- Here I unbox a pair of shoes by one of the most reputable shoe brands the world has ever known, Gaziano & Girling. This video highlights their new Optimum line, a new line consisting of all features of bespoke without the custom last process. Completely, 100% handmade shoes at MTO options. For the shoe connoisseurs out there, you won't want to miss this video!

Excellent review - those shoes are incredible - must get a pair!
Thank you Duane!
This channel is underrated. Those are very beautiful shoes. I almost don't want to wear them for fear of messing them up.
Thanks for the praise
Learning so much about shoe craft through this video.its an art
Happy to help Pedro!
The exceptional quality shows in the video. So the price is not for everyone. Great video and thanks for exposing us to such brands. Very unique what you do.
Thank you Joe!
Absolutely gorgeous shoes!
Yes sir
Great review. I need that Aubergine pair in my life!!
Thanks Mike!
Great Review on G & G, I agree with you if I could afford them I would own a pair and this is the reason I love your brand because I did my history and discovered that you learn from G & G so I know will be happy with my pair, Thanks Justin.
Thank you David I appreciate your words and support!
G&G are masterpieces bespoke or not, along with Saint Crispin and Antonio Meccarrelio.
Thanks for sharing Mars
Very informative and detailed review, Justin! I’ve been eyeing the Optimum line for quite some time now. After I’ve dipped my toe some more in G&G’s MTO offerings (my very 1st pair should be finished in August) I may consider commissioning an Optimum line model in the future.
Happy to help and glad that you enjoyed! Enjoy your upcoming pair!
All very well explained. I'd heard about the G&G Optimum line. They look so beautiful. I cannot hope to afford shoes of this calibre, beauty and craftsman/craftswomanship (I guess a lot of the closers are female?). While I may never own a pair of G&G, I will never slate or criticise shoes of this quality - they are exquisite.
Thanks
Tony
Thanks for sharing Tony. From last time I visited, yes the closers were female.
I have to agree G&G makes some exquisite shoes. The waist is just a work of art. Even their standard factory line is made with top notch quality. One day I might just fork over the dough for a bespoke pair, but for now I’m quite happy with my standard G&G MTOs. For everyone complaining about the Optimum price, these are worth every dollar.
Thank you for sharing 🙌
Thx Justin, for always making sense. If one has the eye for outstanding artisanal work and the wallet to go with it, then there is little room for arguing about pricing. From my side, if I see such a pair on somebody feet, I will nod in respect.
Thanks for the comment and support 🙌
“It doesn’t make logical sense to those who use logic” lol.
I miss you brotha love your stuff! ✌️
My man! Miss you too brother! You still in Seattle? I hope to see you soon!
Yep, still in the Greater Seattle Area. Definitely reconnect whenever you’re back in town!
@@christopherdavies6137 will do brother! 6912 still last digits of number?
Finally I can buy a pair of G&G. Had hard time pulling the trigger on bespoke but then RTW will never fit me (I am a woman in EU size 35). Look forward to getting the Savile single monk.
Niceee enjoy them!
This is why I purchase your shoes, Mainly because I know you studied under their direction and supervision.
Thank you Clarence I do appreciate your support!
Definitely, definitely an exceptional video and thumbs up 👍🏼!!!!!!!!!! Wow, wow, & wow! If that’s not the epitome of footwear, than Patek Phillipe and A. Lange and Sôhne timepieces are comparable to Seiko, which will never happen in this lifetime!!! Justin thanks for really showing us the close up features, because from a far to an amateur they will look ordinary and their definitely not. And yes, please keep the detailed review Le and exciting content coming, very enjoyable. If you haven’t already can you please do a review on Yeossal Shoes, I think you did an unboxing of some merchandise from them , but if you could review their shoes that would be awesome, even though on your blog I read your review on them✨👌🏼. And yes if any loser does talk trash about them online, they don’t have the competence or buying power to invest in these one of a kind shoes, I agree with you more passionately than anyone, because luxury feels nicer than any ordinary piece made, I’ve experienced it and will attest to it time and again!

Thanks as always for sharing Zohair! Will contact Yeossal about an unboxing video ;-) have a great weekend
@@theshoesnob_official
Thank you Justin likewise 🙋🏻♂️
Damn when ever I build my 6k square feet home. I will ! listen I will ! have 100 pairs of selected options that I would never wear !!!!. I would walk into my closet and admire my colección aside my watches too☝️
Exquisite craftsmanship from G&G, as always. Justin, if possible, could you make a video about the cost of making a shoe. Whether it be the different grades of leather from different tanneries around to the world to the finer details and handwork. I think many people get caught up on the price tag, but don't necessarily understand the time, skills, and materials that are required to produce quality dress shoes.
Thank you Maxim! Yes I have so many videos to make. It really is just about time and my ability to make a good quality video. But I will try ;-)
@@theshoesnob_official I appreicate the lighting response time, and I understand. In the meantime, I'll have to stop by the shop one day, and buy a pair of shoes.
@@crazyman82895 my pleasure. And yes that would be great and we would be grateful for the support
I was wondering if you had any experience with G&G with their main line. All my dress shoes are from C&J with 348 lasts E size and I'm wondering how they fit compared to G&G TG73 lasts.
Love your content btw!
I have. I wrote about them around 3/4 years ago. If you go to my unboxing playlist you will find it. I find TG73 to fit small than 348. For 348 I take uk6.5 and I take uk7 for tg73
A masterful line by G&G. I hope I can afford them one day. What saddens me is that we as a society now are not that into being properly dressed, well spoken and manners sometimes are taken as weakness or politically incorrect. Now a days anything and everything goes. What was a mark of a gentleman is now an acquired taste.
It is sad and hopefully there will be a shift in mentally with regards to that. One can only hope. Thanks for sharing Taimur. As well as your other recent support 🙌
GREAT video! The ST James II shoe. What color is it (Cherry Calf) ? and is that a classic square toe?
Thank you. As per your questions, not sure to be honest. I think the last was custom. And the color was the classic one as their bespoke model
I need more info on the septieme largeur wholecut the fit the174 last gedeon and the marceau 199 last balmoral captoe boot the fit. the 174 & the 199 are any of these elongated
off to London this week, I will be checking out the Orchid Wren... bee u tee ful.
Enjoy! Ask for Simon ;-)
@@theshoesnob_official I met Simon. he did a very thorough, and patient fitting... and, well, let's be honest , I fell for these the moment I saw them, and they really are a work of art up close... nuff said really, eh.. :-)
@@lozdawes8761 niceee I hope that you love them!
@@theshoesnob_official oh yes... just got to try to forget about them for the next few months though... lol
@@lozdawes8761 waiting is always the hard part ;-)
Justin, a comment. The GoPro keeps moving (focusing I guess) all the time. It is quite disorientating at times. Great shoes. I prefer the adelaide.
Yes I know. I do not know how to stop it. I think that is just what it does as I have it set to not autocorrect but I cannot find another setting to correct it even its on a tripod. As it is essentially built for movement I dknt think it likes still videos 🤦♂️
Almost all Oxford shoes from the different brands (Antonio Meccariello, Gaziano, Carlos Santos, TLB Mallorca, Carmina...) has the same design. Would be good if you make a comparison videos on some Oxford shoes which is better to buy.
Telling people which is better to buy is completely subjective and doesnt take into account peoples budgets, needs, likes, desires etc. Hard to make a comparison video based on facts. In the same pricepoint I might like the design of one but the fit of the other so which is better? Depends on what ee each value.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice shacket Justin. Can I ask where you got it? Cheers
Hey thank you! It is from Spier and Mackay: www.spierandmackay.com/product/Rust%20Linen%20-%20Field%20Jacket
@@theshoesnob_official thanks!
@@geoffrey8221 my pleasure ;-)
just picked up a pair of the Burnham Chelsey boots... they make my RM Williams look cheap... and that's saying a lot.
There is literally zero comparison. RM doesnt hold a breath to G&G. Enjoy your new boots
@@theshoesnob_official my G&G Burnham arrived yesterday... definitely makes the RM Williams feel like a $159 Chinese special ... Wearing then out on a date tomorrow.. expect to get compliments!
@@Sams911 nice one!!! Enjoy them and yes they should do the trick ;-)
Mr. Justin, i want to ask a question. How tall the heels? 1 1/4 Inch?
Sorry I did not measure but somewhere between 1 1/8-1 1/4 inches
@@theshoesnob_official Excellent... Thank you...
I'm sure it's amazing, but for the price I rather go full bespoke with someone else (vs. this all finish to same standard but not my own last)
Understandable
is it english brand?
Yes it is
So it’s like a silvano lattanzi just cheaper?
Nothing like a Silvano Lattanzi. This is better and yes, less expensive
@@theshoesnob_official why you say Lattanzi is lower quality?
I believe SL RTW are among the best.
@@Mr-Flo i did not say that. I said G&G optimum is better. SL prices are INSANE. Its a rip off. Finishing, pattern making, overall everything does not touch G&G
@@theshoesnob_official yes I agree pricing is crazy. However, what he does do in RTW, in my opinion, only few do in their bespoke line :).
But you could make a video regarding SL shoes.
@@Mr-Flo I wont do a video on him unfortunately. I dont own his shoes and doubt he will send me a pair. I cannot say I agree with you though. So many makers better than SL.
Wrist check?
I do not follow?
@@theshoesnob_official What watch are you wearing? 😁
