The Santoni Wilson Oxford with Blake Construction is the quintessential dress shoe for the discerning gentleman who values Italian craftsmanship, timeless style, and superior flexibility. Handcrafted in Italy, this Oxford features a sleek, refined silhouette and is built using the flexible Blake stitching method, which allows for a close-cut sole and a lightweight, comfortable feel unmatched by heavier constructions. The Santoni Wilson is an essential investment piece, offering polished elegance for business meetings or formal events, with worldwide delivery available, including across Africa.

Key Features & Benefits

• Artisan Italian Craftsmanship: Each pair is meticulously handcrafted in Italy by expert shoemakers, guaranteeing superior quality, precision detailing, and lasting durability.
• Flexible Blake Construction: The sole is stitched directly to the upper, resulting in a lightweight, highly flexible shoe that reduces break-in time and increases comfort with every step.
• Premium Calfskin Leather: Constructed from high-quality, often hand-polished calfskin, providing a rich, lustrous finish and leather that develops a beautiful patina over time.
• Classic Oxford Styling: Features a traditional closed lacing system and clean cap toe, making it the definitive choice for formal wear, business, and sophisticated occasions.
• Comfort-Focused Interior: Lined with soft, breathable leather that ensures a plush feel and helps regulate temperature for all-day comfort.

Care & Maintenance Tips

• Regular Polishing: Use a high-quality, neutral or colored shoe cream appropriate for calfskin leather to nourish the hide and maintain the rich luster.
• Use Cedar Shoe Trees: Always insert untreated cedar shoe trees immediately after wearing to absorb moisture and maintain the shoe’s elegant Oxford shape.
• Protect the Sole: Since the Blake construction features a closer-cut leather sole, avoid excessive moisture and consider having a qualified cobbler add a protective rubber topy for high-wear areas.
