New In: This Winter's Arrivals at Socrati

Winter in South Africa means one thing at Socrati: the new season's shoes have finally cleared customs, and our shelves look completely different than they did in June. This drop spans all four of our houses: Cetti out of Elche, Claudio Mascialino's Mediterranean-inspired range, and a run of new boots and loafers built for the colder months. Here's what's worth your attention.

Tavira, by Cetti

Made in Spain, worn worldwide. The Tavira is a refined suede sneaker in tan or taupe, blending Old World leather technique with a modern sport-luxe sole. It's the kind of shoe that looks equally at home under tailoring or with denim, understated versatility done properly.

Rhodos, by Claudio Mascialino

A tailored leather loafer in black, navy or tan, the Rhodos carries the quiet authority of European craft into the everyday. Structured through the toe with a comfortable low heel, it moves easily from boardroom to dinner without missing a beat.

Tropea, by Claudio Mascialino

A softly structured loafer in beige, navy or olive, the Tropea brings a relaxed Mediterranean palette to a classic silhouette. The flexible leather sole means it wears in fast and wears well, a shoe built for long days, not just photographs.

Ubá, by Cetti

A clean lace-up Oxford in full-grain leather, offered in four colourways from classic black to a rich burgundy. It's the label's answer to the modern tailored wardrobe, structured through the toe, softened through the heel, built to age well.

Every pair above is now live and shipping across South Africa. As always: when they're gone, they're gone. We buy in small runs by design, not by algorithm.
