I wrote two pairs of my Santoni, one is Fatte A Mano collection, which has Santoni’s most conspicuous orange sole and insole, and the other is Goodyear collection. This pair is the lowest Nuvola collection, which is the rubber sole.
Santoni has the Limited Edition collection, which is regarded super great.
But no matter which collection, you won’t hear them mentioned by Santoni officially. You can’t see the styles on official website. Shoes have no name, no last shape, no details, do you think it looks good? Good looking? Then buy it.
My pair is a black Wingtip derby.
Construction
Below Goodyear collection, Santoni definitely uses Blake construction.
The Nuvola collection is even more doubtful because the sole is rubber.
Blake stitches are very clear. Made in Italy, the above paragraph, is Italian rubber.
I saw this on the upper.
Faux welt stitches.
I don’t know, it looks a bit real, but if you look closely, it’s plastic.
As mentioned before, Blake construction has a natural advantage of narrow waist.
Comparison
Because I own another pair of Santoni from its Goodyear collection, and both are Wingtip oxfords, so we can have a look together.
Last
It seems to me that the last is the same?
Because of the medallion and Brogue patterns, the toe cap looks different, but in fact, it should be the same last.
Same last and different upper designs can give people a very different feeling.
Medallion
Last time I talked about this pair of Goodyear, I focused on medallion. This is a direct comparison and better understanding.
This pair of black ones, brogue all over the floor like strawberries, has completely lost its aesthetic feeling. And the one on the right, although I don’t quite understand the shape, will let people have a look.
Leather
Santoni has a good control on leather quality.
The leather of these shoes with rubber soles is still good. The creases are fine and there is no coating.
In comparison, the leather of Goodyear collection is even better.
Therefore, the contest between a.testoni and Santoni is finished, and Santoni won completely.
Summary
Santoni price is unattainable now, if you find the right price, it is not a wrong choice to buy its round-toe shoes.
Santoni 在yoox裡面實在便宜
那是好事啊,因为Santoni的皮革水准一直在线,只要不是特殊的尖头款式,都很不粗的。大厂风范。
