Excellent review my friend. The addition of the shoes on the hoof, and a bit of a pairing idea is a welcomed addition. Looking forward to another review!

Awesome review, I greatly appreciated your shots of wearing and walking on them! Even if it's short, it really takes your reviews where others don't. Bravo!
Thanks, it’s super hard to do it alone and I really don’t know what to do for more seconds. Stand there? Change outfits? I think I can work some more angles or shots but for a one man job it’s tough I tell you! I do the filming, the editing and everything! But hopefully if the channel grows I can get some help!
Now I own this exact shoe and am thrilled. They look great. The finish work is amazing. I ordered mine with toe taps and half rubber topy. THe toe tap is flush and perfect. I love the fit and cant believe the incredible value. I ordered them from Arterton and think they provide the best customer service.. I am a huge fan of Yearn shoes
@@MisiuAcademy Jamie has been amazing in helping me order 4 pair of Yearn. The level of custimer service matches what you provide. And customer service is a differentiating factor in todays internet shopping experience.
Great review as always my friend. Yearn is definitely getting more and more attention. I like this model but to a certain point. The construction and looks are awesome at this price point. I have a bad joke for you, free to use! I tell dad jokes and sometimes he laughs.
apparently they have a new last from what ive read/heard, maybe thatll deal with the fit issues youve described when talking about them in your best dress shoes 2022 either way, they look like great value and looking forward for more amazing videos :)
I had a Blake stitched suede single monk strap. which I loved. I like the look of these shoes am will be keeping my eyes open for a single monk shoe....that said, I'm excitedly awaiting my Carlos Santos austerity brogues for The Nobel Shoe to be delivered in a couple of says (did i mention that I'm excited?). Enjoyed the review - bravo. Did I mention that I'm excited about a recent shoe purchase? Thanks Tony
i really like those shoes and I too love monkstraps. I really wanted double monkstraps for my starter shoes, but had to settle on the single one, as it was the only one available and was in a sale. Since then, I have yet to own a pair of double monk strapped one. And to be honest, I think the single strap is the best. It's girthier and easier to strap on and off. Double monkstraps feel finicky and as you say, 3 monk straps just an idiot strap. I think I'm going to have to be unoriginal and simply ask for your style shoe in my size. A super solid design.
@@MisiuAcademy I have a question if you can answer about fit. This is the Lazyman shoes they do at Yearn. I find when I try on their shoes it makes that vaccum sound. Which seems like a solid fit already. The last of the shoes have a low instep. Whereas I've been told I have a high instep. But I haven't had much verification on that. I just can't tell if the shoes are too tight or if its just snug across the vamp / instep or not. It fits perfectly everywhere else. A few sides of me is thinking this. Maybe the shoe will slightly stretch overtime across the instep region, which will turn this into the most comfortable pair. It does create the smallest tingling vibrations in my largest foot, if I'm sitting down resting my foot. There's no pain, not when walking or standing or what not. I haven't tried stepping on the toes. It feels like a 3 second pulse vibration. Do you know what this is? I've read guide and it seems like this should be a good fit due to the vaccum, but I wonder if it's the same useless tip as the shirt collar trick. Where you place two fingers between your neck and shirt collar, and you can tell if its too big or too snug, it's a widely spoken advice yet not useful at all. The shoe feels like an excellent fit no problems at all while standing up, or walking around while not bending my toes. When sitting down in a relaxed position, thats when I get a bit of tingling on my largest foot. Maybe I need to go half a size up for it. That's what I'm thinking. or a different last. or a shoe that has a normal lacing system, rather than a Lazyman lacing system. EDITED: I'm going to go half a size up and go from there, and order a size 9 UK and half a size up of their double monkstraps which are the same last, then go from there to get an idea of fit. It may be too long then, but I don't think this will be the case. In fact I'm measurement on 10.4 inches, which I think equates to a size 8 on their website, but due to my instep most shoes do not fit. It has to be a size 9 at this point. So in total 3 more pairs of shoes to try on... great!!! oof. this is why I hate ordering online shoes doh.
I got the shoes. Didng get the topys and trimiph guards, only the trimiph guards. Bit annoying! But maybe for the best since i discovered leather oils sole protectors Apart from that, fantastic. Ill have to write in again soon to see how i get along with them after a month. Slight heel slippage on the right foot. Though it probably is expected. I cant fit the finger tip into the shoe. It just needs wear in the inner heel The shoes felt like i was wearing slippers. super light and comfy. Comfiest pairs i own.
I found tlb more consistent and far easier to fit. The leather on my yearn pair was a little meh in some areas. There won’t be an advantage just because they are handmade, in the end go for aesthetics both will be good shoes!
There is a price difference and it shows. My Yeossal is one of the nicest shoes I have and one of the best rtw fits. Then again it cost much more than this!
i swear to God, i am extremely tempted to buy their Double Monk Strap shoes BUT BUT BUT the MAIN thing that is discouraging me is knowing that they are 'Made in China'....i wonder if they would even last more than a year considering that i walk around a lot.. anyone who experienced their Yearn shoe long lasting, please drop me some words of encouragement
I have a few higher end shoes made in China and they are pretty good. My Yeossal is one of my favorite pairs, in fact I am wearing them right now. You shouldn’t worry about longevity at these prices it should be fine
@@MisiuAcademy Thank you so much dear friend. Also congrats on the great videos Please make a video on Loake Shoemakers, Carmina etc Your videos are seriously amazing
Thank you. You can read my review on loake on the blog. It is an old one and my opinion has changed. I wouldn’t buy them again. Carmina is ok but I refuse to spend money on them.
@@MisiuAcademy thank you sooooo much. Will go read your blog asap. Omg sad to hear you wouldn’t spend on both Loake & Carmina. I planned to buy the Loake Loafer (Tassel) Russell model and from Carmina their Oxford! Now I will think thrice!!!
@@MisiuAcademy oh I found it on the Arterton site. One other question is it an elongated toe? Is there a lot of space between your toe and the front of the shoe?

Thanks my friend!!
I love the idea of a split toe single monk strap.
It’s a great alternative to the much more expensive Gaziano & Girling version!

Quite a good choice too. Possibly you could request skin stitched too!

@@MisiuAcademy what you did was perfect!
Thanks! I will do it for all reviews apart from showcases that are not allowed to be worn! (Client pairs)
I like the Y07 last a lot, it works super well with my wide toes.
Great 👍🏻

After a while.. what do you think of yearn compared to tlb mallorca?
I found tlb more consistent and far easier to fit. The leather on my yearn pair was a little meh in some areas. There won’t be an advantage just because they are handmade, in the end go for aesthetics both will be good shoes!
I burst into laughter when you said if it's 3 or 4 straps, then it's called an idiotic monk strap.
It came out naturally! Just trying to bring some humor on the table!
@@MisiuAcademy monotonous and natural, that’s why it was funny 🤣🤣
it's pronounced tee-hr, rhymes with beer, not as tyre, which rhymes with fire.
Too many languages in my head (5) I’ll take a pass on this one 🥷
Good to see your videos, Kostas. Are you familiar with TLB Mallorca single monk?
Thanks for watching mark! I am not familiar with it but I did have a pair of artista oxfords. They were pretty good shoes
As for workmanship, yearn or oct10th/yeossal, which one do you prefer? cheers!
There is a price difference and it shows. My Yeossal is one of the nicest shoes I have and one of the best rtw fits. Then again it cost much more than this!
@@MisiuAcademy maybe you can do a video comparison on yeossal and yearn! Would be really great to learn about the differences in quality 😊
I can try!
Whats your thoughts on this... Oxfords or Lazymans with jeans?
Lazyman is usually more appropriate but that’s just me

Hi. How you think about the thermoplastic heel stiffener, did you see there any issues with it? Thanks!
Not really it doesn’t make much of a difference for me!
@@MisiuAcademy Thanks for your opinion. 👍
Had a look at their website but I can't see this model for sale any longer under their monksttap section. Was it an MTO shoe when you got it?
It is an MTO yes
@@MisiuAcademy oh I found it on the Arterton site. One other question is it an elongated toe? Is there a lot of space between your toe and the front of the shoe?
@@davegball I sold them they ended up too narrow.
Good info thanks.
call me crazy, i ordered 4 pairs of their shoes. what was the time of order to receiving your goods?
4-6 weeks I would say is a normal time but it always depends if it’s MTO or RTW
Thats the worst box I have ever seen! lol
Hi Jack, I have seen worse actually :)
