I’ve been wearing Beckett Simonon for a while. I own an older pair of Reids and 2 new pairs (1 high top, 1 low top). I feel that the first is higher quality. The new sole although it does add grip seems cheaper. Also, the shoe box is definitely way more flimsy. I worked in retail for many years and I understand that the change in the cost of materials leaves the brand to make a decision to either raise the price of the product or choose other materials and keep the price the same. It seems like they chose the latter. Gonna see how the new pairs wear over time. These same changes aren’t dealbreakers in my opinion but just observations, and/or comparison of the original and the new product.
How do you like the Reid sneakers? Do you have any others by chance? I as well have shoe trees in them. I use them to help with the creases over time. Obviously leather stretches so while the soles conform to your feet, the leather becomes more comfortable and less stiff, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing!
I’m enjoying my Reid sneakers, love the pebbles leather. You’re right about the stiff lacesc needs a little break in time, but after a couple uses all good. I also have the Garcia’s in pull up brown leather. I feel like these have a bit more cushion in the food bed, also feel there’s a bit more room in the toe box. I give the edge to the Garcia’s. Overall, love Beckett Simonon, excellent craftsmanship, leather, and even better customer service. I’m really enjoying my loafers, and boots.
@@foodandbourbon7737I’ll have to check those out. The sizing for the loafers are tricky for me. I have a 9 in the Reid, and a 9 in the loafers. The loafers still seems a bit big though. Any issues on your end with that?
For me no issues at all. I ordered 10.5 in their oxfords, loafers, boots, and sneakers. They all fit great. They all fit wonderfully, but I will see I absolutely love their loafers and the fit, and comfort. Maybe try using the inserts they provide or go down .5 size. Hope that helps. What other BS footwear do you have? What’s your overall experience?
@@foodandbourbon7737 I appreciate that. I currently have their Reid sneakers, Bernard tassle loafers, and their Dowler boots. I like all of them and they are all the same size but for some reason the loafers a smidge big. I'll use their inserts ad see how that goes. Appreciate you brother!
Hello, I was wondering if the size of ur beckett simonon & thursday boot are the same? i am ordering one, i am skeptical about the size i ordered. I have thursday boot n i have ordered the same for bs too. Pls…
Nike is a little weird for me. I wear 9.5 in that. I haven’t worn Adidas in so long so I couldn’t tell you the size of that. Have you tried measuring your feet with the Brannock method?
GREAT question! In my personal experience, I wore these to a conference for about 4 hrs. With that being said, I did revert back to socks because of the heel cup rubbing and starting to irritate my foot. However, if you plan on wearing them barefoot for a short period of time, I'd say your fine.
@@lantzkulp I don't mind. I have too many shoes so it's easy to wait. The double monks are my favorite and these sneakers. I have like 10 pairs of Beckett Simonon. But like I said, the reid sneakers, double monks and the loafers are on the rotation constantly!
Once broken in, they are the most comfortable sneaker I've worn. Have tried many others, w/Thursday being fairly close but not as comfortable and they simply don't look as nice. The new sole looks pretty bad, as the shoe loses that clean look.
Ecco. But trendy fad following youth sheep don't know about brands that have been making sneakers like this longer than the founders of these trendy companies have been alive. The day I see trendy guys making youtube videos reviewing eccos, I'll be burning mine in a fire.
Thank you, that means a lot! I couldn’t agree more on that!

That’s great insight! When did you receive your first pair?
@@lantzkulp I think I got my first pair 5 or 6 years ago.
@@joshhampton7628very cool! Any other recommendations for future reviews?
@@lantzkulp I also have two pair of Morgen Trainers, and a pair of the Garcia. Try one of those.
@@joshhampton7628thank you!
I have the Reid sneakers, and also have shoe trees in them, however, I’m wondering it’s necessary with their short toe box.

Great question! BS is a 9 and my Thursday’s are a 10.
@@lantzkulp Oh no!.. one size difference is alot 😵💫 Thx thx
@@Ynot_Xowhatsorry if it’s too late! I answered as soon as I saw it!
@@lantzkulp Hello quick question, what size do u wear for nike or adidas sneakers?
Nike is a little weird for me. I wear 9.5 in that. I haven’t worn Adidas in so long so I couldn’t tell you the size of that. Have you tried measuring your feet with the Brannock method?
Thursday boots customer service is by far the best in the industry. Hands down.
I could t agree more!
Although, I think Beckett does an amazing job as well!
Are they comfortable without socks?

They are. Very Comfortable
I also own the double monk shoes and I never wear socks with them either
@@priority7773 great choice! What are your thoughts on the wait for them to arrive?

This is exactly how I feel. Although, I haven’t tried the new wide Thursday’s though. Both are great IMO!

Gonna get one but was expecting to get discount code or sth from this video. It was great review, btw
Check out the link in the description. You should if I’m not mistaken! Thank you for the feedback!
Let me know if you get a discount. Thanks again!
@@lantzkulpI mean there is no code, it is 169 on its page. Already ordered lol
weird, when I clicked on the link I provided in the description, it gave me a 15% off code 🤷🏼♂️. Did you use that link by chance?
@@lantzkulpI tried n it brought me to the page without the code, lol
