Can anyone identify these shoes?

I bought these shoes in the charity shop earlier today as they seemed too beautiful to be left, and just so happen to be my size.

I’m trying to figure out who made them and when but i cant work it out, they’re been resoled which I assume covers the branding. Also it looks like when they were resoled some black leather was added inside and initially they cut this to allow the labels through but they’re no longer there.

As far as I can tell, they’re calf skin leather and made it Italy but for the French.

the bottom says:
“(First part covered) sole
Dessus cuir veau
Semelle Cuir
Doublure peau
Fabrique en italie”

any one recognise them? Thankyou

A reverse image search lead me to these:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156233941863

via this page which is a broken link
https://www.salvosstores.com.au/shop/p/fratelli-vanni-italy-mens-size-435-black-leather-loafers-designer/592616

but I then googled " fratelli-vanni-italy-mens-size-435-black-leather-loafers-designer/592616"

Pardon our interruption...

if you scroll down to the bottom of the ebay link, you can see the listings and the photos.

@user0234058779 not sure they are them though. The OPs shoes aren't men's shoes, they have a heel and there are square bits down the side that the eBay ones don't.

Very similar though. Wonder if same brand?

getahhtmapub · 26/11/2024 18:13

Actually the insole bit where the brand is/was has a distinctive shape and is the same on both so must be Fratelli Vianni.
Great detective work.

What great detective work! Thankyou I will have a read through those links now.

@getahhtmapub they are men’s shoes! The older ones seem to have a heel like that

I got them for £6.50!

They look like men's shoes

Also the writing on the soles of these (another Fratelli Vanni shoe) looks the same as on your @LovelyBitOfSquirrrel

This is a brilliant find Thankyou! The writing on the back does seem incredibly similar

very happy with my £6.50 bargain!
