On Sale at vente-privee: Santoni Goodyear-Welt Shoes
Sorry for the short notice–the sale ends tomorrow, April 2nd, at 9 AM Eastern–but I definitely thought this was worth a mention.
Santoni creates several lines of varying quality–I’d be wary of the loafers in this sale, but their “Classic” line of Goodyear-welt shoes are generally considered a solid buy, comparing favorably with Alden. Full retail on these ranges from around $500 to over $600, but in this sale they’re starting at $289. In other words, if you’re in the market for a pair of Allen Edmonds, seriously consider taking a look.
Pictured above are the split toe Thorpe, cap toe blucher Remington, brogued balmoral Townsend, and the cap toe oxford Griffen.
For myself, I went ahead and placed an order for the Thorpe. I’ve been wanting to try a split toe shoe for some time, and the Santoni Thorpe is praised on the various men’s style forums for its versatility and solid construction.
Someone also ought to check out the Griffen and the Remington–both shoes have been made with shell cordovan in the past.
