Santoni Fatte a Mano 9.5 UK -10.5 US Brown Hand Antiqued Leather Oxford Italy

Santoni Fatte a Mano — a seriously beautiful pair of Italian shoes.  These are one of those pairs that are difficult to photograph well enough to do them justice. Supple brown calfskin with a gorgeous hand-antiqued patina ranging from warm tobacco/taupe through deeper espresso at the toe, heel and quarters.  The workmanship is exceptional. Look closely at the fine contrast stitching, sculpted pattern work around the quarters, elegant cap toe and the beautifully executed perforated medallion detailing. The long, refined last and low-profile sole give these that unmistakable high-end Italian silhouette.  Made in Italy.  Marked 9½ D inside, style/model number 11207550.  These have been carefully refreshed using premium Saphir shoe-care products.

Preowned condition with normal signs of wear consistent with a quality pair of leather-soled shoes. Leather uppers present beautifully. Original leather soles show wear, photographed clearly. Heels have protective Santoni-branded rubber inserts/taps. Please review all photos closely as they are part of the condition description.  Shoes only; cedar shoe trees are not included.  A particularly handsome example of Santoni’s
