Hey dijor

First, lovely boots. :nodding:

If that's where they crease that's where they crease.

I have beautifully formed 'plates of meat' feet and as you'll find also one foot bigger than the other.

Can you walk comfortably in em?

What size are they?

I have a pair of Santoni boots. A bit concerned about the creasing on the vamp on the left foot. The right foot is a tada bigger and there is no creasing to be seen. They fit nor loose nor tight. Is this an indication that the boots are too big?
those look great. put an insole on the left shoe and you'll be fine. where did you buy them from?

Love the blue boots - and that creasing doesn't strike me as cause for concern.

I really like Santonis - and have two pairs - but I have no confidence buying them on-line because I find their sizing to be all over the map.

Exactly.

Santoni is one of the few brands we can get around here. I love that people around here don't know about the brand and they are buying Ferragamo, Gucci and LV with 30% off as maximum. I got my Chelseas from $9,000 pesos ($662.00 usd) for only $3,800 ($280.00), great deal!

What do you guys think of this shoe, the Santoni Terry Tassel Loafer? Sorry I can't link pics right now since just on my phone -

http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/santoni-terry-tassel-loafer/3395010

There's one my size on ebay I'm eyeing. Does anyone own shoes like these, aka suede tassel loafers? For work they'd be fine with light colored slacks, but wondering about casual settings. Like with jeans or shorts?

Thanks guys.

I tried on a pair of 8.5D Santoni FAM shoes in Nordstrom today. They were a dark brown cap toe and they fit OK, but I did not like the color. I tried them in both a 9 and an 8.5 and the 8.5 was tight, but felt like it would break in OK. However, I would not want it to be any smaller. I wear a 9 or a 9.5 in Allen Edmunds and a 9 or 9.5 in Gravati depending upon the last.

I was looking on line and saw some Santoni shoes from a couple places in Europe. The shoes are sized in UK sizes. They list a 7.5E UK as a 41.5 Euro and a 8.5D US. Does that feel like the size I should order. I see the UK to US conversion as being only half a size on some charts.

Cheers.
