It all began in 1975, when Andrea Santoni founded the family business of the same name in the small Italian town of Corridonia, following his vision of combining Italian craftsmanship with the excellence of an exemplary shoe workshop. Masterful precision and a passion for detail are the core elements of the label. Giuseppe Santoni, son of the founder, continues to run the company, which now employs 700 people. They are all proof of what Santoni products "Made in Italy" mean: The spirit of the times combined with skilful craftsmanship – resulting in incomparable unique pieces that delight shoe lovers worldwide.
The outstanding Santoni manufactory stands for its unrivalled designs. Italian master shoemakers with passion, above all Giuseppe Santoni, develop footwear according to traditional craftsmanship. The highest level of attention is paid to leather processing. The result is long-lasting business shoes such as smooth leather and suede Full brogues, which go well with designer suits for men. Casual shoes such as Santoni loafers for men also bear witness to the brand's expertise. You can recognise a "real" Santoni by the following attributes:
Santoni leather shoes are known for their exceptional quality and comfortable feel, which many men value. This is due in part to the "Goodyear stitching". One of the classic methods when it comes to making shoes, especially models for business occasions. It is the durability, value and high quality that characterise this style. The technique is used in numerous models from the brand and makes the shoes comfortable and soft. The shoe upper and the insole are sewn together with a thin strip of leather, followed by the outsole. This process makes the model particularly durable and the sole can be replaced even years later.
Another type of construction that Santoni uses for example for its Chelsea boots, is the Blake process. In contrast to the welted technique, the shoes are sewn through without a welt or midsole. The outsole, the upper and the insole are sewn directly together – the process makes the shoe particularly light.
At Santoni, craftsmanship is the key to quality. Santoni shoes for men are therefore loyal companions even after years of wear. Thanks to the professional leather processing, the manufacturer ensures that shoes from its workshop retain their elegant appearance even after a long period of wear without losing their high level of comfort. A pair of lace-up shoes such as the Santoni Oxford shoes are made with 600 stitches. All the stitching is done by hand. Only a few shoemakers still master this art – the Santoni shoe manufactory is one of them. It takes around two weeks to complete a handmade Santoni shoe.
A down-to-earth approach and a passion for design are the hallmarks of the Santoni brand to this day. Santoni's luxurious menswear designs are handcrafted using the latest in material research and the finest leathers. You can recognise a genuine Santoni menswear item by the following two characteristics:
Giuseppe Santoni continues the tradition of leather craftsmanship with an eye to future innovation and respect for the environment. The production of his leather goods is 75 per cent chemical-free, as the hand-selected calf and suede leathers are vegetable tanned. Adhesives are also virtually chemical free. Because sustainability is important to him, the company's building in Italy is made largely from recyclable materials. Electricity is generated by solar panels and a rainwater harvesting system conserves groundwater. The company also uses recyclable raw materials for packaging and does not use plastic.
The colours of Santoni shoes for men include classic shades such as natural brown, timeless black and elegant navy. The cleanly designed sneakers are dominated by sporty off-white or grey with skilful contrasting details.
Santoni is committed to providing customers with efficient products so that the high-quality shoes from the Italian manufacturer can be cared for in the best possible way. Use special sprays, shoe creams, polishing brushes in various sizes and efficient polishing towels for your Santoni shoes for men.
Shoe sizes are often labelled differently in various countries. Santoni uses UK sizes as standard, but also offers European size charts to help you find the ideal fit.
