Thinking of buying this one:

 

[Van DeStadt]

If your wardrobe can use them, how can you go wrong? Where are they?

 

[dijor]

i dont know the exact model. I can see they are blake and not goodyear stitched. I passed since it is a little too pointy for my taste.

Bought some whip stitched slippers at Nordstrom a couple years ago and they have held up remarkable well, very comfy too.

Hello Gentlemen, I like Santoni for the good ratio quality/price but sometimes there going crazy in design anyway I have some boots very comfortable .. anf finally my special one with a formal suit very nice to wear

Hello everyone , I am new to style forum and wanted to say hello.
I work in car sales and I am on my feet all day running around so I only wear rubber soles which are frowned on..
Back years ago I only wore bruno magli yes they are disposable but they are stylish and comfortable..
A few years back I (maybe 6-7) I was at nordstroms at the gsp and the sales guy put a pair of santoni's on my feet and they where the most comfy shoes.
They where novella and I still have them and actually do yard work in them..lol..
Fast foward I have a few more pairs , Redmond, Mack, on orrin... I was looking at the saxton since they are where on sale at nordstroms for like $380 but read on page 13 a guy named idndyoshi68 got them for $130... Where the hell can you get a pair of santoni's under $200? You can't even find used ones on ebay for that price unless they are beat to hell... The best price I was able to get on santoni's was $277 for the redmond. I go to the nordstroms rack every month and never saw a pair of santoni's they .. Well once and it was the novella I had and they where still over $200...

What is up with the hate against the rubber soles?
When I look at a shoe they first thing I look at is if it has rubber soles because I do do 10k steps a day..

There's a Santoni shop here in HK. I used to be a big fan of Santoni FAMs and have a few LEs, but the current stuff is just a bit too fashion orientated and a bit too flash with extraneous details.

Stopped by a shoe store's closing sale in Chicago before the new year and found these leather soled black grain Santoni bluchers - Classico line... But at around $90 before tax, I was ECSTATIC. 80% off:

I walked them outside before taking pics. I'm not trying to be "a dick" by posting this - and I know they're not fatte a mano line - but I did find an incredibly soft (glove-like even), supple black grain brogue captoe Santoni (nothing like it in my lineup) that retailed around $450-$500 for less than the price of Swims. I should be able to post without chagrin, no? Enjoy your weekend. My streak continues, StonedCL..! Lucky, I guess.

Bringing this thread out of hibernation. Just received my newest pair of Santoni shoes, bought from an Ebay seller last week at a great price (at least compared to MSRP).

I've been looking for a nice pair of Burgundy shoes to wear formally / for work. Santoni makes a few today (Vinnie, Ashford, etc) but it seems to be more rare compared to their array of browns as well as black offerings.

I bought these but couldn't figure out the model, thought maybe it was made for Europe and wouldn't have a name per se. I think however that I figured it out, I believe they are the Santoni Baileys that were made around 2008 for a dept store Harold's that went out of business. If anyone has any information I'd appreciate it. There's nearly nothing on google related to Bailey besides a few old sits or ebay pages which is how I linked mine to Bailey.

Basically I paid around $200. They are bologna constructed, a soft leather sole (not rubber). It just surprises me that they could be like 7 years old at this point probably sitting in some random warehouse for that long. Should that be any reason for concern about quality or longevity of the shoe? What's your guys' opinion on them?

Just like most Santoni laceups in 13D that I've tried or own they fit like a glove... and look great! Here's some pics:

 

[clotheshorse69]

Those are nice.

I bought a couple pairs of Santoni for Gucci. Will post pics if anyone is interested.

 

[Beach Bum]

Yep, post them.

 

[coloRLOw]

congrats!

i have no experience with santoni's bologna shoes. could you post a pic of the sock/insole? many thanks!

i have a goodyear line santoni on its way, found on eaby also.though no plan to buy more shoes, the price is too great to pass ( around $150)
