Santoni Light Grey Suede Yalta Desert Boots

Discover the Yalta Desert Boot by Santoni—an Italian-crafted silhouette that melds clean desert-boot DNA with contemporary prowess. Rendered in soft light-grey calf suede using a subtle velatura shading technique, this mid-top boot bridges rugged minimalism and urbane refinement. The almond-shaped apron toe and absence of excessive detailing allow the texture and tone to speak, while leather trim around the collar lends a quietly polished finish.

Beneath its elegant upper lies a chunky rubber lug sole that provides confident traction without looking overly aggressive—well-suited to both slick pavements and casual country paths. Hand-stitched apron detailing ensures artisanal precision, while the fully leather-lined interior and branded insole offer comfort from the first step. Entirely made in Italy, the Yalta balances tactile luxury with practical wearability—a desert boot reimagined for modern, versatile use.

Santoni shoes generally run a bit large—many wearers find them slightly roomier and broader compared to other fine dress shoes. According to Santoni’s official size guidance, most people are advised to go down by half a UK size (e.g. if you're usually UK 9, go for UK 8.5) since the leather is initially stiff and broadens with wear.

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.
