Carlos Santos
Toe Cap Cognac Suede
How it fits: Carlos Santos
UK sizes
Carlos Santos shoes are Goodyear welted and fit much like other quality English style makers. Most customers take their usual UK dress shoe size, about one size smaller than their trainer size.
Expect a firm fit at first that softens and moulds to your foot over the first weeks of wear.
Description
From Carlos Santos, one of Portugal's most respected shoemakers since 1942. Based in S. João da Madeira, the house sources leather from leading European tanneries including Annonay and builds shoes using Goodyear welted construction, delivering quality that sits well above the price point.
The suede upper has a soft, tactile surface that absorbs light rather than reflecting it, giving the shoe a matte warmth that pairs particularly well with lighter-weight fabrics and casual tailoring. The single leather sole keeps the profile slim and elegant, and the Goodyear welted construction means it can be resoled when the time comes. Made in Portugal.
