    A quick update on the Uptowns as of Mid May 2021! I’ve been wearing them a lot recently and they have started to develop a really nice patina. They also continue to be some of the most comfortable boots I own. Subscribe for more reviews! Thanks!

    Another one bites the dust due to supply chain issues. Hopefully they will be back in the boot/shoe business at some point, very nice quality at fair prices..and made in the US.

      Nathan and all his people that seen the review of Mark Albert don't get me wrong I love my boots and Loafers that I picked up 5 months BUT I have a problems with the leather soles on the Pebble loafers they are separating from the welt and I have contacted via Email Mark direct and he won't return emails soo this tells he doesn't support his customer's after the sale ZERO Warranty on his shoe and boots So when he said on his website LAST PAIRS - FINAL SALE he not going to stand behind what they make and sell . I hate to say that I will never buy a thing from Mark Alberts again I paid $200 for loafers and its going to cost me $200 to fix them and I only worn them are the house for 5 months WOW Mark gives BAD customer support Nathan just want to drop a email so no one has the problem with this co too

      Yeah they don’t have very much stock right now. I believe the factory is really low of staff + the typical industry delays are contributing to this. The only uptowns I see for sale are the cinnamon pebble ones.

  • @bonecollector1968
    @bonecollector1968 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Do you recommend 1/2 size or a full size down from sneakers? I normally take a 10 in boots- Alden, Red Wings, Grant Stone. I've read that the uptown boot runs a full size large compared to sneakers. Thanks

    • @NathanKnepper
      @NathanKnepper  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well I’d say it depends on how wide your foot is. If it’s normal or narrow maybe 9.5 I wear 9.5 in almost all boots and loved the fit. It was only a little loose in the back due to the larger heel like I started in the video. My iron rangers are size 9 and they were just a tad small but I stuck with them. I would go with 10 if you usually wear 10. Make sure you keep them in proper condition for a return just in case though!

      These by far in terms of quality and comfort. The look is a bit different, less sleek and more rugged, but still quite nice. They’re also one of my top three most comfortable boots and made in my hometown! 🇺🇸

      Comparable. They’ll definitely be more comfortable out of the box. I do consider the iron rangers to be one of the most comfortable boots out there. My Whites MP Shermans are good too.

      @jbm0866 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Don't take nearly as long to break in I can say that much, but it's really hard to compare since my uptowns are about 5 months old, iron rangers are going on 8 years and are perfectly formed to my feet now. Can't go wrong with either, but if they still have your size (going out of business😔) then these Mark Alberts can't be beaten for the price.

      Well you see, when you start a new business theres always a chance that things wont work out. Unfortunately, the covid-19 event crippled this guy’s business so hard he wasn’t able to recover. If you’re interested there is more information on his instagram. Fortunately, I have two pairs of his boots :)

    The boots look elegant but 1 flaw, the stitches run all the way thru the sole,not a good practice in shoe making .

    • @NathanKnepper
      @NathanKnepper  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Well perhaps if it was a single stitch. These and many of my other boots are goodyear welted. The stitch you see on the outside just holds the welt and sole together. You don’t see the second inside stitch as it is covered by the insole and does not exit the boot on the bottom of the sole. Only the welt stitch is stitched through the sole.
