Carlos Santos Shoes - Feedback & Appreciation

[ElAleman]

Not Horween and not worth it sorry. Price is astronomical.

Why not Horween at such an exorbitant price quote? No good value pricing.

Happy Friday! First test drive with the Cordovan Adelaide. I love the last. Tons of arch support for my flat feet. Very comfortable for RTW. Wow!

A few cool new stuff I got in my collection

First time posting in this forum.

Just bought my first two pairs of Carlos Santos shoes, boots to be more precise. Since I'm in the southern hemisphere, it's boot season here and European summer sales are hard to resist.

Since I wasn't familiar with the CS lasts and fitting on my feet, I opted to try out Herring and their Cordwainer Membership, which offers free shipping and free returns worldwide. I bought a pair of oxfords in 9UK, my size in TLB mainline, and they were too big. So I returned them and with the guidance of Sean at Herring, I ended up ordering the same model in boots, called the Herring Lawrie boots made by CS in the Z160 last.

I had my doubts about the last. It's slim and elongated and I was afraid it wouldn't work for me. I have flat feet, overpronate and have very low instep. I usually end up using insoles on medium instep shoes like Carmina Forest and TLB Main and Artista due to my "low volume".

The fit of the Z160 last was a surprise, particularly in the forefront. Low instep which for me was a blessing, snug but not tight, wiggle room and comfort. Just perfect.

Since I overpronate, I usually have gapping issues with slim heel shoes. I suspect that I'd have gapping on the Z160 last in regular shoes, but since these are boots, problem solved. (In addition, I think that boots hold ankles in place reducing my overpronation.)

Customer service at Herring was impecable. Very patient and quick replies. I ended up buying a second pair of CS Chealsea's on the 401 last that were on sale, just because of their great service.

Pics attached of first pair of boots.

Hi everyone, sizing question as I've never bought Carlos Santos before. I have been most accurately sized as 10.5A/C in Alden's Hampton last, so that's what I use as a reference. I saw a good deal on a 9UK pair of the 9889 oxfords and was wondering if you thought those would fit. Thanks!

Probably yes, even though I don't know how the Alden's Hampton last fit.

According to the last description on The Noble Shoe site, the 9889 Oxford is built on the 445 last and they recommend sizing down from your TTS:

"Last 445: New Last that looks like Edward Green's 82. Fits very similar to the 401 so Size Down Half from your regular TTS".

I haven't tried that Alden last, looks like it's narrow. The 445/401 lasts are not narrow. I believe they are a UK F.

I take a 10.5D on AE 65 last and it's pretty close to a perfect fit. I go down to a 8.5UK on most CS shoes. The 401 en particular in 8.5UK feels a tad roomier to me than the AE 65 last in 10.5D.

For reference I have low insteps, flat feet and overpronate, and am a 10/10.25 D aprox.
on Brannock device.

Hey all! Does anyone own or have some pictures of any of the dark oak calf color? I'm specifically interested in the 9899, but I can't seem to find any reference shots beyond the ones on The Noble Shoe. I'm looking to complete a 3-piece collection of a black, burgundy and medium brown cap toe oxfords for a weekly rotation, and I'm trying to figure out if this color will work best. I mostly wear suits in the colors of somewhat-lighter-than-normal navy, dark grey (not quite charcoal), or dark green, so any input on if this color would work well with these would be appreciated! Pics welcome!

Well, I have two pair of boots coming from AFPOS one on 333 round and other 234 (I think) soft square. AFPOS recommended TTS UK sizing (down one from US) so I did. I'm a 11.5D Brannock with a high instep, did I screw up? At the sale prices I can't see how I could turn it down. Well, the grandson is a half size smaller than me so he can have them if they don't fit.
