What construction Santoni uses? The current Santoni factory, located in Corridonia in the province of Macerata, covers more than 15, square meters. Since the start of Santoni, the factory and headquarters have been located in this town. Corridonia is also the birthplace of Andrea Santoni. The unique thing about Santoni is that, despite several takeover attempts, the company is still fully owned by the Santoni family. Santoni can proudly call itself a family business that has achieved great success.

Santoni uses different methods to make the high-quality footwear for men and women. Techniques used by Santoni include the Blake stitch method, the Goodyear method, the Bologna method, the Tubular method and the Bentivegna method.

Each type of shoe is made in his own way, taking into account the type of leather, the shape of the shoes and other important factors. With the Blake stitch method the outsole is sewn directly onto the insole. This creates more flexibility and a lighter shoe.

The creation method is named after its creator: Lyman Reed Blake. It is a very labour intensive but extremely reliable way to make shoes of the highest quality. With the Goodyear method the Santoni craftsman fills the cavity between the insole and the midsole with cork. Then the edge is sewn onto the sole and midsole with a so-called Rapid seam. The advantage of the Goodyear method is that the shoes will last a long time and provide a high water resistance.

On Santoni shoes it is mentioned when the shoes are made using the Goodyear method. Read more about the Goodyear method in our blog. Santoni has proven to make exclusive shoes of unprecedented quality for years. An excellent example is the application of the Goodyear technique, which guarantees a highly durable sole. A less expensive alternative is the Blake manufacturing method which is frequently used.

All models are handmade and beautifully finished by Santoni. You can recognize their craftsmanship by the manually patinated Santoni men's shoes. Transitions from, for example, dark brown to a slightly lighter shade are stylishly realized. The orange finish on the inside of the shoe and the dark heel add more value.

All Limited Edition versions also use this subtle but important color transition. Joined Sep 30, Messages Reaction score 0. Can anyone comment on the quality of these Santoni shoes?

In hand they just feel a level or two down from my Carmina, Cheaney and even Allen Edmonds. I can't tell if it's corrected grain leather, and also can't even tell if the orange sole is made out of leather or rubber. I looked for a general Santoni thread but couldn't find it. Thanks in advance. CloudLi Senior Member. Joined Jun 13, Messages Reaction score Inconsistent would be the best word to conclude the quality.

Santoni goodyear welted line is on par or better than CJ handgrade, Blake line varies a lot. Some leather quality is on par or even better than Carmina, some is worse than AE. Sutor is more consistent in leather quality at similar price. Proleet Distinguished Member. Joined Aug 27, Messages 1, Reaction score My guess is that sole is rubber. I can echo the above sentiment. I have about 10 pairs of Santoni and some are absolutely nop notch and worthy of their high price tag while others are less than Carmina and more at that Mark value wise.

These seem to fall in that latter category. Joined Feb 9, Messages 9, Reaction score 3, I've seen that pair in other stores. Not amazing. Jazzmenco Distinguished Member. Joined Jun 7, Messages 5, Reaction score 8, Santoni comes in several price levels.
