Enzo Bonafe

Enzo Bonafè founded the company in 1963 after working with A. Testoni starting in 1948. He launched the business with his wife, Guerrina, and a small group of workers. The firm expanded its production over the years and began distributing footwear to boutiques in Italy and in other countries.

The company maintains a restricted production scale. A core team of artisans produces shoes in the Bologna workshop. Several employees are members of the Bonafè family, and many have worked there for decades.

Enzo Bonafè uses construction techniques such as Blake, hand-welted, Norvegese, and moccasin. Production relies on traditional methods and materials sourced for shoe manufacturing.

The company's products include commemorative footwear models, button boots, and designs using hand-welted, Norvegese, Blake, and moccasin construction. The product range includes men's dress and casual shoes.
