Happy to see you putting out content again brother! I bought this pair after I watched your first video and they're awesome! I went a little heavy on the toe shine but oh well, still get compliments often! Now the real reason for my comment, I just noticed the CR logo on the corner of the video, very nice and classy touch!
Totally with you once again. The pinnacle would be the Edward Green Dover, but these are amazing. Split toe derby fit amazingly under a suit as well as jeans, fantastic for dressing down or up and immortal. Must have!
I have had these shoes for a few years now and I still reach out for them from time to time. They’re still good looking and absolutely have been good value for money. Your remarks about the apron and the rolling of the leather are spot on.
@@v_r_ Hey brother, I know this is super random and unrelated to this video, but was just curious. I know you're a huge Spier & Mackay fan, but have you ever checked out Pini Parma?
2 lovely pairs reviewed in succession, TLB captoes and these, gorgeous brown color on both. I don't know why, but it seems to be easier to make black leather look more expensive than it is but dark brown or museum can be tricky, it might take a certain quality, thickness and pliability of hide to really absorb the dyes and get the depth of color, I've never seen deep dark brown on cheaper shoes, they tend to have a reddish tint or just lack the color volume.
@@v_r_ Vlad: all good here. Going to London on the 13th May for the Super Trunk Show, so I'll see a lot of shoes! Yep, I like the SpTD and would add more to my collection too. Glad you're supporting the smaller brands doing quality. Best - Tony
Vlad I would love to hear your perspective on wedding attire for the groom. What do you think of these ideas as I'm giving advice to my cousin for his wedding. 1. Wearing braces together with a cummerbund for a dinner suit (White blazer to be exact). 2. Cuffing black dinner trousers with satin stipe on legs. 3. Morning suits for the groom... I noticed it is not commonly worn in North America but it would be cool to hear your perspective. Love.
What’s up, bro? 1. Braces are to hold your trousers up. So you can definitely wear them with a cummerbund unlike belts with braces since they serve the same exact function. 2. No cuffs on formal trousers. 3. We don’t do morning suits here in America. So unless he’s going for a specific theme, I wouldn’t. I hope that helps.
Excellent intro. Vlad, a video idea. Ever watch Sportscasters and the way they dress. For the most part sartorial but also polo shirts with suits and sneakers with suits for instance.yYou are a genius at style critique. I feel they follow your advice, tho.
Yeah, I wanted those but they didn't have my size and I would have had to wait 😮. I already have the Carmina version (for like 13 yrs) but your vids made me want another pair. Thx fam😫 😂😂😂 I got the TLBs. But that UTAH on Dainite??? 🔥
I like the TLB because of the hand sewn apron too but I don’t own it. But like you said, that Utah leather and the price is what sets the SoH version apart.
One can never have too many SpTD. If I wasn't afraid of getting my ass kicked by my girlfriend I'd have more than 2. I remember when you had none. That was a looooong time ago 😂
Man! I’m still laughing at that pre-intro!
Haha
Crazy I bought a split toe derby made by Allen Edmonds in great shape at Goodwill for 10.00.

Yes! The Dover is in a class all by itself.

Same! I still wear my country calf pair as well.
You're slowly but surely becoming a Seiko / Grand Seiko / King Seiko collector my man!
My wife reads the comments so I have no clue what you’re talking about 😂😂😂
@@v_r_ Lol! Sorry brother, didn't mean to impede your hustle
Haha…all love!

Finally gonna pull the trigger on these, thanks Vlad
You’re welcome, my friend! You’re going to love them.
The challenge I have with most dressier lasts such as this; I have to size up too big to make room for my rounded toes. Love the shoes!
Same
I got you! The part that really sucks is there’s no way to trying them on before you buy them.
The quality of your videos keep getting better!
Thanks, fam! 🙏🏾

I’ve never seen any color shoes take on a mirror shine better than black shoes. It’s crazy!
Hello Vladimir
I Love My Split Toe Derby’s (3 Pair’s) .
Always Enjoy Your Videos !
Love The Channel !
Thank you, Leonard! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I just received mine today. Thanks for the discount!
Hey Vlad! SpTDs are my thing too (4 pairs). Agreed: the last shape suits the shoe. The leather same/similar to EG is impressive!
What’s up, Tony? The sad part is I still want a couple more.

Love your content and love the shoes but can't find my size on the website.
Love these shoes! The Utah calf is amazing and the rubber sole is practical.
That leather is really special.
I love them, my first pair was Alden 2210 NST Derby in Shell Cordovan Color #8, you've SOLD ME on a pair.

carlos santos adds the process to their shoeboxes, always find little notes on it in any of my boots i got from them :)
I’ve never purchased from them directly. That’s probably why I haven’t seen one.
@@v_r_ oh neither have i, got them from thenobleshoe :)
That’s a nice looking pair of shoes, bro.
Vlad, I see you brother...from one to another...PEACE
Peace, King!
Great video bro… I m hoping to get me one soon
You’re going to love it!
That leather at that Price : Thats a miracle ! And the last looks very good too 👌
Exactly! Usually some brands even charge extra just for that leather.
Great Job Fam…..
Thanks, my brother!

@@v_r_ I remember when you got your first pair of SoH split toes and described how they roll, not crease and I was like, those right there are for me!
Is OCT Tenth the same company? I’m following the link in the description and that’s where I keep ending up.
They have a partnership. Here’s the new link: sonsofhenrey.com/products/george-split-toe-derby-brown-utah
Hola. ¿Quienes son los maestros que hacen los SONS OF HENREY en España?
One can never have too many SpTD. If I wasn't afraid of getting my ass kicked by my girlfriend I'd have more than 2.
I remember when you had none. That was a looooong time ago 😂
Time flies when you’re having fun. And I still want more 😂😂😂
Add some Alden split toe in your collection. You won’t regret
Amen! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
how is the sizing?
I have flat feet with a high instep and they fit me great. True to size.
Beautiful shoes!
Thanks, Javi!
Can you rock them with jeans?
Yes you can! That’s the beauty of split toe derbies, they’re very versatile.
order placed.
You’re going to love them! Keep me posted.
Not a huge fan of split toe derbies, but those are nice looking.
Yes I agree!
Do a new ‘state of the shoe collection’ video. I know you’ve got new heat to drop since the video 3 years ago
Damn those shoes are expensive
im a cheapskate. id never pay more than 500$ on a pair of shoes unless its some exotic... like croco
Well you’re in luck! 🙏🏾
@@v_r_ mbe but ure bless'd 😉
