The gold standard in formal footwear.
The shoe that started it all – our best-selling Velvet Slipper gives a modern perspective to a classic smoking slipper silhouette.
We are proud to announce the release of our limited edition collection in partnership with Benihana. The collection includes two velvet slippers with distinctive designs and a hat complete with iconic imagery inspired by Benihana's rich heritage. Benihana has delighted guests across America for generations with its highly skilled, fun theatrical chefs preparing Japanese meals at their teppanyaki tables.
Del Toro is an expert when it comes to velvet and comfort. The uppers are constructed from the softest, highest quality Italian velvets available for that broken-in feel right out of the box. Handcrafted by our family of artisans in Italy, each detail is stitched to perfection. The grosgrain trim and heel stripe are sewn by hand, giving the Velvet Slipper the tasteful aesthetic Del Toro has become so well known for. A custom sole adds an element of sophistication, with a thoughtfully designed rubber injection to help prevent slip.
Perfect for any formal event or occasion wear outfit – the Velvet Slipper is comfortable, versatile, and stylish and will elevate any dress code. It even works with jeans and a blazer, you’ll see.

ABOUT DEL TORO
In a world overwhelmed by gimmicky robots and artificial intelligence, we prefer to do things the old-fashioned way...
1. HAND DESIGNED
We design everything by hand. No computers, no fancy programs. Just pencil and paper, from head to hand. We take our inspiration from everywhere – old Italy, new Italy, cars, guitars, seasons, and just things we find all-around interesting.
2. HAND SOURCED
We source everything by hand. We physically touch and feel each fabric, a step necessary to assure it meets our strict quality standards. Like chefs going to market late at night after a long shift, we do the same for our fabrics and materials.
3. HAND SAMPLED
We sample everything we make by hand. Each shoe is made exactly how we would make it in production – with our hands. We need to see, touch, and feel the physical product – no computer generated anything.
4. HAND TESTED
We wear test every single design on our own two feet. We walk for 100 miles in each new style. We dance, we drive cars, we ride bikes - anything that would require footwear in an everyday situation. We walk a mile in your shoes so that we can deliver exactly what you want.
5. HAND CRAFTED
We hand craft our footwear. No, really - we actually make these things by hand. A lot of brands say their products are ‘handmade’ – a term being used very loosely. At Del Toro, we really do build our products with our hands.
We have a hard time trusting robots, but we do trust our hands. And it's the only way we know the very best will make it into your own.
