Many people may not visit Carlos Santos official website, as there are not many in stock. The reason is that Carlos Santos entrusts dealers in various countries.
As a result, on Carlos Santos official website, there are not many styles. However, there are two styles that are impressive and will always be available, namely Penny Love Elliot (No. 9176) and Chelsea boots Kent (No. 7902).
I carry Kent in my store for a long time. It started with Braga patina, a very bright orange brown, then Coimbra, a low-key dark brown, and again a little brighter, chocolate.
Many thought the last was very good-looking, but they prefer if the shoes are black. It finally came, and it is different.
How different?
Unboxing

Because the shaft of boots is high, so a larger shoe box.

Information, 7902 is the style number. Leather is special, it is not black, but black patina!
Last 401 is very suitbale for plain toe shoes, and of course Chelsea boots.

Branded print paper wrapped the shoes.
This gold colour and the abbreviated CS, are quite good-looking.

When you open the print paper, do you see the feeling of black patina?
Last

Carlos Santos has never advocated which last 401 last looks like, but in my eyes, this is probably the best imitation of Corthay Pullman last on the market.

The toe is definitely the essence, the width and roundness are appropriate.
Like Corthay Pullman last, it is most suitable for plain toes. I used to put it on the Cap Toe Oxford, it’s absurd.

Look at this smooth curve, although I know I can’t accept its slender on my feet, but beauty it is.
Pattern

Chelsea boots are extremely simple, so there is not much place to play. Carlos Santos chose the place of leather seam, pulling the usual vertical to 45 degrees, thus echoing the sharp stroke of the toe.
Summary
I don’t think it is necessary to look at the craftsmanship, outsole and so on. This shoe has a peerless last with so unique black patina, and it speaks for itself.
