The Calzaturificio Emanuela 1814 are women's shoes from the Special Feet line, designed to offer a particularly wide, soft, and easily adjustable fit for those who encounter difficulties with standard footwear.
The Maxi fit offers more space for the foot and is combined with an elastic and conformable fabric upper, capable of adapting more easily to its shape without the stiffness typical of a traditional shoe.
The fabric also features a special snakeskin-effect finish, which makes the model more aesthetically refined while maintaining all the functional characteristics of footwear dedicated to special feet.
The wide velcro closure allows the shoe to be opened well, facilitating foot entry and subsequently allowing the fit to be adjusted. It is a very practical solution, especially for elderly people or those with limited mobility, as well as for those who are helped by another person to put on their shoes.
Inside, we find a removable felt footbed, which can be easily taken out when necessary. The construction is completed by the traditional vulcanized rubber sole used by Calzaturificio Emanuela, designed to offer comfort and flexibility while walking.
The Emanuela 1814s are therefore a solution designed for those who prioritize comfort, space, ease of fit, and the shoe's ability to adapt to the foot, without giving up a feminine and discreet appearance.
Special Feet line: who are they recommended for?
The Special Feet line by Calzaturificio Emanuela was created to offer a solution to those who find it difficult to use a normal shoe.
The combination of wide opening, elastic upper, and comfortable fit can be particularly useful for:
- elderly people looking for a shoe that is simple to put on and take off
- those who have limited mobility of the foot or ankle
- those undergoing a period of rehabilitation after trauma or injury
- those who, following surgery, need a more adaptable shoe during recovery, when indicated by a healthcare professional
- those with sensitive or difficult-to-fit feet who find stiffer uppers uncomfortable
- those who need a comfortable shoe for home, care facilities, or periods of convalescence
This is not a medical shoe intended to replace any prescribed devices: in the presence of post-operative indications or specific foot conditions, it is always advisable to follow the advice of your doctor or healthcare professional.
Maxi fit: more space for special feet
The fundamental characteristic of the 1814 model is the Maxi fit, developed to offer more generous volumes compared to a standard women's shoe.
Combined with the elastic upper, it allows the footwear to better adapt to the shape of the foot and is particularly interesting when a traditional shoe proves to be too tight, stiff, or difficult to put on.
It is therefore a solution indicated for sensitive feet, those that are difficult to fit, or those that need more space, while still maintaining good adjustability thanks to the velcro closure.
Elastic upper to adapt to the foot
The front part is made of elastic and conformable denim fabric, designed to adapt to the shape of the foot rather than forcing it inside a rigid structure.
The rear area, on the other hand, is made with a more resistant fabric, helping to give greater structure to the footwear.
It is precisely this combination of front softness and rear support that makes this model particularly suitable for the philosophy of the Special Feet line.
The brand: Calzaturificio Emanuela
Calzaturificio Emanuela was founded in 1966 in Bagnacavallo, in the heart of Romagna, initially within a small artisan workshop.
For nearly sixty years, the company has been developing footwear by placing comfort, flexibility, and foot well-being at the center, maintaining a strong manual component throughout the entire production process.
Cutting, stitching, and assembly are carried out in-house by specialized artisans, and the company also produces the rubber used for its soles directly, in order to maintain direct control over the different components of the footwear.
Today, over 120 artisans and professionals in Bagnacavallo contribute to the production of the brand, which continues to carry forward a 100% Made in Italy and Made in Romagna supply chain.
The Special Feet line is particularly important, developed by Emanuela to offer elastic, conformable, and easy-to-wear footwear to people with comfort needs superior to those offered by a traditional shoe.
