Welcome to the Stefano Bemer Tradizione Review!
Today I am reviewing one the best handmade ready to wear shoes in the world by Stefano Bemer from Italy. Specifically their RTW Collection called Tradizione which is completely handmade.
These shoes will cost you around $2000-2400 USD depending on features or if they are Made To Order.
I forgot to mention in the video that this is called the T6456 Model which sounds like a badass terminator name. For full disclosure I requested these shoes for a review, but did not receive them for free and ASKED to pay for them.

I would also like to mention that after I shot my video, I realized I hadn't connected the microphone, so I had to reshoot it.
In-between, I wore the shoes for the first time so between the close up, intro and conclusions you might notice some wear on the sole and creases. It is normal as I wore them for a few hours!
Kirby is a joke of a reviewer …he is a salesman on commission. Thanks for an honest review
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
Much respect for your honesty Kostas! Those little handmade imperfections exist in my Meccariello shoes also, but therein lies the charm. Stefano Bemer and Yohei Fukuda are both on my list for the near future...keep on making great videos.👍🏾
Thank you for watching Scott!!! That’s the way!
It could be great if you review gaziano and girling deco holden in chestnut with swanneck, i love it.
Would love to review GG
Very excited to see your journey towards making shoes at this caliber (or even higher 😁)
Thank you Kyle! The journey just begins!
The details on the paper that wrapped the shoes are lilies which is the symbol of Florence, the city of Stefano Bemer. Just a little touch, but it really makes you appreciate the legacy of the brand and of the shoes, and as an enthusiast I personally think all the links to a Shoemaker's history are amazing and definitely adds to the value of what would otherwise just be an item for functionality, the shoe. Great review, also covering the little issues that comes even in such luxurious products. Greetings from Italy, hope you can make some great memories with these shoes :)
Thank you Marco :) I am wearing them right now actually and loving them. I will move to Florence next year to study at bemer so if you are around come say hi!
Kostas, I like you more and more as I watch your videos. I can't imagine buying a shoe like this - but I love quality shoes. I like the critical approach you bring and your experience shows through. No doubt Stefano Bemer is a quality maker, take nothing away: I have to say, the sole/bevelled waist etc looked very nice indeed. I may dream of shoes of this quality....My feet are wide (I'm a UK 10 G) it limits the last style I can realistically choose as I'm leaning towards a rounder, less chiselled last. Anyway, I ramble and bore....Thanks a lot for taking the time and conveying your passion for quality x Tony
Thanks for watching Tony. At this level and pricing, you can customize the width of the lasts usually to accommodate your foot. But as you mentioned, the important part is that you see that this is a great shoe even though there was a more critical approach. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
i'm glad you also mentioned what you didn't like. i think this is the most honest review about them. thank you
(edit) you've mentioned gazino & girling. can you do an honest review about them ?
Thank you. I try to keep a balance, though sometimes I struggle to find something bad when the shoes are actually good.
Unfortunately I don’t have any GG shoes and can’t afford to buy one right now, so a review will have to wait. I have shoes in the works by other companies so I am taking it easy for the year
I like the way you tie your tie, man.
Thanks! It’s a double four in hand!
@@MisiuAcademy thanks, you are a great man
Hi…great shooting and I agree with someone’s comment that you looked a bit disappointed. In any case, lat year I purchased my first pair of SB and I am delighted. Fabio was always very kind and professional. He sent me 2 lasts upfront and I chose J. Just order mu second and hope to get it in few weeks. Keep up the great shooting.
Thanks! I am actually wearing them right now! I enjoy them very much!
I would love to hear your reviews on men's clothing brands (ie. Suits)
Hey Anthony. I have mostly suits from Suitsupply and Spier and Mackay at the moment. I plan to do suit reviews for sure in the channel.
Thanks for your review. Something that might be interesting to those, who are considering a purchase in this category and do not have that much experience yet. The shoes are marketed as RTW bespoke shoes, similar to the new Optimum range from Gaziano & Girling. Everybody knows, that quality varies from one maker to another and it is often discussed, how many fittings one maker does etc.. However, something that I thinks is overlooked is the fact, that the quality and finishing can vary massively from one country to another. British, French and Japanese bespoke shoes are in general of much higher quality than Italian bespoke shoes. I suggest that everybody, who wants to purchase bespoke shoes or "RTW/ MTO bespoke shoes" looks at makers from different countries and decides what level of quality he or she wants. I know the Stefano Bemer shoes and they are well made and I personally think the price is okay for what you get. However, their reference is Stefano Bemer bespoke and not G&G bespoke. If you want the best of what craftsmanship can produce, I suggest you look at British, Japanese and French makers. Do not be fooled by the term bespoke quality. There is no such thing as bespoke quality, it is just the individual interpretation of one maker.
Hi Anton, thanks for sharing. I don’t want to get into which country makes the best shoes, but maybe I should explain that by bespoke quality, I really mean their own bespoke quality, or simply a fully handmade shoe for a specific last. I personally love the true Italian school but if you see in the channel feature shoes from all over the world each with their own praise and criticism. In the end of the day, these are still fantastic shoes to have 🙏
@@MisiuAcademy Thanks for your reply, my message was no critique. I just wanted to tell people, who do not have any experience but want to get into bespoke shoes or RTW bespoke shoes, that quality is very different from one maker to another and from my experience from one country to another. I think many makers use the term bespoke quality in a misleading way. It creates the impression of general quality standards that simply do not exist. I own a lot of bespoke shoes from different countries and makers and I think their is a difference in quality and this is the only messageI wanted to bring across. Before you buy, make sure you know what is out there. Don't get me wrong, I own a couple of bespoke Italian shoes but I can't say that any one of them comes close to my bespoke John Lobb Paris shoes or bespoke G&G's and if someone wants the best Stefano Bemer might not be the place to go. I heard a lot of makers complain about over critical customers. I wanted the people to know, there is a maker for you and your standards. When you know what quality a maker is delivering, than you do not need to complain.
Yes that is correct. Also no offense taken, my message is short since it is 3 am here. The term bespoke has been ruined just like the term handmade these days. However, to me bespoke quality does mean they use the same processes and techniques. I don’t know how good real bemer bespoke is, but I am also I’m not a need yet to get to that level since rtw fits me so well and easy. I appreciate you sharing your vast experience though! My goal is to tour all the major workshops and pick up my own skills when I learn shoemaking. I will have an interview soon with mr gaziano so I will make sure to ask him interesting questions.
@@MisiuAcademy Bye the way. Had a similar experience with "creases that looked like yours" it was just wax as well
yes I can understand. Certain leathers seem to have a more dense surface and cannot absorb as much wax or polish, so one needs to be careful!
Great review and you look very Dapper this go around as well
Thanks! Had to wear my best for such a pair!
Amazing look my friend. That tie looks great.
As for the shoes they look really great but they are not my favorite. The Mecariello and Scafora look better in my opinion.
Oh and that joke... best one so far haha! Loved the delivery as well, so genuine 😁
Thanks for watching as always :) I am still a bigger fan of scafora stylistically, but these are pretty darn good shoes for sure!
@@MisiuAcademy you said it best when you said that one can not make a purchase decision based on the value with those. They are definitely for those who have a large income.
Certainly, which is where the other two more affordable ranges come in, or the less expensive brands for certain people.
Fantastic shoe's
Glad you like them Horace
😒 these stale jokes man! Bring us more 😂, once the shoes are as beautiful as these then you’ll be forgiven. Really enjoyed this review kostas
Yes sir 😎
Very informative and enlighting video, second your emotion re; K.A., I remember his video with the dozen pair John Lobb's they sent him. Q? that brush Bemer included is horse hair or pig bristle ?? thanks
According to their website it’s bristle! Thank you for watching, I try to be neutral and present all the facts.
@@MisiuAcademy I may still be confused. the website titles it Short Bristle Brush but in it's description it simply says short hair brush. On the other foot, the Long Bristle Brush, specifically says horsehair in the description. Maybe I'll call the New York store, best regards
Do that or just send them a quick mail! They are very responsive! And do let me know!
Just when I thought I was finished buying shoes, you pop up with this amazing shoe. This will be my next pair, I am a 10 in Paolo Scafora shoes, what would you recommend for this shoe? Thank you again sir, great video and input.
Hello Homero. I recommend starting with the classica line, it’s 700-1000$ less and almost the same quality. You would probably be a UK 11 on the S Last of Stefano Bemer.
Love the OBJECTIVE POV. Pretty shoe.
Thank you for watching 🙌
Can’t wait for the “Kostas “ line. Do you have a name?
Hi Jeffrey. Not yet this will take love and patience :) right now I am working on the new website which will launch in a few weeks
A1 craftsmanship as one would expect. I can totally see them with a U shaped cap instead of that wingtip. Do you wish youd ordered a lighter shade of brown since the museum effect isnt so obvious?
I like dark brown in classic shoes, I am happy with the color! I could see them in dark burgundy though for sure. But I got that covered in the shop there’s a spectacular expensive wingtip coming soon!
The sit down is a bit dark, I could see them better with the shot of them on your feet. Love em! 😍 Im slowly making my way up the ladder of more expensive shoes. Im waiting on some made to order Cleverleys to come in but I sooo want some G&Gs!
GG has a 20% off promo with the code PROMO21 :)
@@MisiuAcademy Yes I saw that. Bad timing 😕
I'll have to catch them om the next round.
completely agree, they are great shoes but just speaking objectively, the fact that they were shipped with overwaxing and as you said marks on the insole automatically disqualifies them
I've tried Bemer in-store, they simply do not fit me as well as Scafora for example, and I've found other makers to pay more attention to the final finishing
how do you like the shoe one year in ?
It’s my best fitting last and the shoe I wear for my best occasions. I have since managed to spit shine them with great results. I consider them top tier but there are equally good shoes for 500$ less these days
@@MisiuAcademy glad to hear that they are getting their time in your shoe rotation
fit is a curious phenomenon in this price range since all makers develop rather specific lasts - they inadvertently narrow down the amount people their shoes will fit and to whom their design will appeal
Definitely but at this price an adjustable last is easy and worthy!
How would you compare them with Patrunajd Claymore?
Hehe you totally wrecked the name but all is good! It’s hard to say. Petru & Claymoor will offer you bespoke for a lesser price. Their designs are less aggressive and more contemporary and you will get a more direct and personal service. If you want a more restrained aesthetic and custom fit, probably P&C. If you want a more Italian approach, stefano bemer is great. I’d probably start with the classica collection though.
@@MisiuAcademy thx Kostas. I’m visually impaired and I didn’t notice the typos. The other day P&C uploaded some pics to IG and I found them really appealing.
Hehe don’t worry I was just joking. Thank you for not taking it personally. I have a really bad eyesight too. If you wish, you can email me and I can give you their WhatsApp number
