Moreschi shoes are traditionally comfortable: we recommend choosing one size smaller than your usual size

Martinica represents the contemporary evolution of the Tenerife model, reinterpreted with a lighter, more dynamic character. Crafted in soft perforated nappa leather and available in black and navy, this men’s driver balances relaxed elegance with Summer functionality.

The signature silver-tone metal logo, inherited from Tenerife, signs the model with a distinctive yet understated detail. The tubular construction ensures natural flexibility and a glove-like fit, following the movement of the foot with continuity and comfort. The perforated nappa enhances breathability and lightness, while the rubber sole provides grip and protection from moisture during everyday wear. These features make Martinica ideal for the Spring and Summer seasons.

Compared to the Caracas model – offered in perforated nubuck with a more understated, casual attitude – Martinica expresses a more refined and luminous identity, thanks to the softness and finesse of nappa leather. Both share the driver construction and signature metal logo, yet interpret leisure time with different nuances.

Perfect with lightweight chinos, selected denim or linen trousers, Martinica complements relaxed yet polished looks with ease, becoming a versatile ally for weekends, travel and informal days in the city.

The name Martinica evokes bright atmospheres and unhurried rhythms, suggesting an idea of relaxed elegance and natural movement. Like the island that inspires it, this driver interprets leisure time with balance, comfort and character.

Care

Nappa is a top-quality leather — typically lamb or kidskin — tanned to maximise softness and produce a silky surface feel. Its very delicacy is its defining trait: it responds poorly to abrasives, product excess and sudden changes in temperature.

For regular care:
1. Clean with a soft dry cloth using light, patting movements without rubbing. Avoid stiff brushes or abrasive products that can scratch the surface.
2. Occasionally apply the Moreschi Leather Polishing Wax in the Neutral variant — suited to smooth, supple leathers — in a minimal amount, distributing it with no pressure to nourish the leather without weighing it down or altering its silky finish. Allow to absorb, then finish with a clean soft cloth.
3. Keep away from direct light, heat sources and moisture: nappa marks easily and does not tolerate abrupt thermal changes.
4. Store in a cool, dry environment with the Moreschi Wood and Velvet Shoe Trees, whose black velvet flocking interacts with the internal lining without leaving marks, preserving both shape and material integrity over time.

Nappa may be paired with exotic leather inserts on particularly exclusive models. Given its extreme sensitivity, apply cream only to the nappa sections using minimal, well-controlled strokes, and avoid any contamination of adjacent exotic surfaces. For any treatment involving exotic surfaces, consult a cobbler specialising in delicate and precious leathers.

For deeper maintenance, consult an experienced cobbler, preferably one specialising in delicate leathers.

Tubular construction

A traditional method for crafting loafers, tubular construction is performed entirely by hand. The upper is wrapped beneath the sole to create a tubular leather structure that gives the shoe its signature softness and flexibility. The artisan then stitches the edges using a special awl and waxed thread, completing a refined and comfortable build.
