Carlos Santos Patina Service For The Noble Shoe

I love Carlos Santos

Bought my 2nd pair of Carlos Santos a few months ago. Kostas warned me the 'Bosco' color may turn out slightly different than what I'd expect, and it did, but not in a bad way. My Bosco derby's lean a bit more to mossy gray, than the greenish tint on stock photo's. They are also very susceptible to light, where they may look dark (almost black) with no lighting, and lightish grey with green tint when the sun hits them. Overall the shoes are not perfect, there's a few minor stitches that could be better, as well as some paint near the reversed stitching on the uppers, but I'd still rate these 9 out of 10. The last and handpainted finishing are a step up from my Loake's, and the overall construction solid. Both of these are my daily wearers on office days, and I'm very satisfied for the price I paid. Carlos Santos is now my go-to brand for day-to-day footwear and as a recommendation to others.

Shoes are very beautiful!

Great service, excellent products and beautiful patinas! Kostas replies promptly and behaves with utmost professionalism!

Single Monk

Kostas is passionate about his shoes, the service and communication he gives is excellent. My new Black Single Monks are a great shape and made of very good leather. I get many compliments on how stylish they look. My 3rd pair, i highly recommend Carlos Santos shoes.
