Santoni

The Real Art of Walking

Santoni is a famous shoe brand whose name sounds like a distinct note. Founded in 1975 in the city of Corridonia, it declared from the beginning: quality and style cannot be mass-produced. Over the decades, the brand has become a symbol of shoe craftsmanship, preserving the rare ability to combine ancient craft techniques and up-to-date design. Today, the Santoni brand is a family affair involving not just professionals, but true enthusiasts with a mania for detail. Andrea Santoni, the son of the founder, runs the company and it is under his leadership that the brand has gained worldwide recognition.

What sets Santoni apart from the rest? Firstly, its own factory, where every pair is handmade. Secondly, the cult of leather, where only selected raw materials are used, processed without chemicals. And another highlight is the signature hand-dyeing, which gives the leather a completely different look. It's no wonder that those who are looking not just for shoes, but for an aesthetic extension of their character want to buy Santoni.

What is the Santoni brand's specialty?

Santoni's core value is honesty. The real shoes of the company are not stamped on a stream, but are created step by step, according to all the laws of classical production. Each pair passes through the hands of at least ten craftsmen, each of whom is responsible for a specific stage of production. This is not a simple assembly line production, but a technology that has been honed over the years.

The Santoni brand stands out among others for its handmade, natural materials, as well as exclusive leather coloring and the highest ergonomics. The company is known for its ability to create both traditional oxfords and loafers and ultra-modern sneakers or snickers, while maintaining a style that is intelligent, slightly restrained but recognizable. And the boundary between formal and casual footwear is almost erased: Santoni is comfortable to wear in any situation, from a business dinner to a Sunday stroll.

The brand is particularly proud of the patina effect, a technique that involves hand-dyeing the leather in several layers. This gives pairs a vibrant depth of color that doesn't fade, but rather gets better over the years.

The key product groups that the Santoni brand produces:

• derbies and oxfords;
• loafers and monkies;
• keds and snickers;
• boots and chelsea boots;
• belt belts and leather goods

From startup to international fame

The story of Santoni is an example of how a small family workshop can grow into an international luxury brand without changing its principles.

• It all started in 1975 when Mario Santoni decided to open a small shoe factory in his hometown. He had a simple but powerful idea: to combine the age-old traditions of Italian craftsmen with the relevance of the time and a refined aesthetic.
• Already in the 80s Santoni brand began to gain momentum thanks to the extraordinary softness of leather and perfect fit of shoes. The distinctive style - understated but impeccable - quickly resonated with those looking for the perfect balance between elegance and comfort.
• In 1990, Andrea Santoni, the son of the founder, takes over the company. He actively popularizes and expands the brand on the world market, opening boutiques in major capitals, including those outside Europe.
• By the early 2000s, Santoni has already collaborated with Mercedes-AMG, creating collections of luxury sports shoes, as well as launching limited edition capsules with Ferrari and IWC. And these are not just collaborations, but a fusion of design, technology and passion for detail. It is during this period that the firm enters new categories: sneakers, sports models as well as accessories.

Today Santoni brand is a shoe recognized as synonymous with "made in Italy" in the best sense. In the creation of each pair, each pair undergoes about 200 operations, control at every stage and a commitment to ensure that the result pleases the wearer for years, not seasons. In a world where much is automated, Santoni remains on the side of those who choose handmade with attention, depth of color and comfort that requires no explanation.
