My grandfather had 7 pairs he would wear, trading off one pair per day over 30 years. i luckily wear the same size, and inherited his shoes, and have carried on the tradition.
I have only recently found your site with your comprehensive reviews. I admire and can only envy your collection (financial reasons). Am following you and hope to see more. May I ask do you have a special shoe closet? Very refreshing to see you actually wearing them and commenting. Nice socks too. Am learning a lot from you. Thank you. You are truly a well dressed gentleman!
Thanks for the great videos. I also prefer both the looks & practicality of double-oak soles and sometimes have an extra layer added to some of my single oaks to basically convert them. Do you see the appeal in the 'sleeker' look of single-oak shoes that AE has been trying to apply to more of its best-sellers? I don't see it and would be interested to hear if you have any dress shoes you think actually benefit aesthetically from having the single-oak instead of a double?
Hi Adam, thanks for the comment. In larger shoe sizes, I think most shoes look better with a double sole. However, I think the aesthetic of a cap toe or plain toe Balmoral seems to go better with a single oak sole.
It completely depends on your foot, and the maker and last that you try. The reality is they are all using the same materials and same manufacturing methods. So, comfort should be very similar, if you can find the size and last that fits your foot best.
Thank you ..nice size and width...wish I could polish them for you! Enjoy watching how you describe each pair too! (j4166899911@gmail.com if you wish to send more pics)
I got virtually all of them new. The burgundy Alden shortwing Bluchers I got from Ebay. The black Cambridge are seconds. Everything else is 1st quality. Thanks for watching!
Nochaser Guitar Channel Bespoke shoes sound great but it puts you in a whole new level of cost. I have read that a pair of bespoke shoes from John Lobb can cost in excess of £4,000.
