What's the return policy? I have really wide feet, and it's been tough to find the right sneaker
i want to buy 2 pairs but my problem is sizing as always. eu measurement 44 in lengt but 46 in wide and just to be sure my I have tail fots also. have no idea how to describe this in English. I have already registered for buying early but buying shoes online is a big risk for me.
Wanted to order one, but my tiny shoe size of US 5.5/6 or EU 37/38 is (as usual) not available... 😭 Oh well. Hope folks with "regular sized" feet enjoy these fine sneakers.😊
it says "No results could be found for SMUGS" how to I sign up for the next drop?
bought the natural ones and really debating buying the blacks too... pls stop hurting my wallet
are they true to size
Feet will love smugs
@@klovor I would size down. I have several pairs of Crown Northamptons and Gorals - I got used to sizing down all my leather sneakers after a while. If anything, go with the size in cm/inches rather than the plain number. My girlfriend has two pairs of Gorals and it's the same deal for her. This is because with normal sneakers the walls of the upper are usually thick and stuffed with padding which makes an out the box fit easier for mass markets. With leather sneakers, the sole might be the same size as your normal run-of-the-mill sports company footwear, but because it's leather instead of two materials with padding in-between - they have a larger internal volume. Don't worry though, they will resize for free if anything goes wrong, their customer service bends over backwards for the client (literally). My GF bought Mellors which were on a final sale, from leather they were getting rid of and actually sold all the shoes in it before she actually finally got hers to try on - still took hers back and sized it down after it turned out they came being too big for her (she didn't listen when I told her to size down). They released the Whitley's which come in male sizes only but my GF loved them so much she asked if they could do a female size for her - no problem, they're on their way. I wanted a navy blue Horween Cavalier versoin of SMUGS - here you go Sir, just a little extra to pay for the individual order. They will also slap a sole in a different color if u want (black/white) - just ask them.They're fantastic, you will not be disappointed.
i really hate i cant afford a pair. :( I absolutely love these. I'm loving the brown the most but I would wear every color. Nice work yall
they will be cheaper in the long run
@@-IE_it_yourselfLike the old saying: hurt now not later, the amount of pairs of cheap shoes you'd go through before even ruining this pair would far outweigh the cost, better off buying a good pair now
@@Queenofcats36 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory
@@Queenofcats36 i agree, but any shoes are better than no shoes.
I just can't afford them right now, but these are 100% the boot/sneaker lovechild I have dreamed of for years. Maybe one day....
Thank you and Goral for making these!!! And a double thank you for all the great info your channel has provided me over the years.
Damn! This is like the perfect shoe i've been waiting for without even realizing. I wasn't expecting to spend £300 today, but here we go.
I almost didn’t take advantage of the early access but I caved and I am glad I did. That natural leather look is so so good.
Thank you! I have literally searched for this type of channel for nearly 3 years when I really got into what “made” boots. I got into a job that gave me the money and said “go buy the best pair of boots for you”. I ended up buying a pair of ( required) steel toe-red wing boots and love them.
Just got my green smugs today. The box looked like they had used it as a stand in for a football match. It was wet, lumpy, and wrapped in plastic. The actual Goral box was surprisingly well intact, and the shoes... Beautiful. I've been walking around in my gym clothes and smugs, because I couldn't wait to put them on to take a shower and dress.
First impression is that aesthetically, they are pretty perfect, the soles are some of the most comfortable I've felt for a flat sneaker, and the leather feels like it's going to be butter once they break in. The matching waxed laces are icing on the cake. So far, the only issue I've found is in the collar(?) When laced up it turns inward and put consistent pressure on the leg. I believe that once they break in this won't be an issue, but it may stop me from going out for long stretches in them until they do break in.
I'm super excited to have a gourmet sneaker to add to my "I'm an adult, and I can have nice stuff" stable of footwear.
Literally just finished buying my pair in natural. So glad I waited to buy these!!!! Thanks dude!!!
I got the green ones. I don't think I've ever been this excited to get shoes. Congrats on the launch!
This channel is how I find boots
These are awesome. Love all the collaborations and reviews you do.
Sheffield is only 40 mins from me. think ill buy a pair to support a UK based company.
go there and buy it in the factory outlet
These are awesome! Love the natural leather look.. I wish i could afford a pair. Wes should definitely do a video tour of his closet, all his favorite shoes & clothing.
This is exciting, I regret that the price point is more than I can do at the moment but I can only hope that you inspire more of this type of quality in sneakers....salute brother!
Received my dark brown SMUGS today. They look and fit great! I have 3E feet and got the shoes in wide, and they're comfortably roomy. They're really beautiful to the eye too. I was so worried about my sizing choice and trying to temper my expectations, but I'm beyond pleased now. I don't even understand how they're so comfortable underfoot, as the bottoms look super modest from the cut-in-half. As another commenter mentioned, the tops of the tongues are definitely stiff against the bend of the foot, but I'm excited for them to get more comfortable as they break in!
What I like about these sneaker boots is that they are really good looking, stylish and classic simplicity. Not trendy which is trending for a season then next season they look outdated.
So glad to catch this video, as a boat woman I really like a gum sole and one that is re-solable ! Also cones in Wide widths for my square feet, with bunions and hammer toes.
It seems the Europeans know how to make some quality shoes.
I love my pair of altamas and are great in the summer but I will definitely be getting a pair of these for cooler and wetter weather.
I've never heard of Goral until your video's and honestly they're exactly what I've been looking for in terms of leather sneakers that just look smart.
I can't afford a pair at the moment but when I can I'll definitely be picking up a pair or two!😆 (I absolutely love the Black/Gum colourway)
I’ll stick with my Horween Thursdays for 1/3rd of the price.
yep
Is it the same level of quality?
you know RA is a salesman?
@@aharonsidorov5145 only difference I see is there’s no Blake stitch in the Thursday. Pretty sure Thursday has a thicker veg tan “mid” sole but no felt.
What's the toe box like? Looks pretty narrow.
We need more smugs in Forest! That colorway is insane
I can't wait for mine to arrive. I ordered within 5 mins of them being live. This will be my 4th pair of shoes from them. This looks like it'll be my daily shoes
7.68! That center cut score was so specific : )
These boots remind me of the old school boxing boots they use to use in the late 1800's and early to mid 1900s! Pretty dope looking!
They look like my absolute favorite boot ever, Lems. Awesome looking SMUGS!
bought the black with gum sole and I cannot wait for it to arrive!
I literally bought a Brannock device to make sure I got the right size for these. Gonna be the coolest old ass metal head at the shows. Very excited.
Huh??
I purchased a pair of the naturals thanks to early access. Quite costly for us Canadians but excited to receive them.
I really thought about grabbing a pair of these to complement my natural MUGS. But they are so similar to the Crown Northampton wholecut hightop shell cordovan sneakers I couldn't justify it. They do look amazing though!
Perhaps the world’s greatest sneaker?
Great job on the collab!
almost cost as much as trump sneakers
Can't get a pair this drop but hopefully by the end of the year can get one! that green looks so good!
Nice! Although I need more structure in the sole like Crown Hampton or Feit (handsewn)
They look amazing!
Unfortunately wearing the Jim Green AR barefoot for 7 months now has spoiled me. Now I only want zero drop, leather soles, and wide toe box.
This. Years of wearing narrow toebox rigid shoes spoiled my feet though.
But could it be possible or economical to make durable and repairable bare foot shoes? I did buy moose leather moccasins so let's see how to work in long term.
Same here - I really like the look of these shoes, but I just can't wear something with a narrow, pointed toebox any more; my big toe gotta be straight. I don't even care that much about zero-drop, tbh.
Just got mine about ten days ago. Love them. The naturals are so cool of they come back in stock and i have the money im gonna get the dark brown or the green
MUGS are not practical in southern US, so this is a nice edition to support good business.
There are THREE soles to pick as well: Gum (this), White and Black.
I bought a black pair going to be my first black leather pair of shoes and thank you so much for having a wide width option.
I ordered a pair in natural. So excited!
Would absolutely love the natural color with white cup sole
I bought a black and natural pair. Can’t wait to get them…. Only bought the blacks at first but I couldn’t help myself lol
Well done mate, always wanted trainer (Sneaker) boots to happen. Plus, talk about the money you’d save.
Awesome job
Really nice. It's like a step down from Crown Northampton but still very classy.
Bought the natural but absolutely love the green and black. Unfortunately, I can't afford them all.
You should do a video on the Jordan 1 Gore-Tex to see if there is any difference in the quality of it and if there is really any major differences.
The black and gums are so sweet
These are fantastic.
Ordered a natural set. I literally wear my irish setter steal toes every single day, I'm in the oilfield, but need something for in my garage that can be comfortable on concrete all day as I'm building custom trucks. I hope these are the perfect shop shoe. I'll set my irish setters aside for oilfield jobs.
not able to buy these right now but i do want some. i will be saving up for the next drop. also the colors are great
I really like these ❤ and that's a really dope name'
I'm glad there will be another drop. I wanted another color but wasn't able to drop $700 on 2 pairs of shoes today, lol.
I really want a pair. Nice to be able to get something thats long lasting and high quality. I hate modern short lived throw away products.
I used to have a pair of wrangler shoes exactly the same as these in the late 70’s early 80’s
Wish I can get but ima have to pass until hopefully another run bc they are badass and I love CXL!
And I see the Last Resort AB shoes! when will those get their own vid? Love mine for skating
This is really amazing. I always thought sneakers are only good for one season (I had a cheap puma suede that disintegrated after 5 month) until I bought a good quality one. It was 5x more expensive, but I have one for 8 years and it is still good, and smells nice. And now I purchased another one of the same company. The problem is, the leather was really unpleasant until the break-in finished. I had pain after long walks. After break-in period this is absolutely comfortable, like a tailor made.
Have you ever heard of Geox? Is it good quality, or is it just pure luck that mine lasted 8 years.
This the reincarnation of the van otw alomars and I thank you for that 🤙
I tuckpointed that tannery and rebuilt the parapet when I first joined the workforce 16 years ago. I’ll never forget that smell lol
Delivered! They fit and feel great!
I recognize that you are not Goral customer support, but you are the first here to say you received your order. I still haven’t heard anything about my order. Did you receive an email that the order was shipped prior to delivery, or did they just show up? The only communication I have ever received was an order confirmation from a couple of months ago. I’ve been hesitant to bug them, but it has been months at this point.
@@patrickreidy9783 I'm not the guy you commented to, but I received my shoes today. I indeed received an e-mail that my shoes were shipped, and in fact received e-mails updating me on when the leather was being clicked, the lasting was being done, etc. I wouldn't hesitate to ask them about it at this point.
I think this would look awesome as a low cut sneaker too
I have always dreamed of this exact same shoe.
I'd love to buy some af1s designed by you lol, with that nice brown leather
I wear onistuka tiger 66 and even if they aren't that durable ( the soles wearing out too fast ) they have proved to have a decent quality upper that doesn't crease and is light and has durable canvas lining.
Please review them!
That black and gum soles version has to be the best looking sneaker ive ever seen. it just speaks to my goddamn soul. and the quality on top of it! adsdfgrhgfeawgrse!!
Regarding what to call these sneaker/boot hybrids... I'm going with "Snookers".
I ordered mine yesterday about 10 minutes (of anguished "which colour?!" debate) after I got the early access email (I went for green - to go with my favourite watch). But like others, I was sooooo tempted to get black. And natural. In the end, common sense prevailed and I'll wait to see how the fit and comfort of the first pair turns out. I'm a UK size 10, so I ordered size 10 (there seems to have been a little confusion/debate over the sizing instructions, but it seemed pretty clear to me).
I'd love to see a comparison between these and the Jak sneakers. The last ones have also cork filling and they are a little cheaper
Can your recommend a great leather sneaker that doesn’t crease? Your said cordovan leather? Crown Northampton?? These are beautiful honestly I want a pair. Great job brother
Great looking sneaker. My go to is the 511 Noris which I am in no way comparing. Just curious if you r ever tested them?
Pairs well with the houston green bfar
Hope Goral can make a low top rough out variant!
I’ve bought mine in natural. Thanks Mr. Weston.
Nice!!!!! Next project, make a sneaker that has the attributes of a running shoe. Comfortable insole, traction tread to keep ur grip to the pavement! Please I’m sure they’ll sell. I love these, boot quality and looks of a casual sneaker for dress up time. I love my air forces ones but sometimes I want something a bit more classy.
Or a boot that has the attributes of a running shoe.
@@ShadeSlayer1911 I though of that also good idea
@@americantopgunner5102 Though, military boots might already have that covered. They're not amazing for running shoes, but soldiers do have to run in them, so yeah. I just want to have a boot that I can also run around in. Too bad military boots aren't all that durable or long lasting.
I have some Allen Edmonds that are Horween sneakers. I haven't cut them in half. And, the QC was pretty atrocious on those. The materials seem solid, though.
Will there be a low top version of these shoes?
That's a lot even for really great t-shoes!
I need a pair in my life!
I like the way Air Force 1s look when they’re broken in. They look natural to me.
thanks for not just doing a quick rare limited run, it's going to take a couple months to save for a pair.
I would love these if they we're a low top ❤
Do you think you'll ever review Beckett Simonon's sneakers? I have several pair and they're very comfortable but I'd love to know how they compare against other brands.
recently you made a video that Crown Northampton is the best build sneaker, so, how do they compare? how should I raad these videos?
If you got these in wide and removed the insole altogether, would it be as comfortable as a JG barefoot AR? Because I love those freakin' boots and they've slowly replaced me wearing just about anything else unless I'm dressing for an occasion....
Do long lasting skate shoes next please
Question. I wear 11D/E new balance and 11-11.5 for most shoes. Do they run smaller? Bigger? I can see people being hesitant buying shoes they can’t try on first especially if it’s being shipped over seas. Thanks
Would be interesting to see a summer version with holes all over. Not sure that's doable just like that. Perhaps with metal like in converse just more? Wherever doable without rubbing.
Yeah
I’ve never had a pair of sneakers last over 2 weeks regardless of how easy I try to be with them
I do a lot of farming/ranching, construction, metal work and dirt work
Finding a good pair of footwear that lasts is a bit tough
pls make a video about Drew's logger boot and/or Frank's Patriot. Price is good and I want to know your opinion.
How comes you are cutting in half so many of your own pairs from the colabs? Do you keep a pair for your self, I hope you do because the wall of your own colabs seems so satisfying
I have Fox River socks that took me a decade to break in; over 3k hrs a pair. A few weeks to wear in shoes is nothing.
If you made like a low top version of these, I might be interested in them. I already have boots, so a high top sneaker kinda defeats the point of it being a sneaker for me, the point being that they are more casual and easier to put on than a boot.
Can you do a review on the old moc toe diehard shoe/boot
Well decided to check the website, $325 is just a tad outside my budget. I'm sure they're great though.
I would get them if they were made in the US. Maybe the next collaboration will be.
I just pre ordered these in my standard branock size. Did I have to order these in sneakers size?
I love the green ones dearly. I have to save up some money, but I might be in the market for these in the autumn.
Just got mine in naturals
Góral isn’t a last name, it’s a heritage. Górales are Polish mountain folk, they come from Zakopane which is a mountain town in the south. I find it funny that the Polish word for hill-billy is now a designer brand in England.
bro, make them with a bit wider toeboex (like jim green) and im buying these immedietly!!
Are they orthopedic and in size 12 6E ? I use New Balance walking sneakers because they are.
Will there be a low top variety at some point?
Can you do a tear down of the P448?
