Just a heads up on sizing, from leaves @ Skoak
Carlos Santos lasts Patrik (@Leaves)
Carlos Santos - 234: UK 11 Generous last with plenty room across the instep, great arch support. For me it fits very close to Carmina Rain, maybe a hair wider. Honestly one of the most comfortable RTW lasts I’ve tried. Carlos Santos - 160: UK 11 Also a quite generous last despite the sleek look. A bit more narrow than the 234 last and Carmina Rain. Carlos Santos - 187: UK 11.5 I had to size up half a size from 234 and 160. Still, not an optimal fit for my wide-ish feet. It's slim but not as slim as Carmina Simpson (which I have a problem even getting into). It's however longer than Simpson. Not an optimal last if you have a wide foot or high instep. Better for people with slim to normal width feet.

djaungFor what it's worth, I am a 10 D US in Allen Edmonds 65 and 511 last and a 9 UK on Carmina's Soller last. I just purchased a Carlos Santos derby boot on the 234 last in size 9 UK. I can concur that it is very generous in the toe box, length and volume. While it still feels good and fits with thin to medium dress socks, I get a better, near perfect fit with thicker boot socks. Since it's a boot, it's perfect. But if it were a derby shoe, I would most likely size down 1/2 to an 8.5 UK to get a more snug fit with dress socks and I've seen a few other people with similar responses. Hope this helps some people as I would most likely choose a 9 UK in these if I buy them.
