Joseph is a new austerity-brogued chukka boot style on the ever popular 160 last. This elegant shape has the benefit of a longer toe area and a great fit. Using the hand patination techniques, of which they are masters, the craftsmen of the Carlos Santos factory make these shoes using the finest leathers and a delicate mixture of waxes and creams to make every pair unique. These shoes are hand-patinated individually so there can be a noticeable variation of colour from the shoes you receive to the picture on the website. We always strive to get consistency but in a hand-finished product this is not always possible and is a sign of quality. Please note that we would only advise using a gentle wax-based cream or polish to protect carefully hand-finished shoes such as these. Harsh products such as renovating creams, high solvent based products and rain protectors may strip the carefully applied finish. If this happens we will not be able to refund the shoes although we may be able to get them re-finished at the factory for you at your cost.
