Elegant and boot are words that do not often go well together but Stanhope is an exception. The delicate brogueing combined with a traditional and sophisticated last shape make this boot stand out. We use the finest craftsmen at the top of their skills to create these Goodyear-welted boots so that you can enjoy the best shoe construction. 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. 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.
