Del Toro Shoes Men's Black Velvet Slipper II With Black Grosgrain Stripe

The gold standard in formal footwear.

The shoe that started it all – our best-selling Velvet Slipper gives a modern perspective to a classic smoking slipper silhouette. 

Del Toro is an expert when it comes to velvet and comfort.  The uppers are constructed from the softest, highest quality Italian velvets available for that broken-in feel right out of the box.  Handcrafted by our family of artisans in Italy, each detail is stitched to perfection.  The grosgrain trim and heel stripe are sewn by hand, giving the Velvet Slipper the tasteful aesthetic Del Toro has become so well known for.  A custom sole adds an element of sophistication, with a thoughtfully designed rubber injection to help prevent slip. 

Perfect for any formal event or occasion wear outfit – the Velvet Slipper is comfortable, versatile, and stylish and will elevate any dress code.  It even works with jeans and a blazer, you’ll see.
