Horween has an insane reputation around the world. I would love to give rocado a shot just because their prices are reasonable, Unlike the ridiculous prices of horween products.
@@michaelheart650 I’m curious what the insane reputation is, and why the prices are viewed as ridiculous. I’d love to hear more
I love those kind of pants….outstanding
Both of those suits are way too tight. Otherwise, good video.
Beautiful boots
First time I’ve seen Horween color #6
Hey thanks for the video! What color is the Shinki shell - is that Bordo or Cognac?
The lines of the arch support and heel are superb!
My biggest problem is that there is no consistency in sizing. Even varies greatly through brands. May have 3-5 pair that fit great from one brand and then all of a sudden buy a new pair at same size and it’s over a full size different. Wolverine was the latest I thought figured out, but was wrong. 😢
What's the "cut" of your 15th Anniv Momos there? -- high or narrow tapered?
Why didn’t you wear your Omega 😩
Beautiful job and what a beautiful color of Cordovan leather! Gorgeous!!
Cant focus. Just trying to imagine how many people have feet shaped like arrows. I would never fit in those shoes!
@@joshuafreeman9807 you’d be surprised. That’s usually everyone’s assumption but the difference is, the shoes are still designed for the anatomical shape of a foot, but the exterior design elements and proportions are what make it look sleeker than the shapes you’re used to seeing. In my experience, once you try a pair on you’d probably realize they’re more comfortable and there’s a lot more room in the shoes than you expect
The best of the best!
As far as size goes, I think that you are at a healthy limit. bookcase -healthy . I am not a derby fan, but I think that the last shoe you showed is exceptionally beautiful. But My whore wings would have to be a balmoral. . my collection started from 11 to 15 inch tall beetle boots none of that ankle high crap and from there I just liked everything to be closed laced or zipped on .my derby/blutchers. Don’t get much use as I am just not used to them. I can only wear them to the car before I change my mind and go back and change out of them.. baby steps
I stayed away from hatch grain for a while vecause of it beibg made generalky of corrected leather/lesser quality. That saud i bought some brown crocket and jones hatchvgrain about a month ago and love them. Might try a pair of conistons in hatch grain too.
1 maybe 2 of my last pair did not get blown to smithereens
I think i found my answer 😎🤙🏽🤌🏽👍🏽
Hi. What kind of Jeans do you wear with your Alden Boots... I'm having trouble finding legibly scaled properly jeans... and I noticed the way you cuff your jeans too ... The way your "Jeans to boot " well scaled/fitment/ proportioned well/// with your Aldies is legit!!!
Thanks for the video. Any chance you can give us an update of your experience with these vs role club. I know you have a videos comparing the two but I would love to see an updated video. I would also appreciate if you talked in more detail about sizing specifically the clinch.
@@dcpower23 we can give it a try!
Amazing finish!
Great content! Thanks for sharing.
really enjoy your reviews in general, but downgrading the acme because of a shoe tree that makes noise? and the acme is from their lower grade shoe line, etc. (i just picked up the yearn balmoral boot, coincidentally, and i don't think i'm at the level that i can 'nitpick' like this. i think that it's a really nice boot, extremely well priced.
Would you be able to find out the song for me noww? pleaseeee? 🥹
It’s from this artist audiio.com/chill-winston
what is the song you used at the opening?
@@ViceKnIghtTA oh man I do not know. This was a while ago. Sorry
@@Shellvedge :( I really liked it....I wanted to know 🥺
I love the double Norwegian split toe. So much so that they will be my next shoe from Acme. We’ve been chatting about recreating the shoe but not in Cordovan.
What under 1000, I've ask its above 1000
@@devinfahada4880 acmeshoemaker.com/product/7137-the-marvel-captoe-double-monk/ It’s $950 USD.
Didn't they immediately apologize and offer to remake? Mistakes happen right? You offered a somewhat weird proposition that you would get to wear them for awhile and then decide. Businesses need to move on from a sale and can't have open ended agreements like that. I don't think your story detracts from Carmina. Certainly not for me. I've bought 3 pairs since this story came out.
@@hoosiercoinreview6428 yeah Carmina makes nice shoes! Glad to hear they’re doing well! As far as the experience, it was the 2nd or 3rd pair, custom ordered, in row within a few months that all had similar issues. They didn’t immediately offer that, and to my recollection I proposed a solution in absence of a proposed solution from them and because they already had to remake that pair of boots 2 times. And I didn’t feel it was appropriate to have them remake it again, if it wasn’t absolutely necessary. But either way, glad they’re doing well!
Can I pull them up for formals
wonderful collection. Mind if I ask where you got that lovely shoe cabunet from?
If I ever made it to New York, visiting this shoe store is high on my list of things to do. Sadly JF will be online only except for a lucky few who will be able to make an appointment to see him. Great man and great brand.
Im a surveyor (the engineers they were originally made for) and i wear them
I see the heritage brands you mentioned as the only viable options for work. Going up from these brands is for people who really like shoes
hi are they light weight?
I would love a light leather color Role Club engineer boot like this.. I got some black Horween Horsehide Wesco Mr. Lou's the other month and now I really really like engineer boots.. love just being able to slip them on.. so convenient.. and its more leather there to love! I actually think your Clinch shape looks more sleek.. but finishing wise.., nothing beats Role Club imo.. and damn, do I love his outsoles.. I also like that he does them a little shorter than most.. thanks..
Man , you’re cutting through my heart 😢😢
what did each of these shoes cost?
@@mtbokor1969 the one was a sample. I honestly don’t remember on the shell cordovan one. In the $2500 range I presume
Who made the chocolae suede shoe? You didn't say. I think it is from AM.
I'm 6 foot tall and my foot measured 9.5 inches in length standing so I wear a size 10. Is this correct?
My shoes just fall of. They didn't have a size 9
@@TruthTriumphs786 I’d suggest getting the right size then
yes,, please do more elaborate videos on the differences in Horween, Rocado, Shinki, and Maryam.. they appear to be the main players for Shell and so far I've only had Horweens.. very curious to try the other tanneries offerings.. especially Rocado marble or museum.. thanks!
How to order
Entre los españoles la marca TLB Mallorca tiene hormas exactas para cada modelo especifico. En cambio Carmina sorprendentemente solo tiene una horma generica para todos.
Great tips! Thank you so much for sharing and showing off my products!
@@dapperwoodworks thank you Justin! I think we need to start development on the Dapper Shoerack! 😂💪🏻. There’s a demand!
The most important difference you need to understand is that Shinki Cordovan are a well-finished horse butt . it is not a shell like the Horween. The front side of the shinki has hair follicles, the back side is well-processed pulp.
One thought I would like to add about the value of a proper fit is that the item will function properly. Duh to myself! I totally agree with you about caring for our shoes and jeans. I have to admit/confess that I wash and then dry my jeans in the dryer until they are dry. What!??? The pattern used for the Relaxed Fit Lee Jeans is the perfect fit for me. They seem to get a little stretched out some after a wear or two, and the drying in the dryer seems to bring them back to the fit I prefer. They last for years and are not expensive. Just my 4 cents.
@@arthurcatalanotto1151 yeah for sure and honestly the main thing is the care process works for you and the pair fits well!
Man, even getting your hands on either of these two seems like a real chore.
Great advice. Fit is everything, definitely.
@@darrenhall7454 thanks Darren! Yeah its the easiest thing to get wrong but the hardest to get right
Could you provide some details about the shoe/boot shelf? That's much more elegant looking than anything I've seen elsewhere. Thanks!
@@Korulag76 yeah! I actually just bought an unfinished bookcase from Home Depot and did the shelves and stain myself to match the piece from @dapperwoodworks! I say we overload Justin with requests for shoe racks until he starts to sell them for all of us!
