The Capriolo Basso
About
About the Capriolo Basso – Suede Approach Shoe
One of the two latest releases in the Brandecosse range sees the development of a customer favourite, the Capriolo. Introducing the Capriolo Basso
Designed to be lightweight and low-profile, the flexibility offered by the Capriolo Basso makes for a practical shoe that’s incredibly easy-wearing but ready for when you need it most. Handcrafted in North-Eastern Italy from soft yet strong Italian suede with an additional rubber toe cap, the Basso is made to be as breathable as possible for the height of summer. Hence our decision to make this our very first non-waterproof lined boot, to ensure you’re kept cool and comfortable, even on the hottest of days.
Internally, the Capriolo Basso approach shoe has a hard-wearing microfiber lining with nubuck heel reinforcement. As standard across our Capriolo range, the Basso is fitted with a ventilated leather-lined micro insole for long-lasting comfort and cushioning.
Fitting
Thanks to an extended lacing pattern which laces all the way down to your toe. The Capriolo is very versatile in its width adjustment. When you first fit your Capriolos, make sure to fully loosen off your laces all the way down to the toe. This will allow the width to settle to the shape of your foot for the perfect fit.
The Brandecosse Approach
The Capriolo Basso is our take on a classic approach-style shoe, a style that originally influenced the design of our original Capriolo. Sitting below the ankle, the Capriolo Basso is the perfect choice for those hot days in the summer. Combining high levels of grip across rock and grass, thanks to a Vibram Friction outsole, with a tailored fit for ultimate forefoot control with the lace-forward design.

Kevin Jones –
Bought these at the beginning of the summer this year and they have become my go to shoe now. Took a few weeks to fully fit comfortably but then could wear them for long periods, even a long day walking around Pompeii and the hills around Sorrento in Italy.
It’s a five star from me.
