If you have been following my articles in Misiu Academy, you would know how impatient I was for my newest shipment from Carlos Santos.
A family business of hand-made quality shoes from Portugal, Carlos Santos has been making shoes for decades. This time, I received one of the last orders of the famous Carlos Santos Patina Service from Skoaktiebolaget and I am here to let you know all about it.
So please welcome the Carlos Santos Double Monk Straps in Wine Shadow Patina in this comprehensive review. Is the hype real? Are they as good as they say?
Let’s find out!
We draw inspiration from celebrities and popular figures every day. Sometimes that is good while other times it is very, very bad. Not all of them are role models (or should they be at all?) but they seem to influence our lives one way or another.
The same applies to style. Instead of following hideous trends (looking at you LeBron James with the short suit pants..) we can look for inspiration from other sources. Tom Hiddleston is not only one of my favourite actors and villains from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he is also voted one of the most stylish men in the world.
This article goes through some of his stylistic choices and gives you alternatives or suggestions on how to replicate that look.
We all have been there. Be it shirts, sweaters, jackets or suits, we all have stained them once or twice. Unfortunately some fabrics such as worsted wool cannot be washed in our regular washing machines and have to be dry cleaned.
Did you know that dry cleaning is actually not dry? It just means that a solvent is used instead of water. Surprised? Maybe you should read our guide then and find out a few more things you should know about dry cleaning and when to dry clean your suit.
A Trunk Show is a creator’s chance to show their work in a more private audience. It usually also means that they give exclusive offers with reduced prices which translates into a great deal.
In today’s article you will receive insight from the Shoegazing Trunk Show 2018 in Stockholm. Organised by one of the most famous shoe-dedicated blogs in the world (Shoegazing), it was a wonderful opportunity for me and other attendees to connect with famous shoemakers from around the world.
Misiu Academy was there to give you an inside look and why YOU should attend at least one in your life.

Hello my friends all the way from magical Prague!
As I take a welcome 2 days off, I am happy to still present you with all the latest news from the shoe world of the past month! Rather quiet and consistent instead of exciting, most of the news focus on trunk shows, new releases and events.
Join me and let us take a look!
Earlier this month I got a chance to try on a new brand from Shanghai called Cie Shoes. My friend Mike from the USA received his pair and it was sadly a little big for him. Lucky for me the size was spot on for me and here we are today reviewing them!
It is a style I never thought I would wear, but it works fairly well. It is a Triple Monk Strap Boot with side zippers and a custom dark brown patina. Let’s take a look and see if it is a good buy or there are problems with it.
What a way to start 2020!
I had a chance to visit the Carlos Santos Factory near Porto in Portugal last week. I took more than 700 pictures and a lot of videos. I explored tons of new styles and never seen before models that gave me food for thought. Above everything, I met the whole family of Carlos Santos, who changed my life this past year. We talked shoes and we went through all the production of each pair of shoes.
Absolutely incredible. Read all about it in the latest article!
