Pikolinos Footwear: Found at Lake Como, Europe’s Coolest Driving Mocs!
Last April we journeyed to northern Italy’s spectacular Lake Como to attend the magnificent Concorso d’Eleganza held on the grounds of the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este in Cernobbio. The original Concours began in 1929, and soon rose to become Europe’s most prestigious event of the season. Revived several years ago, it has now recaptured its rightful place on the International Concours circuit.
Stunning shoreline surrounded by soaring Swiss Alps, lush gardens, and the world’s rarest and most beautiful automobiles make Villa d’Este a must-see for committed car enthusiasts. We’re proud to have been selected by Pikolinos to introduce the cool-weather version of the Lake Como Driving Moc that was clearly the shoe of choice among those attending this year’s event.
Hand-Stitched — Pikolinos was founded by Juan Peran Ramos in Elche, Spain, and Juan’s personal enthusiasm for vintage sports cars inspired the creation of this dramatic driving moc.
Pikolinos is renowned throughout Europe for the evenness and quality of its hand-stitching; and for the unbelievable softness of its leathers, which are naturally tanned using no chemicals whatsoever — only vegetable extracts, animal fats, and pure olive oil. So the Lake Como Moc slips on and molds to your foot like a slipper. Juan cleverly created the classic look of a lace-up shoe, but in fact the “laces” are elastic for ease of ingress and a snug fit — and they never need tying! Softer and more flexible than any shoe you’ve worn, the Lake Como Moc gives you incredible feel for the pedals, and correspondingly finer control of your automobile.
Softly upholstered, glove-leather lining means you’re equally comfortable with or without socks, in or out of the car. And split-rubber treads that wrap up the heel put traction where you most need it while driving aggressively. Select Nero, Cognac or Amaretto in men’s 1/2 sizes 7-13, 14.
