What under 1000, I've ask its above 1000
@@devinfahada4880 acmeshoemaker.com/product/7137-the-marvel-captoe-double-monk/ It’s $950 USD.
Didn't they immediately apologize and offer to remake? Mistakes happen right? You offered a somewhat weird proposition that you would get to wear them for awhile and then decide. Businesses need to move on from a sale and can't have open ended agreements like that. I don't think your story detracts from Carmina. Certainly not for me. I've bought 3 pairs since this story came out.
@@hoosiercoinreview6428 yeah Carmina makes nice shoes! Glad to hear they’re doing well! As far as the experience, it was the 2nd or 3rd pair, custom ordered, in row within a few months that all had similar issues. They didn’t immediately offer that, and to my recollection I proposed a solution in absence of a proposed solution from them and because they already had to remake that pair of boots 2 times. And I didn’t feel it was appropriate to have them remake it again, if it wasn’t absolutely necessary. But either way, glad they’re doing well!
Can I pull them up for formals
wonderful collection. Mind if I ask where you got that lovely shoe cabunet from?
If I ever made it to New York, visiting this shoe store is high on my list of things to do. Sadly JF will be online only except for a lucky few who will be able to make an appointment to see him. Great man and great brand.
Im a surveyor (the engineers they were originally made for) and i wear them
I see the heritage brands you mentioned as the only viable options for work. Going up from these brands is for people who really like shoes
hi are they light weight?
I would love a light leather color Role Club engineer boot like this.. I got some black Horween Horsehide Wesco Mr. Lou's the other month and now I really really like engineer boots.. love just being able to slip them on.. so convenient.. and its more leather there to love! I actually think your Clinch shape looks more sleek.. but finishing wise.., nothing beats Role Club imo.. and damn, do I love his outsoles.. I also like that he does them a little shorter than most.. thanks..
Man , you’re cutting through my heart 😢😢
I would like to introduce you to a brand from Iran that has been making fully handmade RTW shoes by experienced shoemakers for more than 70 years. The price of these shoes, which takes two months to make, is about 200 dollars, and this price is unbelievable. sisishoe
what did each of these shoes cost?
@@mtbokor1969 the one was a sample. I honestly don’t remember on the shell cordovan one. In the $2500 range I presume
Who made the chocolae suede shoe? You didn't say. I think it is from AM.
I'm 6 foot tall and my foot measured 9.5 inches in length standing so I wear a size 10. Is this correct?
My shoes just fall of. They didn't have a size 9
@@TruthTriumphs786 I’d suggest getting the right size then
yes,, please do more elaborate videos on the differences in Horween, Rocado, Shinki, and Maryam.. they appear to be the main players for Shell and so far I've only had Horweens.. very curious to try the other tanneries offerings.. especially Rocado marble or museum.. thanks!
How to order
Entre los españoles la marca TLB Mallorca tiene hormas exactas para cada modelo especifico. En cambio Carmina sorprendentemente solo tiene una horma generica para todos.
Great tips! Thank you so much for sharing and showing off my products!
@@dapperwoodworks thank you Justin! I think we need to start development on the Dapper Shoerack! 😂💪🏻. There’s a demand!
The most important difference you need to understand is that Shinki Cordovan are a well-finished horse butt . it is not a shell like the Horween. The front side of the shinki has hair follicles, the back side is well-processed pulp.
One thought I would like to add about the value of a proper fit is that the item will function properly. Duh to myself! I totally agree with you about caring for our shoes and jeans. I have to admit/confess that I wash and then dry my jeans in the dryer until they are dry. What!??? The pattern used for the Relaxed Fit Lee Jeans is the perfect fit for me. They seem to get a little stretched out some after a wear or two, and the drying in the dryer seems to bring them back to the fit I prefer. They last for years and are not expensive. Just my 4 cents.
@@arthurcatalanotto1151 yeah for sure and honestly the main thing is the care process works for you and the pair fits well!
Man, even getting your hands on either of these two seems like a real chore.
Great advice. Fit is everything, definitely.
@@darrenhall7454 thanks Darren! Yeah its the easiest thing to get wrong but the hardest to get right
Could you provide some details about the shoe/boot shelf? That's much more elegant looking than anything I've seen elsewhere. Thanks!
@@Korulag76 yeah! I actually just bought an unfinished bookcase from Home Depot and did the shelves and stain myself to match the piece from @dapperwoodworks! I say we overload Justin with requests for shoe racks until he starts to sell them for all of us!

Yeah, I want my leather shoes to look like leather, not paint.
biggest problem i find is size are not standard , and you have differnet expectation for winter or summer shoes , i like wearing a big insole and big sooks on my winter shoes , often i size up for that ,
alignment really matters. Mine V tip was not accurately aligned to the stitch which made me feel awful
You can 100 percent feel the difference in leather between Edward Green and Carmina.
Super helpful video, thank you!
I completely dig oxford boots. And you don't have to get that spendy. Allen Edmonds "Hamiltons" are essentially a split-welted version of Strands, and it's a fantastic boot that dresses up or down and can be had very reasonably during any of their major sales. I certainly don't mind a derby boot, but there's just something about an oxford that takes it up a notch. BTW, I'd say size up one width in Allen Edmonds oxford boots, i.e., order an E instead of a D if that's where you measure on a Brannock device. That particular last just runs narrow, and the E provides what I would normally expect in a D in the forefoot. Glad to see another fan of oxford boots. And people notice them.
Are navy suede shoes versatile ?
What products do you recommend for taking care of peccary leather?
My experience with TLB was terrible. Received Balmoral Brogue with severe heal block out of balance on one of the shoes. It seesawed about 1/2 inch on front edge of heel block. Took several weeks to get customer service responses. After two months of emailing them I finally received shipping label. Sent shoes back and all they did was replace heel stack on both shoes without fixing the issue. Essentially they sent me back the shoe with exact same problem. I’ve reached out three times by email to make them aware of what happened and they stopped responding all together. What these product review channels never address is the product sent to a ‘reviewer’ goes through a completely different scrutiny than what the general public product gets. That is true with the customer service piece as well.

Hello, from South Africa. Thanks for the informative videos. I've only recently discovered your channel, and thoroughly enjoy your videos!
Excellent video! Love your collection!
That upper is not great. There’s already visible signs of sugariness which is not good.. definitely not at a near 500 USD price piint
Серьёзно с носками и в длинных брюках ?
how did you size your clinch boots?
Amazing boots
🤩
I have to agree on the shape of the shoe, doesn't look that attractive.
My favorite shoe from Lee are the 3 eyelet derby in blue and the Horween Chuka. I have the lazyman RTW but in a custom patina. THey look great on my feet.
Shoes really! Last year i got rid of 10 pairs! I regret some of them but just not enough time to wear them all! Strictly one pair a year now same with a quality coat! Watches don’t really do it for me in the way shoes do. A video of a pair of hands running up and down a pair of premium handmade shoes sends me into a shoegasm. Weird i know but if i went to a jewellers and the guy said I’ve got three steel sports Rollies for you to try on it just wouldn’t do it for me any more than my Timex easyreader! Different strokes for different folks i guess😂
Been wearing western (cowboy/biker) boots for 30 years, and I love leather soles - BUT... Living in Ireland, I appreciate the value that rubber outer soles add to a pair of footwear!! Role Club's work appears to be phenominal! (the details around the rubber sole remind me of the red WW2 paratrooper boots). Inconsistencies in the finish are, to me, a sign of hand-finished craftsmanship; but that's just my opinion... :) Nice review... Thanks.
Hi Shellvedge, what's the significant difference between saphir cordovan cream and this product? Thanks!
Check this part of the podcast out! I talked to the owner of Pure Polish Products about the differences and what makes Pure Polish Products unique and in my experience more effective than others (specifically saphir). th-cam.com/video/N4HDtavs89g/w-d-xo.html&si=O3a2gsE93CJYrYjz
this or Saphir renovator
This!
Thanks for making content. Are the toe taps necessary if I am getting vibram explosions? I feel like the vibram will protect the tips enough, but I am not sure.
It can help, but the leather welt will still deteriorate because the rubber will flex and still pass on the wear through to the toe. It’s better than nothing, but including the toe plate will for sure be more protective and more resilient.
21 pairs I’ve probably got 50 odd and had more but was ribbed by family members as to “who do you think you are?….A caterpillar 🐛 “😂 so I sold a few! Around the Crockett Jones Cheaney and Edward Green myself! Love your mercariello collection!
