Final price reduction. This is a U-tip shoe custom-made by [Aristocratico], a high-end, detail-oriented select shop in Osaka that reigned in the 1990s, for the Italian shoemaker [Santoni]. I believe that Aristocratico at this time had a stance of having high-end shoemakers create shoes as the shop's originals. This shoe is one of them. ○ Unlike most Italian shoes, it uses the Goodyear welt construction. ○ The sole is a double leather sole with a sophisticated design that divides the arch of the foot into two parts and uses different colors. ○ Furthermore, it is a hidden channel specification, which takes the extra step of hiding the sole's stitching thread. ○ The toe seam is skin-stitched. ○ Marked size: 8 Larger than UK size. Fits like a 27cm. My feet have a high instep, and I usually fit shoes based on the instep. These shoes fit me almost perfectly, with just a little room in the instep. The sizes of the shoes I wear are as follows. The fit is roughly the same as these. Please understand that this is just my personal opinion. ● Alden (Modified) 9E ● Paraboot (Chambord) 8.5 ● Lloyd Footwear 9E ● Church's 9F ● Tricker's 9-5 (Country Collection) ● Regal 26.5EEE (Standard product, Imperial Grade) ● Scotch Grain 26.5EEE ○ The heel's top lift is about to need replacing. ○ There is a feeling of use, but there is no critical damage such as cracks or tears in the upper. ○ Shipping included. ○ Shoe trees are for photography and are not included. #Aristocratico #Santoni
