I bought 7 pair of various AceMark shoes based on your (and other youtuber style guys) rec. in other videos
Holy moly what a shoe. I almost felt like I underpaid when I pulled these exquisite pieces of foot furniture out of the box. The quality is just mind blowing.
I haven't received my set yet but can't wait...I originally bought the wrong size and had to return them (guys, truly take the time to print out the size guide measure yourself and order the right size their last is very gracile and caters to people with high instep so if you are flat footed you may find that your regular size in another brand is way too tight for AM, like I did).
That said , the few minutes I spent with the first batch was all the proof I needed that this was an exceptional shoe maker.
I have another 6 pair of dress shoes in the queue as a Christmas Gift to ME plus 2 of their luxury dress sneakers in preparation for the Spring.
I bought an entire wardrobe of the standard styles that I love. (Bluchers, Cap Toe Ox's, Whole Cuts, Monk Straps, Chucka's)
I see them as an investment and buying a set means I can cycle/rotate them (just as you suggested) ...which means it takes a lot longer for any one of them to wear....I plan on having these for the next 50 years or longer.
I also got a bunch of shoe trees from Houndsbay rather than the Acemarks ones since they are so expensive.
I miss when you had this in the show more
❤️💞🙋
This guy is sold to the most peasant brands...
NO ! I will not buy the Daniel Wellington of shoes 👞
Real Men Real Style you said that Ace Marks have stacked leather heels. They don’t, it’s made of particle board. I get that they’re sponsoring you, but let’s be honest.
Antonio is kind of guy who apply equations in fashion. 😂👏👍👍
You can apply equations on literally everything
Yeah..but he is IMHO a wannabe sciencetist who tries to persuade his viewers with basic math equations to make him look smart.
Without any equation:
Simply don‘t buy junk which is not repairable.
@@boltthrower3215 The equation doesn't even work lol, price is an objective measure with externally-derived values, the others are arbitrary and subjective.
👍👍👍👍👍
Here's a tip.
1. Find your size for Allen Edmonds shoes.
2. Go to shoebank for their factory seconds.
3. Buy a wingtip, an Oxford, and the most absurd looking shoe such as the Dalton or Broadstreet spectators, because man needs a high quality clash shoe.
I love Allen Edmonds. High quality, they feel great from the first time putting them on and they last. A tad expensive, but the wear I've gotten shows highest value, thus less cost per wear day.
That style value equation exercise is a very interesting way to test objectivity... these creative takes are one of the things that makes me come back to RMRS
I am subscribed to you
You Americans are so direct and transparent about sponsorship. I love that, we might be too subtle in Europe. Anyway I love your channel always instructive, hearing things I heard in french helps me maintaining my English skills.
Antonio. I’ve been watching your videos on and off for a good time now and been on the fence with you (your videos are great) because our dressing styles are a bit different but you won me over with that style value equation dude! So nerdy and I love it!
Been a long time sub, I watch daily-- but I really liked this one.
Everyone makes jokes, but Antoneio was ACTUALLY just trying to communicate a LOT of information quickly.
Great video, Antoneio! Keep it up. Love your work!
I really love your videos. Superb content. I love that it’s not just about style but it is very informative too. This is one of my favorite channels.
Amazing video. Great information on dress shoes.
Am just loving your stuff. Much love 🇯🇲
Received my AceMarks: Henry Double Monks in the Diablo Tramonto from the 3rd Kickstarter campaign a couple weeks ago in December 2018. The wait was worth it. Love, Love, LOVE them!! Hopefully they stand the test of time!
Erstwhile, Thank YOU Antonio, for continuing to deliver QUALiTY content! Time to go read-up on Shoe Maintenance now!!
This video and the other one about formal to casual shoes were right on time. I have an event to go and I needed a little guidance. Thanks Antonio.
I backed their last kickstarter, looking forward to my 1st pair from them hopefully in the next week! I ordered a more loud oxford that's blue and grey. It's going to look stunning!
Super!
Going from the low key, relaxed early videos to this one is pretty shocking. This is almost like an extreme sports video. Wow. Pretty damn intense.
Go Cowboys
Wow, I learned so much from this video. Thanks big time!
Very nice and informative Sir Antonio! Thank you for another advice and tips!
Very useful and practical information!!
Great educational video Antonio.
Antonio,As always, another great video. I really appreciate all of your advice on men's style. You have really helped me to up my game in this department. Thank you so much!!
Your videos about shoes are always awesome!
came here as soon as i saw the notification....thanks Antonio...!!
Antonio you make breaks worth taking! 🎅🎄🎁
Surprisingly, this discombobulating diatribe on shoes is Microeconomically accurate.
Sure? Frankly the content is entry level and the fact that it is sponsored means the advice is not objective
He advertises good year welt but the advertiser doesn't make GYW so...
@@pgplaysvidya I was referring to his equation that takes into account value and feeling. This is very close to the neoclassical interpretation of money and utility in microeconomics.
Your verbose without any meaning in your comment.
@@ravipeiris4388 Noh, it just exceeds your limited comprehension.
This has actually helped me, I'm starting a new job on Monday and I've never wore dress shoes before or shoes similar to them and your advice has been great. Thanks.
Congratulations on the new job!
@@RealMenRealStyle thank you.
Great video once again.
Antonio. ..you have explained everything to the point there shouldn't be any questions in the coment section. very well said as always!
Awesome video bro I really like your videos so much thanks for the video
Very nice and helping video !! Love it !!
Thank you, Andy!
Great video Antonio 👌
amazing video!
I honestly don't get why you don't have huge number of views on your videos.. They're really top notch!
He is too over the top
Repetitive content and ads that takes almost 1/3 of the video might be a good place to start
Oh man, can't express in words.
Worth watching.
Great Vid, helpful for sure
A comparative video would be awesome
Maybe something like Allen Edmonds compared to a couple online companies like ace marks and beckett simonon
so true, I bought so many el cheapo 50-80$ shoes that fell apart after a couple months. then i bought a 500$ pair and since they can be repaired, I can wear them for a long time. They also are more comfortable!
Yup, I made some of these mistakes early-on, and while not "too" costly, I had to learn. Shoes truly are an investment, on the front end and continually on the back end as well. Take care of them, and they take care of you.
Agreed!
Props for the awesome info graphics!
Cheers NTDang!
My personal favorite brand for dress shoes is Allen Edmonds, but I’m gonna have to check out Ace Marks! Thanks Antonio, love the videos!
Great vid. So many nice shoes. Need nore wide width options for guys like myself.
Honestly I wish my father taught me this before (well, mayne he didn't have any idea as well 😅). Thanks Antonio!!!
I want that sport coat! Another great vid, sir.
Thank you!
I like this!very englightening
Informative..thnx
Excellent....
Here is an idea for a new video: techniques to match your phone with your wardrobe.
Phones are now an essential part of everyday carry, and I think it might be worthwhile to match to start matching their colors and all with your wardrobe. I personally have a blue phone, with a black case for everyday carry. For more formal occasions, I remove the case and the blue of the phone matches with my blue suit or a tie I am wearing. Small things like this may make an impact (or I may be reading too much into things haha).
This may require a bit of research as it seems like an area of fashion that hasnt been broken into yet.
Btw, you may also be able to get a sponsor from dbrand, a smartphone skin manufacture.
Great advice. Those patina wholecut look awesome. I wish I could find any pair of wholecut shoes in my locality, but there are not.
Great video- well presented with great advice.
It would be great if the shoe companies that sponsor your videos would make shoes that would fit my very long extra narrow (13A) feet. This is why I wear Allen Edmonds factory seconds. AE makes great shoes. I'd like a bit more variety.
I agree in principle but I don't wear belts unless I absolutely have too because suspenders are better in every possible way.
#third. And I am Studying for exams LOL
Super informative. thanks man!
Walmart wrangler slip ons are amazing. They’re $15, or probably a nine on comfort level, and lasted me at least six months while working at a hardware store and running around a lot as a student, sometimes I also wear them while I work out. Probably the best value possible for shoes, in my opinion. Obviously, dress shoes, but fantastic for casual or around the house type situations.
Thanks man. I'm going to that shoe site
I just bought a pair of beautiful Double Monk Strap Boots with hand finish from Herring, made by Carlos Santos!
I have a pair made by Carlos Santana. Every time I put them on, they play 'Black Magic Woman.'
Another great video Antonio :)
Can I have a small request ?
Would it be possible to cover a little bit more the shoes you hold in your hand at 03:12 please ?
I have tested a Barker(brand in Engalnd UK) shoes just like that over the weekend and they had to be made for my feet but I'm not sure if they are just a 1-2 years fashion piece or they can stay in fashion for years to come. I think that they will fall into casual category.?
Thank you
One of the best brands I've ever worn is Rieker. Those shoes are first of all known for their comfort. Second of all, they offer a wide range of dress shoes ranking from more formal to more casual. I highly recommend all of you to try these out.
Sometimes if you are at the right place at the right time you can find some real bargains. I recently was at an estate sale where I picked up a pristine pair of Allen Edmonds with the cedar shoe trees for $10.00. Also I think it is also just as important to keep the insides of your shoes in good condition as well. I always get a cheap pair of air pillow insoles to keep the inside footbed of my shoes looking good. I just replace as necessary.
Another great video Mr. Centeno! Did not even think about checking how clean the perforations are. I have to say though, I am not really liking this new hairstyle...
A rule of thumbs could be to look after Goodyear welded of Norwegian sewing style shoes. That way you are almost certain that you get a quality shoe. And you can find them at a reasonable low price too.
Thanks for sharing your valuable insights 🙏🏼
Cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰
Love your videos, ive been binge watching them non stop. I never cared about dressing nice, but do now, and have started small. But I have a problem. I'm a bigger guy, with huge feet. I wear a size 15 wide normally. And the rockports I have are fine, but not amazing. What kind of dress shoe style would compliment my feet instead of accentuating it weirdly? Plain toe, round for, square toe, Oxford, etc.
William Nett Antonio will know more than me but some Italian Blake stitched shoes can have little or no rim round the edge compared to a Goodyear Welted shoe. This makes the shoe less big and bulky and I think would complement your foot size. Any dress shoe shape (rounded rather than square) should work
Good video
Your advice is on point. Shoes are an investment and need to be taken care of.
Yo Tony, Civardi shoes allows you to customize shoes and you even chose your last. One has a chisel tow and Cuban heel combo if you're interested
You’re amazing Antonio ! That’s why I like her videos, RMRS is enough,You don’t need to subscribe many channels.
Much love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Thanks SH! Love my Pakistan viewers. 😀
I’m exhausted just watching this cat. He’s proof you can take the man out of the Marine Corp, but you can’t take the Marine Corps out of the man. Joking aside, these are all great points. I’ve used similar qualifiers in building my own shoe collection. I’ve even stopped doing business with brands based on shitty customer service. Thanks for the video!
Most people know the price of everything but the value of nothing.
Another *crucial* tip for shoe longevity: Always use a shoehorn to put them on.
Great video! Fingers crossed that Allen Edmonds reaches out to you for sponsorship. Only shoe I’d ever wear.
Acemarks > Allen Edmonds IMO
Then you should continue wearing Acemarks.
I agree, I love all my pairs of Allen Edmonds.
I do have some gripes with Allen Edmonds, I don't love every shoe they make. Some are downright ugly. But that's okay, they have a pretty wide variety and there's something for everyone. What keeps me coming back is that they have multiple widths for EVERY shoe! Few others do that. Plus they have local retail stores. Sure, I'd like to try Alden or Crockett and Jones, but I don't have $2k to spend on a trip to London to get my $700 shoes fitted.
AE are great. Trying some Beckett Simonon. Have two pair of Dean captoe Oxfords on order. Can’t wait.
I can also recommend to insert changeable insoles as one more layer, and change them periodically. When they wear out or become smelly - you just switch for new ones. It's easier and cheaper to remove them, than having a disappointment of your favorite shoes becoming unwearable.
I managed to pick up a pair of Santoni Dark Brown Oxford shoes on sale for 243 euros instead of 550 the other day. By far the best shoes I have ever bought!
You are an amazing man with amazing personality.🤙🤙😎😎
Cheers Raunak.
Thank you very very much.Iam your greatest fan ever!
@Real Men Real Style can you do a video on what shoe color goes with what color pants I’m a noob to this dress dressing like a man supposed too. Thanks for the help
Lik it 💪🏻
The blue and brown ones are hideous and Blake flex doesn't mean no break in period.
Nothing wrong with John Lobb, they are good year welted shoes made in Northampton, with high quality leather
I agree, I just bought two pairs from the factory shop but for many people, even the factory shop 50% off price can still be £700+. I also bought a pair from Cheaney for just £140 (down from £390) and just like Antonio's formula, they look good and the price is almost a steal which makes the feeling even better.
Your hair looks much better now Antonio.
I am a big fan of your's and have learnt a lot from you about style. You are literally an inspiration for me........ But sir, i just wanted to ask, the wax that you said to apply on the shoe rather than a polish (cream), but the wax is applied only in the hard surfaces of the shoe (like the toe cap area)..... Otherwise if the wax is in the middle portion of the shoe, then it creates creases while walking...... So just to ask you, does applying wax to the whole shoe have any bad effects on the shoe?
Antonio, how do you maintain and care for the patina? Would I need multiple polishes?
Antonio do you have any other quality boot recommendations aside from Thursday? I have a pair of those but looking for something else in brown. Not sure if I like the EVA midsole, it doesn't seem too durable and they can smell.
Couple of times I saw fake stitches on a sole, when I was looking for new shoes. One time I even saw fake bolts that were supposed to give a look of sturdiness, I guess. Completely embarrassing - don't fall for that, guys, it's actually quite easy to spot.
My favourite brand for dress shoes is Crockett & Jones...
Yes they are expensive but hell they are perfect
Are they made from Beaver Pelt?
I have Loakes. M.
Antonio you should go ahead and patent that equation. You might even want to quantify "the how does it make you feel" part with a questionnaire that you fill every time you wear the shoes or after 10 wears or so
🤔
@Antonio, I wanted to know. Are Edward Green’s worth the money and hype?
The value equation should also include something that accounts for the business value of shoes. Frankly I don't like oxfords (I like Derbys) but I own them for the office and job interviews. Your shoes do create an impression and that has value. I doubt your shoes alone would get you the job but the wrong one certain can cost you the job with observant interviewers.
Checking AceMarks. But can you check Meeramin and Cobbler Union and what's your opinion on them?
Antonio, PLEASE invite Paul and Joshua to Menfluential. They are the best!
6:55 that seems to be an Allen Edmonds Park Avenue
Damn, I checked Ace Marks and, while they are on the expensive side of my pocket (and I don't live in the US) they have some really nice shoes, many I've seen them on RMRS
Every shoe which I see i am in luv with em
I pride myself in looking good even though I am on a budget TKMaxx is a help.
I simply cannot afford the prices on your recommendations. However I do like your style tips a lot
Hey Antonio, when you talk with your shoe maker/seller sponsors, tell them the need to offer wide widths. I hate seeing do many cool shoes that o can't buy.
For the love of god no REAL man will ever say that these are the most beautiful shoes he has ever seen.. Stop it and change out the word beautiful with stylish or modern but never, ever say out loud these are beautiful shoes.. Antonio I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul..
ChiTownXRing Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So in your opinion what are some beautiful shoes?
Antonio's first bad hair day
The number evaluation was ridiculous 😂😂
I like the equation but, I like high-end heritage brands like cj, berluti, edward green etc
Hey Antonia can you make a video on style for people that are working in retail like how to dress for retail appropriately Etc
Hey Amit - I'll add it to my queue. What's the dress code?
Antonio 3 to 5 pairs of very good Cowboy boots round toe, horseman heel, leather sole, army midsole, saddle vamp, single stitch, pull holes. 15" Upper $200 to $300 per pair are better than Dress Shoes no Mistakes To Avoid, Your Shoes Get Wet the smell of wet shoes not nice, I do not worry about bad weather as much in Cowboy boots apply some water protector to the boot to help keep water running off the boot instead of being absorbed into the leather. Conditioner, Polishing from time to time your set
Which shoe from ace marks has a more rounded toe box like the barrie last from Alden Shoes or like vintage Florsheim imperials?
Beckett Simonon another great company with great selection, reasonable price and hand made shoes
5:22 Sorry Antonio, that's not correct. Seeing stitching on the outside does not mean it's goodyear welted. And Goodyear welted does not necessarily mean that there's stitching on the outside ;) On the outside you see the the stitching of the sole which is glued and in addition stitched on the edge of the sole.
First mistake is to buy Blake (or Blake rapid ) construction shoes
They are not $600 dollar shoes. These are mid range shoes (which the consumer has a ton of options in the $200-250 range. Taft, Beckett Simonon, and so on, you just aren’t advertising them), no where near the quality of Allen Edmonds.
How would you shine a patina? I feel like the polish wouldn’t match the shoe
