How would this Santoni Fit?

[Bob01]

Hey All,

Can anyone comment on how this Santoni Chelsea would fit? This is a UK 6. I have an EG (Kurt Geiger, Chelsea) UK 6E on the 202 last, AE Byron in 7D, AE Thayer 7D, AE Park Aves 7D

"Santoni

Chelsea Boot

First Super Castagna / 609

Goodyear Construction

Handmade in Italy to the highest standards of craftsmanship

Extraordinary calf leather learns the shape of your foot for a near-custom fit.

Brown Leather

Finest leather upper, lining and goodyear welted sole

SZ.: UK 6 / US 7 to 7.5

Outsole: 12" x 4.5""

Was thinking this would be my winter boot. Most likely to be worn with Jeans and Chinos, maybe wool dress pants.

From the molding on the sole, it looks like this model name might be "gaoutchoug"... I think I might have found it on Nordstrom's site - name there is Humphrey: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2944634?...3-000423bb4e79 Anyone have/tried this boot or can comment on the last? Thanks!

Outsole: 12" x 4.5" - if that's not a typo, they will fit f-ing huge on you!

Size 6 in Santoni fam =US 8
However, this boot's outsole is way too long , so I expect this boot to fit more like US 8.5

I think you may be on as Santoni's have very elongated lasts. Did you try contacting the seller?

 

[Bob01]

Looks like someone already asked him/her the Question....

"Q: \tAre you sure the measurements that you posted are accurate, 12" X 4.5"? These measuements seem very large, esp. the width, for a 6D Santoni shoe.

A: \tThey do run large"

So I assume the consensus - these will probably fit closer to a much larger size - ie 8/8.5 US?

"Caoutchouc" means "rubber" in French, and perhaps other languages as well. It is referring to the makeup of the sole and is not the name of the model.

i don't care if they are triple soled, 12" by 4.5" is huuuuuuge.

Im a UK nine and most of my shoes are around 12" by 4.25" - perhaps the seller got his 9 upside down and these are a widish fitting UK 9 or EU 43.

Uk 9 is 9.5 or 10 US.

Ask for a photo of any text inside the shoe or on the box to clarify.
