Build a Collection of High Quality Bespoke Shoes

12 pairs of good shoes will give you enough range for most occasions and will help you establish your foundation (sorry about that). But how much do you know about leather, construction, design and the skills of shoemakers in the market to make the right choice? One way (and of course AskOkey encourages this) is to go bespoke, but even if you are buying ready made shoes you need some knowledge to avoid buying shoes that end up on the cupboard floor. Okey goes through each of the 12 pairs of shoes in the capsule wardrobe and explains colours, styles, weight, fit, soles and details such as open or closed laces. Next time you are at a shoe shop, refer to Okey's wisdom and do not forget that shoes cannot do the job alone. They need trousers and jackets (ideally from AskOkey).

Explaining purpose, function and structure of setting up your shoe collection. What's also impressive is how well maintained every item is. Not just the shoes but all the suits, coats and jackets we have seen. Half the battle, I am sure is buying quality but we all would benefit on learning on how to maintain wardrobe items to last.

I admire the careful consideration that went not only into assembling the collection itself but also into selecting the final shoemaker. I think that adopting such a thoughtful approach to some other areas of life can make it a better experience. That said, I find it interesting that you are comfortable with the leather soles. I tend to add an additional Vibram layer for extra grip and security when walking non trivial distances in the city streets.

@AskOkeyInc 2 года назад

Thank you Mighty! It was quite an adventure over about 5 years putting together that collection. I even traveled to Milano to interview Marco the new owner of Bestetti (after Ricardo Bestetti passed away). He stood me up in the cold January snow!!! So going with Phillip Car at St. Crispin was a NO BRAINER. And I’m glad I did. Phillip is a true professional. A bit rough around the edges but he always DELIVERS! PROFF

@ruliadultra 2 года назад

@@AskOkeyInc Wow, quite surprising to learn that Mr. Bestetti stood you up. It's quite rude, but I suppose it worked out well since it led you to Mr. Car. Had the gentlemen at Graziano and Girling opened up shop at the time you began your search for a bespoke maker? If so, did you consider them?

@AskOkeyInc 2 года назад

@@ruliadultra Please let me clear this up. Marco Facchinetti stood me up. Mr. Riccardo Bestetti was a true gentleman and craftsman by all accounts. Marco took over the business after Riccardo passed away and promptly ran it into the ground! He is everything Riccardo wasn’t. Wholly unreliable and not a craftsman but a business who thought he could make a quick buck off Ricardo’s legacy. I tried virtually every Classic shoe maker out there to select a shop to commission my full wardrobe including Gaziano & Girling. I purchased their Rothschild Brogue on the DG70 last. A very well made Goodyear welted shoe but I found G&G lasts a bit too “sharp” for my taste. St. Crispins last was perfectly balanced. A nice Classic round English last but entirely handmade and hand-welted with an inimitable shape to the last. I am entirely glad I went with Phillip and intend to keep him as my shoemaker going forward since we’ve done the heavy lifting of perfecting my last on previous commissions. PROFF

The beetle boots are my favorites, but all of mines have the 15 inch shaft And zip on. They are the true vintage musicians kind as when you are sitting and your pants leg lift ,You don’t see the ends of the boots as they go way up the leg.. I wear them with high waters. Very form fitted as you say, and they almost look like socks with soles and a heel very elegant, streamline, and timeless you could even say futuristic

Those St Crispin burgundy quarter brogues / Adelaide’s you brought out towards the end were by FAR my favourite. Absolutely exquisite footwear there my man. Watching this really helped me today. Decided to take a breath, stop panicking about “not having enough yet / trying to get everything too quickly”. Slow down, map out what’s needed in what order and take my time in acquiring good pieces over the next couple of years.
