Frequently Asked Questions
Are the RAYA sneakers truly handmade in Italy?
Yes. Every pair of Zelli Italia RAYA sneakers is handcrafted in Italy by skilled artisans, using traditional techniques that ensure exceptional quality, fit, and finish.
What is Poron and why does it matter?
Poron is a premium open-cell urethane foam used in high-end footwear for its superior cushioning and shock absorption properties. Unlike standard foam insoles, Poron maintains its cushioning over time and provides all-day comfort without compressing flat.
How do these sneakers fit?
The RAYA sneakers are available in standard US men’s sizing from 8.5 to 13 in medium width. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up for the most comfortable fit with the Napa glove lining.
How should I care for Italian sueded calfskin?
We recommend using a suede brush to remove surface dirt and a suede protector spray to guard against moisture and staining. Avoid prolonged exposure to water and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
