    I appreciate that!

    Carlos Santos Shoes - Feedback & Appreciation

    Yeah, I think I'm gonna dig the unique patina of this boot quite a bit. I'm so curious about how the Algarve would look with this boot, especially seeing as there are zero photos to be found online. It's kind of hard to resist buying them just to see them in-person, snap some photos, and give...

    Carlos Santos Shoes - Feedback & Appreciation

    Hey, thanks for your comment! I am excited! I am considering ordering them in Algarve as well and just returning the color I don't prefer. I am fairly certain that Guimaraes is what I want, though, having now realized that they are meant to be a brown with red tones. That's what AE's Dark Chili...

    Just ordered them in Guimaraes, size 10UK. I am US11.5D. Will definitely keep everyone posted on how they fit in order to potentially help out the next person looking into this boot.

    Carlos Santos Sizing?

    Those shoes are so nice! I think I am going to take the risk and go half a size down. I'm an 11.5D in Dalton and Park Ave, and will go for the 10UK. Fingers crossed! Just gotta decide on Algarve or Guimaraes now. Narrowed it down! The safe bet would be Guimaraes, as dark always works. If Algarve...

    Such a beautiful boot! I am 2 years too late, haha!

    No need to apologize! I appreciate you trying to help at all. I've seen this photo for sure. Heck, I'm pretty sure I've seen just about every Guimaraes and Algarve photo that exists online, haha! I've really been scouring. At this point, I'm just gonna have to take the plunge, or else look...

    Carlos Santos Shoes - Feedback & Appreciation

    Did you ever come across a photo that depicted the actual colors of the boots, together? Photos are always hit and miss as far as what they look like versus what they will look like when you receive them. I really wish I could go to a local shop and see these shoes. I do understand why folks in...

    Thanks! When Guimaraes looks like it does in these photos, I love it! The photos I've seen of it for the wingtip brogue boot, it looks so much darker. It's a tough call. And there are no photos of Algarve on that particular boot. The boots in Guimaraes look almost exactly like Coimbra does in...

    It really does seem to depend on the light. Some of the indoor/outdoor comparison photos members have shared are astonishing! Thank you for your response.

    Guimaraes or Algarve? If you had to choose one color for a wingtip brogue boot, which would you roll with? They both seem very versatile. Algarve looks to be light brown in a few photos and medium brown in most. Guimaraes looks medium-dark brown in some photos and very dark brown in others. I...

    I appreciate your feedback! So you went 1.5 sizes down from US size? Snug is cool, as I have no issue wearing dress socks with the boots. That's how I tried on Daltons and how I was fitted for the Park Avenues I own.

    Hey all! Fairly new member who's been lurking for a few years off and on. I finally took the plunge and began updating my wardrobe, starting with shoes. Picked up some Red Wing 1907's, have a pair of J Fitzpatrick Snoqualmie's on the way, and am have been eyeing the Wingtip Brogue boots by CS...

    Carlos Santos Sizing?

    It took a lot of digging, but after finding numerous photos comparing the wine shadow patina to other CS patinas, I would definitely agree that the color is like the first set of photos you've shared in this thread. I am trying to find the best brown color, and it is so difficult to do so, as...

    Carlos Santos Sizing?

    Wow, the wine shadow color looked like an oxblood in the first set of photos, then like an AE dark chili in the next set. It's amazing what lighting can do. Which set of photos do you feel most accurately represent the color of the shoe as you see them in the flesh? I am all about getting some...

    Any Goodyear welted Chukkas?

    Oh, indeed. I would never buy AE at that price. My last AE purchase was back in 2014, from the shoe bank, as always. I wouldn't buy a chukka at that price from anyone, honestly. I don't like the design enough, but really want an all-year shoe that isn't a sneaker, and like the design enough to...

    Any Goodyear welted Chukkas?

    I've gone back and forth on whether to try Thursday out, simply because of the price point, but keep reading about leather quality issues. I want to like the look of suede chukkas, but just don't. Meermin has some decent-looking leather chukkas, but only in an extremely dark brown and a very...

    Any Goodyear welted Chukkas?

    Old thread, but I have been looking into Chukkas the past few days and stumbled upon Thursday Boot Co. I saw a post in this thread asking whether their shoe were GYW, and wanted to post a link to their FAQ page, which contains the following info: "Goodyear welting is the gold standard method...
