Thruxton II is a new design that echoes a racing boot like those worn in Formula one. This version is a development of our successful Silverstone shoe made in fine, hand patinated leathers to give a two-tone racing stripe effect. They are superbly comfortable to wear with a padded collar and insole. These shoes are hand-patinated individually in the Carlos Santos factory so there can be a noticeable variation of colour from the shoes you receive to the picture on the website. The leather lining may also vary in colour. 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 but we may be able to get them re-finished at the factory for you at your cost.
