Thank you, they are built on the Z416 last.

I asked Ana Santos to compare the 234 last with the 416, and this is what she answered me:

Last Z416 has a little bit less instep. There is less room.
Width Z234 for size 8: 100mm
Width Z416 for size 8: 95.5mm
Still, the last Z416 is considered with a good fitting.
According to technician expertise, the last Z416 has more room for the toes. That’s why it might fit a bit better than Z234.

Day out with my Franks. Last is very sleek

Does anyone can appreciate this "bandage" double monk?

Just received a pair of 1842 from the Herring sale. Beautiful patina and love the 401 last!

Maiden voyage on the 1842s today. Thought the 401 last would be similar to the 316 however it is actually much roomier and wider at the heel

My first pairs of Carlos Santos shoes. 1198 handgrade oxfords in a rich braga patina and 6307 single monks in dark coimbra patina with a matching belt. Absolutely love them so far.

How do you find the CS patinas wear over time? Do they maintain their color? Chip/crack?

Is there a list of shoes on the 401 (almond toe) last?

Jumper boots in wine shadow patina. Pairs well with business casual attire.

Hi guys, I could use some insight into sizing a new pair of the Z401 last.

In general:
- Brannock 11, 282mm long and 112mm wide with thin socks
- Loake Capital last > Clear UK10, UK9.5 too narrow
- Barker 460 Country last > Had to size down from UK10 to 9.5
- Red Wing 8 last > Tried an UK9 and settled on a UK9.5

My feet are slightly on the wider side, but generally not enough to go with a G-fit. It's a 2nd hand purchase, so don't have the option to return (as they are still new, shouldn't take a massive hit either).

Could you advice me?
