Carlos Santos Shoes - Feedback & Appreciation

[RogerP]

Picked these up from Herring, made by CS for Herrings. I’ve had a pair before which were thre most beautiful boot ever but were just too tight. These were reviewed as being wider and sure enough I could wear with thicker socks as a true to size boot. Picked up on sale so happy with my purchase.

Just ordered CS wingtip last 316 7,5 UK at cavour.co they have 50% off some of their shoes.
Do you have any idea on how's CS last 316 compared to Meermin's Rui last? I have size UK8 on Meermin's rui last and they are voluminous have to use thick socks to have a better fit, so I half sized down with CS Oxfords 316 to 7,5. I did not have enough time to evaluate because they are selling fast and have to steal one before they are gone. Any one here who has reference between these 2 Lasts? Thank you in advanced!

Thank you! I think I made the right choice. Let's see on monday. Because UK7 might be too tight. I have short wide feet

Is that the churchstow? Similar to the jumper on the 234 last. I’ve just received a pair of jumpers and really not sure about them. They feel too pointy for me. Shame if I send them back though, they’re amazing boots.

PM me size, last and pics. I may be interested

I thought Hiro last is sleeker and narrow than Rui last. But thank you hope 316 will fit half size down

Yes the Churchstow. Got them half price as were a customer return (unworn) so circa £135, awful lot of boot for the money. Was attracted to the Norwegian welt, for no other reason than I didn’t have a boot with it! They look really pointy in pictures but I think look well in real world conditions.

Nice! I ordered wingtip oxfords on Coimbra.
They look lighter on you photo or just the lighting? I haven't received them yet but on the website they look darker.
