Last 401: Last 401 is THE definitive Carlos Santos shape. A perfectly balanced, curved and chiseled almond shape that adds finesse and elegance to almost any model. It has also exceptional fitting feedback from most people. It has a wider width, elongated shape and generous instep that definitely needs half a size down.

The Construction of the shoe is one of it's most important aspects.

If you have specific questions about a shoe, don't hesitate to email us.
Finding your sizing in a new brand can be tricky, however we are experts in this field due to our extensive knowledge of most brands.
To find your size, you would need to use (or provide us with) your average dress shoe size.
The next step would be to look at the description and sizing advice of the shoes you are looking at. Many of our shoes have generous sizing and require half a size down.
Each shoe has an individual sizing advice tab in its description, or you can even refer to our in-depth guide. We strongly recommend that you email us or use the live chat function for advice.
Measurements, Brannock Devices and Sneakers do not help. Sneakers are wildly inconsistent, while measurements and tracings are required for Bespoke and Made To Measure items.
The Noble Shoe has a very flexible 14 Days Return Period for items in stock.
Very often, we travel or something happens with our lives and we forget. As long as it is within reason, we will not refuse a return due to the time.
To return a pair of shoes, they need to be in excellent condition without signs of wear and creasing and with all the original accessories and packaging. We strive to provide high end quality items and care for the experience that the next person will have.
For verification, we will ask you for 1-2 pictures to showcase the condition of the uppers and the sole and then we can proceed with your return.
For returns or exchanges, we charge a one time fee equal to the shipping label cost which is usually around $40 USD.
Custom Made Items (Single MTO, Patina Service, Group Made To Order) from Carlos Santos, Enzo Bonafe, Paolo Scafora, Crockett & Jones and items on clearance are final sale and cannot be returned or refunded.
All shoes are quality controlled before shipping, but if something happens or you notice a defect, we consider it our duty to help you and resolve the issues.

The Noble Shoe is not about sales, but passion.
When I started this brand, I loved shoes and my dream was to become a Bespoke Shoemaker.
I studied Bespoke Shoemaking at one of the best schools in the world: Stefano Bemer Bespoke in Florence (Italy).
A fully handmade shoe can take anywhere between 60-100 hours to produce, with the true definition of handmade and tradition.
Understanding what goes into a shoe and why is a key element to reply to all your technical questions.
There are very few remaining online stores that have the competence and knowledge that The Noble Shoe has.
