As a worldwide brand, we know that every man has a unique style that sets him apart. To be blunt, it is this individuality that ultimately adds a touch of personality to your ensemble.
Of course, one’s distinctive personal style is a unique blend of personality, preferences, and the ability to feel confident. Handcrafted shoes can play an integral part in this journey.
To understand your shoe style, begin by looking into your closet and try to answer the following questions:
Properly answering these questions will give you a starting point for the type of handcrafted shoes that best fit you.
Next, it is a matter of embracing inspiration and experimenting. Perhaps you've been drawn to the Monk Straps because of their distinctive buckle, or the Loafers for their slip-on convenience?
At Carlos Santos Shoes, we celebrate your uniqueness by offering a diverse range of handcrafted shoe styles – we are sure you will find a pair that will resonate with you.
In the realm of luxury handcrafted shoes for men, the adage 'less is more' rings true. Quality and comfort are key: while fashion is about expressing yourself, it should also feel comfortable and last you a long time.
Think quality over quantity: instead of amassing a collection of average shoes, invest in a few pairs of high-quality handcrafted shoes.
Look for handcrafted shoes made with premium leather or suede – more durable and breathable materials. Decide on the construction method (more on that below) and be sure to make a thorough inspection of the stitching, looking for neatness and consistency.
At Carlos Santos Shoes, we consider each pair of handcrafted shoes as a work of art crafted from the finest leathers and meticulous attention to detail, for an unparalleled quality of level.
Having in mind the crucial play of durability, comfort, and overall quality of a pair of handcrafted shoes, they should always be constructed according to the best construction method available: Goodyear Welt.
Goodyear Welt construction involves stitching a leather welt to the upper and a strip of preformed canvas (known as a "gemming") which is cemented to the insole of a shoe as an attach-point for the outsole. The space enclosed by the welt is then filled with cork or some other filler material, making the shoe durable, water-resistant, and re-soleable.
At Carlos Santos Shoes, we use the Goodyear Welt construction method to create handcrafted shoes that adapt to your style and purpose.
The right pair of handcrafted shoes is not just about style and comfort, it's also about the craftsmanship that goes into making them. So, explore our collection of handcrafted shoes online today and step into the world of quality craftsmanship.
