About
The Ratio Boots are a boot model produced by Officine Creative, an Italian footwear manufacturer based in Montegranaro. Limited public documentation exists for this specific model, though the boots are constructed using Officine Creative's established manufacturing methods developed since the company's founding in 1968.
Officine Creative manufactures all footwear in the Marche region of Italy using traditional Italian shoemaking techniques. The company specializes in handcrafted leather boots and shoes characterized by distinctive finishing processes that create aged leather aesthetics.
Brand heritage
Officine Creative was founded in 1968 by Nazzareno Di Rosa in Montegranaro, a town in the Italian Marche region with established shoemaking traditions. The company remained family-operated and was officially launched as an independent brand in the 1990s.
The business is currently run by Roberto and Luca Di Rosa, representing the second generation of family ownership. Montegranaro's location in the Marche region places the company within a geographic area recognized for footwear production heritage.
Construction
Officine Creative employs handcrafting methods across its product range. Each pair of shoes undergoes over 100 individual handcrafting processes during production, with all manufacturing taking place in the Marche region of Italy.
The company uses advanced washing and burnishing finishing techniques to achieve a distinctive lived-in patina on leather surfaces. Different boot models may incorporate varying construction methods, with some utilizing Bologna construction for flexibility and comfort, while others feature Goodyear-welted construction paired with crepe rubber soles.
Materials
The company sources vegetable-tanned leathers to reduce environmental impact in production. Officine Creative works with Italian tanneries for leather supply.
Boot sole materials include natural rubber and LACTAE HEVEA rubber compounds. The handcrafted leather used in construction is designed to stretch with wear, allowing the material to conform to the foot shape over time.
