PALESTRO OSTRICH

This item is currently sold out and is not expected to be restocked. We invite you to explore our Legacy Collection for similar pieces and fresh inspiration.

Palestro is an evolution of the iconic Baku model, reinterpreted with refined sophistication within Moreschi’s ongoing Heritage collection. Crafted from a combination of premium materials, the Ostrich version pairs a soft black deerskin upper with a genuine ostrich vamp, creating an elegant and sophisticated interplay of textures—ideal for the man who seeks distinction through detail.

The calfskin lining ensures a soft, breathable, and enveloping fit, while the full rubber sole guarantees grip, comfort, and practicality, even during dynamic days or under less favorable weather conditions. The Blake construction—an emblem of Italian shoemaking excellence—provides flexibility and durability while preserving the model’s lightness and refinement over time.

Versatile and expressive, Palestro Ostrich is designed to effortlessly complement both high-end casual attire and smart business looks, offering an elegance with a cosmopolitan spirit deeply rooted in Italian craftsmanship.

The Palestro range is completed by three further interpretations:

  • Palestro Tejus, in calfskin with a Tejus vamp, for a more sartorial elegance;
  • Palestro Deer, in deerskin, perfect for those who appreciate a naturally elegant and understated style;
  • Palestro Suede, crafted from black suede calfskin, offering a more relaxed yet equally sophisticated aesthetic.

The name Palestro pays homage to one of Milan’s most elegant streets, renowned for its historic palaces, aristocratic gardens, and refined discretion—a perfect source of inspiration for a shoe that embodies discreet, authentic luxury, created for the contemporary man.

Care

Deerskin is naturally soft, elastic and breathable: its open fibrous structure gives immediate comfort from the first wear and a distinctive feel that sets it apart from denser calfskins. This same porosity means it absorbs products readily — restraint in application is essential.

For regular care:
1. Clean with a soft dry cloth to remove dust and surface residue, using light strokes without rubbing.
2. Occasionally apply a small amount of Moreschi Leather Polishing Wax in the Neutral variant, distributing it evenly. Allow to absorb, then buff with a clean cloth. Avoid heavy oil-based products: they can weigh down the leather and alter its natural elasticity.
3. Keep the shoes away from heavy rain and prolonged moisture. If wet, dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, with the Moreschi Wood Shoe Trees inserted to maintain shape during drying.
4. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light, with the shoe trees in place to preserve the silhouette.

When deerskin is paired with exotic leather inserts, the cream must not come into contact with the exotic sections — not even incidentally. Any care involving the exotic surfaces should be left to a specialist cobbler familiar with the specific protocols for each material.

For deeper treatment or difficult stains, consult an experienced cobbler.

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.
