Carlos Santos Shoes - Feedback & Appreciation

[Schweino]

Parting with some shoes and boots that don't fit me as well as I would. All size UK 8 and last 160, 234, 333. Both new and used.

Gutted about the shadow black chelseas, might have to reorder them on last 401.

Black/grey patina indeed, Noir Shadow it's called. Very nice and I'm surprised you don't see it more often

@Schweino : nice collection for sale, also the other brands
As I have never tried the Z160 last from CS, how does this last fit compared to, for example, the Z234 and/or Z401, or maybe even the Z187?

This may be a silly question. My first "real" shoe is Carols Santos patina goodyear welt. i wear the outside heels on on my shoes very fast. Should I put those plastic heel guards on? How much does it cost to replace the back rubber part if I wear it down?

160 has a low instep and a tight heel. 234 is much more roomy, especially in the forefoot area. 187 is qiute slim, I need to size up in that last. Similar to Carmina simpson imo

I can put you an extra 1.5 vibram heel and city sole, it’s a good extra protection. Rubber will simply be eaten with wear and time it’s how it is if you wear them often

I was looking at the GMTO Adelaide in Guimaraes Patina on Noble Shoe, and the one pictured here looks a fair amount lighter in color (particularly in the side shots) than the Guimaraes I have and have seen in other photos. It almost looks more like Algarve. Does anyone know if the shoe pictured is the way the GMTO will look?

Hello, it is my fault actually. It used to be a multi patina GMTO but I narrowed it down to Guimaraes a few days ago. The color you should expect is the main picture one. I will update them during the weekend as I am swarmed.

Edit: Correct pictures updated now

Thanks. What was the lighter color in the later pictures? Was it the Algarve?

Correct!

Correct!

I actually liked that one better. Looked beautiful. Will wait until I can get an adelaide in that color. Thanks

Thanks, I have previously done 3 gmtos on that color so I wanted something different. I am stocking the Guimaraes so we will see what we do with the algarve one!

 

[knittieguy]

Yes, looking back I see you did an adelaide in algarve in the spring. I wasn't looking at SF much at that time. Let me know if you ever offer it again. Beautiful shoe
