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

Ortica is the modern reinterpretation of one of Moreschi’s most iconic shapes: the longwing Derby. Crafted from blue suede calfskin, it is enhanced by decorative brogue detailing that adds depth and elegance to a silhouette with a distinctly contemporary soul. The balance between artisanal tradition and modern design makes this model a distinctive choice for the man who values sartorial quality without giving up a bold aesthetic.

The soft calfskin lining ensures a comfortable, breathable, and enveloping fit, while the rubber sole with a pronounced tread provides stability, grip, and protection during rainy days or the wetter seasons. Thanks to the Blake construction—a hallmark of Moreschi’s artisanal excellence—the shoe retains flexibility and long-lasting durability, adapting perfectly to walking and everyday use.

Ideal for those who appreciate a blend of daily comfort and formal sophistication, Ortica transitions effortlessly across different settings: perfect with structured outerwear or flannel trousers for a sophisticated urban look, yet equally fitting to elevate formal outfits with personality. A bold, versatile choice that reflects the identity of the man who seeks a distinctive and functional shoe—designed to face the city with style, in every season.

The model takes its name from Milan’s Ortica district, once an industrial area and now a symbol of urban renewal and creativity—a neighborhood where historical memory coexists with new cultural vitality, just like this shoe, which fuses the classic longwing form with the modern spirit of urban design.

The Ortica model is also available in black calfskin, perfect for those who favour a more essential and confident look while preserving the blend of sartorial tradition and modern attitude.

Care

Suede calfskin has a characteristic velvety texture, produced by buffing the flesh side of the hide. It is sensitive to moisture, staining and abrasion, and requires dedicated tools — waxes and traditional shoe creams are not suitable for this leather.

For regular care:
1. Remove dust and surface dirt using the Moreschi Wood Brush with para rubber and horsehair bristles, brushing gently in the direction of the nap.
2. For stains, use a suede eraser or a mild suede cleaner, applied with restraint and without scrubbing.
3. Apply the Moreschi Suede Spray periodically to refresh colour, restore texture and protect the leather from moisture and staining — without altering the original tone.
4. Never use waxes, shoe creams or polish: they will permanently alter the velvety surface.
5. Store in a dry environment away from heat and direct light, with the Moreschi Wood Shoe Trees inserted to maintain shape and allow the leather to breathe.

Suede calfskin shoes combined with exotic leathers require particular care: the suede spray is not suitable for exotic surfaces and can cause irreversible damage. Treat only the suede sections, carefully protecting the adjacent exotic parts. For any treatment that involves both surfaces, consult a cobbler specialising in mixed-material footwear.

For persistent stains or significant wear, consult a specialist in suede and nubuck footwear care.

Blake construction

The Blake construction is used for shoes with leather or rubber soles and ensures a secure bond between the upper, midsole, and outsole. After an initial phase of gluing and pressing, the sole is further reinforced with a single stitch made using a specialized Blake machine, which fastens the bottom of the shoe directly to the upper.

The result is a solid yet flexible shoe, ideal for refined everyday wear.
