What size should one get with a size 9.5 brannock foot?

@raenkord7881 Год назад

I have a 10 on the brannock, my Reid sneaker is a 9.5, and I wear 9s in other leather boots. It should be noted that I actually sit at B/C for width and my sizing is based on getting a D width to not be too wide.

@Stridewise Год назад

I'm 11.5 Brannock and ordered 11.5, I found them a little big but when I added the insoles they came with the fit improved a lot. So you can go true to size and do an insole or go down a half size and stand on leather instead

@beckettsimonon8810 Год назад

Hi Roger! If you're 9.5 Brannock Device Size, we recommend getting a 9.5D with us

@jicalzad Год назад

@@beckettsimonon8810 i own a size 9.5 in your oxford lace-up dress shoe, which gives me a decent fit. My Brannock device size is also 9.5. Would ordering 9.5 or 9 be best for the Roy loafer?

I genuinely appreciate how aware you are about the scope of your style and content. I personally love dressing up for work and dressing in casual styles during the weekends. No content creator should aspire to be a universal taste maker because focus makes their content, perspectives, and opinions more illuminating. Thanks for another great video!

I rarely get notifications of new comments like this on old videos like this so I'm glad I found it! i get a bit self conscious whenever I'm not talking about boots/workwear type apparel, but I'm really enjoying loafers and tweed these days, I definitely get more preppy in the summer months.

I've got the Beaumont in suede, big fan! Very comfortable, very subtle but still classy, easy go-to choice for a summertime NYC Sunday brunch. I'd order a half-size down if I were ordering again, I tend to wear these with pretty thin socks and they obviously have no laces, so I wish I'd gotten ones that are just a smidge smaller.

@ralphtime Год назад

I got the same ones last week. I sent them back to go a size down. Hopefully it doesn’t take forever to get them back because they are beautiful

@aceymac Год назад

Nice overview, thanks. I’ve purchased many BS shoes and been happy with all of them. Great value for money. I particularly love my Beaumonts. If you put them side-by-side with the original Gucci style, they are very close, and I think you could make an argument that they are actually better quality and better made for a lot less.

@Stridewise Год назад

Yeah I'm going to do a revamped review of their Dowler boot once they send me a new one, they have different leather now

@raenkord7881 Год назад

I bought their Reid sneakers. When I got them the white coating cracked in a day, so they refunded me some of my money(I chose that option, they were willing to make me a new pair but I did not want to wait), so I’m very happy with them.

@anonymousotter6455 Год назад

Could you make a video on the different types of leathers out there? I think it would be a very useful video, me personally I would be more hesitant to buy a Kudu boot from GS than a standard chromexcel boot solely because I'm more familiar with how to take care of chromexcel than kudu. As a viewer, I think it would be very, very helpful(and interesting) if you were to talk about the pros and cons of stuff like ostrich/kudu leather and how to take care of such leathers. However, I understand that care is very subjective to the way and where a leather is tanned, but I thought this would be a neat video idea nonetheless.

@Stridewise Год назад

That's a great idea! I made this article a while ago but I could do a video on it with more info stridewise.com/best-leather-for-boots/

@jaslarue Год назад

Interesting. Last summer I found a barely worn pair of Weejun's penny loafers, unlined, leather soles, for $15. They are lightweight and cool, so ok for summer. I bought them true to size, and they do struck to my heels. In the office they're pretty comfortable. Walking, not so much--but maybe they'll break in. Tassles and bridle rings just look silly to me.

@anonymousotter6455 Год назад

Cool video! If I had to say, my favorite beckett simonon loafer would have to be the "cohen loafer". Honestly... other companies do all the other styles better.(I can name a few if anyone is interested and on the hunt for loafers) Its slim proportions are very well done and it's made even more beautiful with the full grain leathers they offer.

@aceymac Год назад

I’ll bite. Who do you think does a Beaumont/Gucci style loafer better in this general price tier? Thanks

@anonymousotter6455 Год назад

@@aceymac Oof, I was only thinking of the ones in the upper price tiers. If we're talking about in the $200 tier, Jay Butler is the only horsebit which can compete with BS. The only reason why I don't like the BS Loafer is that I prefer the gold/silver looking bits over BS's nickel horsebit, but other than that they seem good.

@aceymac Год назад

@@anonymousotter6455 I totally agree with you regarding gold versus silver, but my frugality won over my aesthetic. When I was looking at the Beaumonts, I looked at shoes up to $400+ and honestly didn’t find anything that was significantly better. The comfort of the moccasin construction with the sleekness of amor Continental/Italian five hits for me but if you know something else out there, I’m open. I have a pair of JBs also. Really good shoes, but the vamps are so short, they don’t work as a daily city walking shoe, at least for me.

@kongmw Год назад

Some of Beckett Simonon's loafers lasts look really awkward, if not awful. Bulbous toe boxes and super long vamp. In comparison, the shapes of the Gucci's and Carmina's that you showed briefly look much more balanced and elegant. Judging within its price bracket, Meermin's offerings look more attractive.

@Stridewise Год назад

Yeah some are a bit funny but with 7 to choose from you'll find something you like! Meermin are legit too though

@rogerr.8507 Год назад

An unlined suede loafer? Wouldn't that fall apart quickly cuz suede has no structural integrity?

@nijikirainijinosei92 Год назад

Cheap suedes definitely have no structure, but a higher quality suede usually still has some of the grain on the inside!

@noone3734 Год назад

@@nijikirainijinosei92 Your reply got me thinking about how much has to be split off before it's considered a suede. So I went and looked at some CF Stead suede, and it turns out the full grain side is left fully intact, it isn't split at all. So it's essentially the same thing as rough-out leather? Except the flesh side is nicely finished. "Janus Calf Suede is a premium suede tanned in the UK. It is well known in the high-end shoe market and used by some of the best shoe brands. This suede has some of the softest and most consistent suede feel you will find. The hides come from the alps regions of Europe. The calf leather comes with the full-grain and is not a split suede. With the Janus calf you will get a premium tight grain across the entire hide." So if I'm understanding correctly, suede can mean either a cheap split hide, or a full grain reverse hide where the flesh side is finished in a particular way. Interesting. Now it makes sense why CF Stead "suede" is so expensive.

@Stridewise Год назад

it would probably be flat and funny looking but i think there's space for that in your offerings if you're selling SEVEN kinds of loafers haha

@nijikirainijinosei92 Год назад
