Bally not only pioneered the realm of shoe making， but also the worlds of retailing and advertising. The first retail store opened in 1881 on Londons prestigious New Bond Street.
BALLY Today： Responsibility and passion
The Bally name became synonymous with highly functional， quality shoes and famously graced the soles of dancers， soldiers， pioneers， sportsmen and even astronauts footwear.

The young Amedeo opened his first workshop in 1929， after having learnt the secrets of the most important Bolognese craftsmen. In the 50s he improved the Bolognese production to fulfill his dream of creating the most beautiful shoes in the world. To make the dream come true， he has carried the real essence of Italian craftsmanship to luxury markets throughout the world.
A.Testoni secret construction
The shoe is made， kept in the shape and then deconstructed. The upper is firstly taken apart and then put together and sewed to the sole using a revolutionary process， entirely hand-made， patented by A.Testoni. The result is a shoe as light as a feather that guarantees at the same time a perfect foot isolation from hot， cold and humid weather conditions.
The Materials-In Search of Absolute Quality
The great variety of leathers used that ranges from calfskin to ostrich， iguana and crocodile， constitutes a continuous challenge and commitment. It is necessary to select the best leathers， test their resistance and find experts capable of hand-sewing complex materials that even the most sophisticated machines are unable to cut.
The Bolognese Construction
The Bolognese construction is the feature which best defines the handicrafts values of an A.Testonis shoe. A special lining of very soft goatskin - hand sewn to the upper - fits the foot like a glove and gives remarkable elasticity to the front part of the shoe， whereas the rear part presents a harder structure in order to support the heel correctly.
The Norwegian Construction
The peculiar braided stitching， also called “the chain”， that contrasts the upper is entirely hand-made with rough linen twine. This ancient process derives from typical mountain boots conceived to face the most adverse weather conditions.
The Spiral
Originally， the spiral was used to hide the twine utilized for the sewing of the shoe bottom. In this ancient technique， a thin ribbon of leather was wound around the twine after each sewing point. A detail ， applied to the sole hem， is today a sort of trademark of production in A.Testonis shoes.
From the wheeling and stamping of the soles to the trimming of the edges， from the delicate procedures of antique and shaded polishing to the final brushing： hemming， assemblage and finishing can involve at least 200 manual operations in an A.Testonis shoe.
Old methodologies， unique competences， very rigorous materials selection， research for quality without compromises， technical and esthetical tension towards new and original solutions： this is the philosophy of a company that has in itself and in its history； the requisites for a continuous innovative development and for the international recognition of its products and Italian style.
calfskin [‘kɑ：fskin] n. 小牛皮
ostrich [‘：strit， -] n. 鸵鸟
iguana [iɡwɑ：n] n. [动] 鬣蜥蜴
crocodile [‘krk，dail] n. 鳄鱼

1929年，年轻的阿米迪奥在掌握了博洛尼亚最重要制鞋匠的精髓后，开设了他的第一家店铺。50年代，在“创造世界上最美的鞋子”这一梦想的推动下，阿米迪奥在实践过程中改良了博洛尼亚式制鞋工艺，并且在这一过程中将意大利手工工艺理念带入世界奢侈消费品市场。
A.Testoni的制鞋秘诀
先将鞋子制作成型，然后分解开来，拆下的鞋面使用一种革新工序重新固定并缝合到鞋底上。该工序全部使用手工，如今已成为 A.Testoni的专利。通过这一方法制作出的鞋子如同羽毛一般轻巧，同时又将脚部与外部的炎热，寒冷和潮湿隔离。
材料——追求完美品质
使用种类繁多的皮革是一种持续的挑战，需要不断投入精力：从小牛皮到鸵鸟皮，到巨蜥皮，再到鳄鱼皮。所有工序包括选择最好的皮革，研究出它的用途，寻找有能力对复杂材料进行手工加工的能工巧匠，因为即使最精密的机器也无法裁剪那些复杂的材料。
手套式缝法
A.Testoni制鞋工艺之特色在于使用博洛尼亚制鞋工艺。鞋帮里手工缝制了极为柔软的山羊皮衬里，如同手套一般包裹双脚并使鞋的前部拥有非常高的弹性。而鞋后帮的结构则较坚实以正确承托脚跟。
挪威式缝法
使用未加工亚麻线纯手工缝制而成的特殊辫形或“链形”缝线与鞋面形成反差。这种古老的工艺起源于典型的登山鞋，用于应对各种恶劣的气候条件。
螺旋式缝法
原本是用于隐藏鞋底的缝线。在这个古老工艺中，一条极细的皮条交织于每一针针脚周围。这一细节应用到鞋底边缘之后，在一定意义上就变成了 A.Testoni制鞋的 “商标”。
从鞋底的滚压和模压到其边缘的设定，从精妙的皮革古法花式上光到最终的刷拭：A.Testoni制鞋中，锁边，缝合和整饰这些工艺可包含两百道不同的工序。
古老的方法，一脉相传的卓越技艺，严苛的材料选择，对质量的执着追求，为了获得与众不同的款式而在技术和美学上的不懈坚持：正是基于这一传统文化，铁狮东尼的品牌得以持续不断地创新其产品和意大利风格，以确保其国际知名度。
