Santoni Dark Brown Suede City-Sole Double Monk + Belt

Discover the Santoni Dark Brown Suede City-Sole Double Monk, a double monk that resolves the tension between dressed appearance and practical daily wear without compromising either. The dark brown suede is soft and warm, the napped surface giving the colour a depth and character that polished leather approaches differently, the tone sitting naturally against the full range of autumn and winter tailoring from flannel to tweed to cashmere. The double monk configuration crosses the vamp with its two buckled straps with the clean, precise geometry the style demands, and the suede gives the silhouette a relaxed, slightly country register that makes the shoe as appropriate with chinos and cord as it is beneath a suit trouser. The City-Sole rubber sole is the practical intelligence of the construction, providing grip and weather resistance for daily urban wear without the rigidity that a hard leather sole demands on city pavements, the shoe performing across a full day of walking with the ease that a dress shoe on a leather sole rarely sustains. Cedar wooden shoe trees and dustbags are included, the correct accompaniment for a suede shoe worth maintaining properly between wearings.

Santoni applies to its City-Sole range the same standard of leather selection and upper construction that governs everything else the Corridonia house produces, the rubber sole a concession to practicality rather than to quality. A dark brown suede double monk built this way is simply a very good shoe for the man who wears his tailoring in the real world and needs his footwear to keep up with it.

Santoni's story fits the luxury brand that is Santoni. Andrea and Rosa, founders of Santoni shoes, founded their studio in 1975. Their goal was to create perfect state-of-the-art shoes for true connoisseurs and therefore produce shoes that were made and sold exclusively in their own workshops.

To preserve the beauty and integrity , we recommend following a few specific guidelines: avoid prolonged exposure to sources of light, heat and humidity; avoid contact with greasy or oily substances, make-up, perfumes or solvents; it is best to avoid contact with water and place cedar wooden shoe trees in the pair after wear.

The suede shows subtle signs of wear, while the belt displays more pronounced wear, including a slight sheen from use. These signs have been reflected in the asking price, and the piece remains ready for a second life.
