I Found The 7 Best Dress Shoes Under $350. Take A Look. 

Guarantee you that she already does. Now you just need to send a postcard by mail with yourself posing like one of those french girls plastered on it and mention how she's missing out.

Looking forward to the chelsea boot review. Btw. what do you think of yanko shoes? They are also sold on skolyx and I have their chelseas and chukkas and I love them a lot but idk how high quality they are as I am no shoe expert, they just feel right. Nobody reviews them thoroughly so its hard to know.

You are a very funny fellow and (like me) a maniac about quality 😂 Good for you! Love your videos! Perhaps the girl who rejected you is already cursing herself! 😁😁Greetings from Argentina! 🤩

@@rschweri578 I am not intimately familiar with them, though to my knowledge they are a solid quality for the price. Nothing stands out immediately as super special, though I don't think you are going wrong in any way with them. Finding a last that fits you well is tricky enough, so if you feel really good in them, I'd say stick with them.

@@DressWell.Madaras Thanks for the advice, I've simply heard through many different ytbers that they are pretty high quality but none of them went into detail.

Thank you for saying that!

Thank you so much!

Thank you! Sorry to hear. I don't know how long ago that was, but they do have a 1-year warranty that might cover that. They definitely should last for at least a year or two under normal wear conditions.

I am probably not, but this channel is a place for everyone and anyone to share their thoughts and opinions, whether or not they align with my own. I always appreciate you sharing yours. Thank you!

YESSSSSSSS

You are very welcome!

I agree I don't think it's a huge deal either way, but I definitely prefer GYW for Boots.

Thank you my friend!

@@dsdf_fdp1858 Glad to hear!

That's awesome! Yea those ones are great. Their unique designs I think are one of the highlights of what make them such a great value. I'm not a huge Derby guy in general, but those V-Fronts look so cool. Glad you caught them!

Thanks! Will do!

Agreed on TLBM. Honestly the video was originally planned to be something more like Under $300/$325 and went through a couple changes during production, so TLBM's Main Line was not included only for that reason - not because I think low of them. I think very highly of their product. I plan at some point to do videos like this for other price brackets, so they will make their way in at some point. What do you think is best for first time buyers?

@@DressWell.Madaras Interesting question on what is best for first time buyers. While their are less expensive options, I think TLB mainline is hard to beat. $350 USD which includes free shipping and one free size change. Plus Toni sends you and email on your first order to make sure you order the right size the first time. I've tried 40+ different brands in the past year and none is more impressive than TLB. I have not had a bad experience with any brand other than fit issues (which isnt their fault). I'd buy more from TLB if they offered Patina options.

@@mtbokor1969 Great thoughts. For me, priority for first-timers (aside from being a good value to begin with) is being able to freely change sizes, as I think that is where most people end up with a regrettable first-purchase as far as dress shoes go. Honestly I wouldn't even argue that TLB is not the best option, as I think they are a pretty good case if someone is looking to spend that kind of money. I just remember feeling pretty rough about spending around $350 (plus more on shoe care) on my first pair of nice shoes, even though I knew it had to be done. I think many people buying there first pair, probably in their early-mid twenties, would feel similarly. I think BS appeals to a more comfortable price point while still having ease-of-return/exchange, even though they are obviously lower-grade than TLBM. They retail at $220, though nowadays seem to almost always have a sale running for $170 - $200. I am speaking with reference to the U.S. consumer, Dress Well's primary audience. Internationally, BS loses that edge a bit. I would question whether a first-time buyer would even be able to fully appreciate TLBM to the extent that it makes sense to spend the extra money. I certainly would not have - though I might have even been frustrated at the break-in period, not yet understanding that a stiffer leather that requires break-in is part of a quality shoe. Plus the fact that a first-timer buyer is likely to wear through the uppers of their first pair faster, making mistakes as they learn to walk in them, proper shoe care, etc. Good wine is only worth only as much as one has the experience to appreciate it. The messaging in my videos is always a fine line. Videos like this I try to telegraph true and accurate information that teaches a deeper understanding of how to asses value in shoes, but also keep it accessible to those who are buying maybe just their first few pairs, or are simply unfamiliar with the international market and shoes broadly. Is Hand-Welted more valuable than Goodyear Welted? I believe so and for a variety of reasons - some more abstract. For many people watching this video, to delve into 'why' may cause more confusion than help. I assumed most people just want to be sure that Hand-Welted is not something that is particularly worse or different in a potentially regrettable way compared to Goodyear Welt. I picked on BLKBRD a bit too hard and should have given them more credit. They are really doing something quite special. I am not as familiar as I'd like to be with their product, so I'll have to reach out to them at some point. They are clearly on a path to be something really great. I never thought poorly of Carlos Santos, though they just kind of flew under my radar until recently when I started really looking critically at their products. Beyond being great all around, the patinas I think are really what elevate them from a good deal to a uniquely great deal. I look forward to make a dedicated video on them. I'm in love with the Chelseas I've got. I always appreciate your comments. You are far more experienced and knowledgeable than I am in this market and I respect your insight.

@@DressWell.Madaras You are too kind in your cooments about my knowledge. I agree that BS or even Meermin ( good return policy) are a more palatable entry point for a first time buyer. You could argue that BS bc they are blake construction is the best choice since blake tend to need less break in out of the box. So many great brands doing awesome things at various price points. I look forward to more videos for you.

What a compliment!

Thanks for the tip!

Thank you for saying this!!!

Thank you! I actually have a Bridlen Main Line review in progress, ETA about 3 weeks. I'd love to cover their Blake at some point as basically the cheapest-but-still-good-quality stitched shoes in the world. I don't know about the leather. A commenter once said the Blake line uses leather from more local Indian tanneries, presumably a bit cheaper than the premium leather for their Main/Founders line. I have not verified this, though. I also am not sure I would be too worried at $111, unless it was cosmetically dysfunctional, which I'd be surprised to see from them. They are pretty transparent and good people. I suggest just shooting them an email and they'll probably be happy to share!

Thank you! No lol. Sportiva Bushido II with trail running socks.

They don't appear to be particularly high quality in terms of construction and materials, but they definitely have unique designs that I don't really see anywhere else.

@@DressWell.Madaras Thank you very much! Your reply is much appreciated!

I have multiple models with a rubber sole on the store.

Thank you for the comment! I try to be inclusive of my international audience, though ultimately I don't speak much to shipping fees/duties/import fees only because I am very unfamiliar with how that all works over there and would probably do more harm than help to try and do so.

@@DressWell.Madaras You are doing just great brother and I am sure your entertaining and informative style will get the subs with time. You are a fresh take on the subject of men's style!

Thank you very much!

Boulder, Colorado!

Thanks Bill!

Thank you, I will!

@@DressWell.Madaras you know what You made me go 600 pound in the red for a pair of Yearn x Arterton Balmoral Oxford. I was holding off from impulse buying Yearn shoes pretty well like a few months, why did you have to make that review

​@@keki4578 Are they good though?

@@BothellPlaysMusic I can answer in 5-6 weeks
