truly Venetian, Gondolina Shoes is a must. They make beautiful furlane, the classic Venetian slippers but with a modern touch. Each pair is handmade with great attention to detail, and they even add a supportive sole so they’re super comfortable to wear.
