Mate with your help I’ve gone from dressing the same way I did as a 19 year old crook to now finally dressing with a bit of class at the age of 40 it’s had a massive effect on my outlook and seriously helped me shake my old circle that wasn’t at all good for my future
Well done, you deserve great success. M.
That sad moment when a 100$ pair is looked upon as cheap/low quality, but it still empties my bank account:/
I feel your pain. This shoe game prices are no joke. I am learning the hard way. But , women do look at the shoes though .
It's not impossible to get decent shoes for $100 or a little more - Charles Tyrwhitt, Johnson & Murphy, Cole Haan if you like that sort of thing all make nice shoes that you can get for closer to $100 than $200 - and if you can find them on sale.... but the O.G. ain't lying, the first thing anyone checks out, man or woman, professional or personal, is the shoes.
+Henrik Eriksen Yup, I feel the same way. The only thing worse is when said $100 pair of shoes empties your bank account and then promptly falls apart as you're walking down the street. : (
It’s tough, but good shoes can be found on sale if you watch. Over time, they are cheaper if you maintain them
I like Aldos. They're Canadian. They're very affordable, trending and up-to-date. I particularly love they're double monk straps. Check them out man, you might like what you see, most of their shoes are no more than $200. I got the double monk straps (Two pairs) for $80 a piece.
Style O.G. you give out all the tips my grandfather gave me. He never let me wear jeans as he called them field pants. That's what workers were to pick crops. The jeans game has changed now. A good pair of shoes will last 8-10 years if cared for. Thanks for keeping black men properly groomed and geared up.
Salute!
Good job my man, up to 40K!!! I remember this channel just a few months ago at 2.4K. Keep up the great work
Thanks GL!
I bought a pair of Crockett & Jones Alex recently which means I have more than spent this year’s style budget. However, I can still watch this channel as much as I want. Thank you. M.
I like Johnston and Murphy. Great shoes for about $200 or more. Also very comfortable.
appreciate the input Joseph!
Yeah Johnston and Murphy are the best. And contrary to this video I got me 2 Shaler Slip ons that are square toe
Allen Edmonds have sells, clearance, and factory second.
True indeed Cuong!
What was the name of that shoe you in first example? Magnanni?
Allen Edmonds is the best!!!
canibusnj yes they are. I’ve had the same three pairs for 3 years
canibusnj There are many brands that are superior to Allen Edmonds (which aren’t too far above Allen Edmonds’ price point). Allen Edmonds I would say is the best as far as entry-level luxury shoe brands.
Thank you my brotha. You have really helped me on how a grown man suppose to dress.
My pleasure Music Man!
THANK YOU brotha on doggin out the flip fops. Real men don't rock flip flops away from the pool.
Brotha you stay clean!
One of my favorite episodes 💯
Jeff love your vids and the energy and thought and research you put into them.
I am an Allen Edmonds (AE) fan huge. I have three things to add to your vid. One - sales, my fav AE is the 5th Ave. In dark brown I just bought one pair for $199 usually $425 - look for sales AE does sales. Two - don’t over polish your shoe, condition the leather with something like Venetian Cream, this lets the colour take on more character over time. Thee - AE has a lot of lasts (lasts are the forms used to build the shoe and give it its shape. Before investing in a 20 to 30 year shoe take the time to study the lasts get advise from an AE store or an experienced shoe person, find the last that fits your foot perfectly. If you do that most people are going to get a result that’s 99.99% as good as bespoke pair of shoes. A perfect fit is a thing of beauty it lets you relax into your style because of the comfort. Take the time to get the right last then hold off buy, buy only when AE has sales. Follow Jeff’s advise look at other men and pick what you like what you think looks good to you. Then build a life time collection.
On point as always O.G. Great video! Thanks for setting the record straight. Now I'm off to buy me some handmade Italian full grain leather Goodyear welted brown shoes!
Shane=Wise man!
👏👏👏 Everyone should be very aware of everything you mentioned, but there's always those who need multiple reminders. Good stuff!
Thanks Jefe!
I definitely have many more styles in brown than I do in any other color. Great video my brotha...and as always: saaaaluuuuute!
Salute Mars!
Thanks for the advice
Allen Edmonds. Classic style and quality have served me well for many years.
Great topic, the shoe game is serious. I own eight pairs of "first runs" Allen Edmons that are in my yearly rotation. They are worth every dollar.
Over the fence and out the park...again! I like every point you make here. Goood job, OG. Im not laying 4 bills for kicks now but I get the principle regarding quality.. My collection is the tier below yours, bro, but very well cared for. I built a portable shoe stand and shined shoes when I was around 10 years old so I have skills. Keep doing what you're doing and we will all keep learning. Thanx.
Appreciate the feedback Robert!
The brown shoe is soooo versatile that I've forgotten how to rock a black shoe! I almost feel out of place when wearing black shoes now. No idea how to dress them or even which pairs to look for.
But to add to shoes, check out DSW for Austin Grey or Cole Haan. They're definitely not your $400 pair of shoes, but they're affordable and stylish. I've noticed normal wear, as you'd expect from a $100+ shoe, but the leathers tend to not crease as much as your average department store shoe in similar price ranges.
appreciate the input Scotty!
Another great video, thank you Style OG! I'll admit, I have some growing up to do when it comes to my footwear. More dress shoes (collecting dust), less of my beloved sneakers. Salute!!
Salute Mark!
I recommend for starters (170 - 220 USD):
Meermin, Myrqvist, Loake
And if you wanna spend a little more to get better quality leather/construction for around 250- 350 USD ... I'd recommend:
TLB Mallorca, Carlos Santos, Lof and Tung, Cobbler Union
Cole Hann Johnson and Murphy and Allen Edmond are my shoes of choose ever man should have are a pair of Wingtip Oxford, classic Toe Cap single Monk Strap and Classic Loafer
King Style OG has spoken!!!!
It's hard for me to check these videos out as soon as you make them, but I'm loving them
appreciate it Martin!
Nailed it again my friend! Another great video Style OG. Saluad!
Thanks David!
Good Points. A future thought-I would like to see a video on your shoe collection and styles. Particularly why you chose those styles.
great idea Bob!
your entirely welcome. love your videos.
Another great video Jeff!! I’m stuck on Magnanni brand shoes. One reason is that you can get them in a leather and rubber sole. You can always find them on sale. A black pair of Chelseas and some brown double monks and I’m done tho.
Love Magnanni!
Another quality video Jeff!
Thanks Tim!
I was wondering what your thought are on this. I decided to only wear the barefoot/minimalist soled shoes for feet health. The issue is, it's difficult to find dress shoes with a zero-drop sole that still look good. Have you looked at any of the dress options from Vivobarefoot and Tadeevo? I think the latter have developed the best dress shoes with a zero-drop.
I thrift shop and have found high quality brands of shoes. They may need some TLC, but great deals!
Excellent points all. I shared this with my sons...
Appreciate it!
grahcias jeff! youre gentleman and a scholar. good luck brotha
Allen Edmunds, Cole Haan, Mezlan and Magnanni are solid choices OG!
Solid commentary
Salute 💯🔥
appreciate it BG!
The Style O.G. Respect!
Always keeping us on game
cole haan are so comfortable
Actually, Cole Haan’s have gone down in quality.
Meermin / Crownhill shoes / Glent shoes / Carmina are my choices here in Spain (Europe). Great channel,
Thanks Fabrice!
One of your best vids yet! Allen Edmonds last FOREVER with just average care. $300 at an AE store. $199 at Nordstrom Rack, and if you live in the right area, you can sometimes find them at Marshall's for less than that. Magnanni is good as well for more of Euro style.
appreciate the input Victor!
Great Tips! Thank you !
No problem!
Got myself a Cole Haan double recently - English Tan Wingtips and a pair of whole cut. About 200USD each. Definately a step up to other cheap brands here in Malaysia.
Great tips and review on a important topic Playa, especially when shoes and teeth are two of the first things a women will check out if they considering talking to a man. Salute...
Salute A Sally!
You're absolutely right. . We do look at men's shoes and teeth first.
As always.. I enjoyed the, video. Great knowledge thanks for sharing bro♥
Thanks Jeannine!
I’m from Detroit so when I was younger it was gator or nothing. But now I’m older I rock Donald Pliner’s and Magnanni
Hi Jeff. what's your take on how and when to where gators & other exotic shoes and belts accessories.
Excellent tips, Sir.
Thanks Drew!
This video makes me realize I need a blue gingham to go with my navy suit. That's a great look you have on.
Great vid! You right about a more expensive shoe but fellas...sometimes you gotta fake it til you make it. There are a few designers that offer a quality shoe for the budget; Stacy Adams, Kenneth Cole (sometimes), and Ashton Grey. Follow his tips on upkeep and you should be alright.
appreciate the input!
Great video, thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Great video, Jeff. I have some personal favorites to share. I favor Allen Edmonds shoes in black, brown, tan, and oxblood. As far as styles, I like cap toe and brogue oxfords, brogue derby, and monk straps. I also favor AE boots. I shop the sales and the outlet on the AE website. Although every AE shoe I own retails for $395-$425 per pair, by shopping sales I am able to get them for significantly less. As far as build construction, they are top of the line and American made. If you take care of them and have them recrafted, they can last decades. I also like and own two pairs of Johnston & Murphy boots. With J&M you need to be careful that you are getting their higher end products with Goodyear welts. They can also be great shoes and are re-craftable. There are likely other good brands out there that I am not aware of. So, I'm not saying these are the only two brands to consider. I am saying they are worth considering. In my opinion, shoes are literally the foundation of style.
appreciate the info Lou!
Good video! Me personally, I am quite impressed with the quality of Loake (1880 range) and Barker. Good solid Northamptonshire quality. Not sure about the availavility in the U. S. though. I have a couple of models with a Dainite rubber sole, also goodyear welted, for the wetter season.
Appreciate the input Stephan!
That combination you are sporting is nice.
Another great video! Thanks for mentioning the belt... that is MY pet peeve.
Thanks Elliott!
Just found this channel, great vid. I subscribed. Looking forward to more
Glad you are enjoying it. Welcome to the channel!
The Style O.G. gracias amigo
What do you recommend for someone on a budget. I want to invest in a winter wardrobe but don't know where to start.
Absolutely love brown! Especially my double monk strap's! And I usually get my loafers n dress shoes from Steve Madden not a bad price and lasts long 4 years? Not too sure about that lol
Preach! Salute!
My man K Cox!
I agree that square toe dress shoes really don't work so well with a formal suit or a tuxedo. They work better with more casual clothing like chino pants, an oxford shirt, a sweater vest, a polo shirt, jeans, and a flannel button up shirt. So really square toes are more of a dress casual shoe due to their big bulky shape.
Cole Haan dress shoes all the way. You can find really good deals on their dress shoes as they update the lines every year. You get comfort, support, grip and style with total quality (soles are replaceable). I am not a big fan of leather bottoms, but to each their own.
Brands (from low to high aprox): Meermin, Myrkvist, Skolyx, Yanko, Carlos Santos, Septieme Largeur, Cobbler Union, TLB Mayorca, Carmina, Crockett and John's
I forgot about Loake
Allen Edmonds, Carmina, Skolyx, Crockett and Jones, Crownhill, John Lobb, VASS, Graziano and Girling, Alden, Peal & Co. Those are my purchases.
I still rock my Stacy Adams,but i also wear mauri,belvedere, David x, farragamo, and more,all these shoes I have purchased a good price,last pairs on alligator world is one of my favorites, garment district in Los Angeles I got two pairs of eel skin and stingway slipons one brown and one gray,both for 300
Saksoff5th has great quality shoes that are on sale. That is where I cop my joints and still pay upwards of $200-300 on them. Salute OG.
I've bought a few pairs of Allen Edmonds Fifth Avenues, but got them when on sale. :-). I like the Double Monk Strap by Ace Marks.
You got me laughing at 'no square-toed shoes.' I'm not the most stylish dude but those shoes look ludicrous!
New to the channel, great stuff!
Thanks James. welcome to the channel!
Dropping knowledge salute
Salute Ernest!
Haven't shoe trees or shoe bags, been using newspaper, and for shoe bags cut out sleeves from dress shirt, works well keeps em clean
I Like Johnston and Murphy also Stacy Adams for picks in dress shoes. Would these shoe brands be recommended?
Paul Fredrick makes great dress shoes....Ive had a pair since 2011 and had them re-soled once....great shoes
I'll have to check them out..
I feel you on the flip-flops!
Hey Style O.G. love the energy, love the tips. Great video Sir
Much appreciated. Love your channel BTW!
Thank you, we appreciate that too
*STYLEST of ALL the OGs and the only FORM of true FASHION!!! I like Magnani because they are hand crafted and quality for a decent price. I try to buy shoes made in Europe vs the ones made in China. But I make sure I catch them at outlets for discounts.* #SAALLLUUTTEEE!!
My man the Blackest of all Knights!
NICE!!!
One point once again! Viewers should check out Pual Evans and Ace Mark. They run a lot of sales.
Love u bro. Fun stuff and true. Subscribed.
welcome to the channel Levi!
Good video brother keep them coming
Thanks Robert !
I have more pairs of Cobbler Union than any other. One of Carmina (best in my price range).
Nice one. Please do vid on stylish bathrobe's and pajamas.
Yes sir....top notch
Thanks!
I agree as to buying quality shoes. I have some Churches showed that are over 25 year old and the look like new.
Indeed !
Johnston & Murphy makes a great quality dress shoe, very affordable. 👍🏼
I agree Stephen..
please make a video on square toed shoes , like if u have little flat toed it looks good , but u say its a total no no , so can u please tell me as to up to what size of flatness in the toe region may be fashionable , do a info video to ppl like me
I am committing all kinds of fashion sins!!!😂😂😂😂
This is very educational, thank you for taking the time out to pour into the lives of others!
No problem Jemel!
My dress shoes are a pair of Nun Bush oxfords I’ve been wearing an average of once a week for the last 20 or so. Paid less than $40 for them back then; the Bx is still carrying them for around $69. They were brown when I bought them but I’ve managed to polish them to a rich cordovan.
I usually buy English shoes and have been very impressed with the quality of Cheaney shoes recently. They’re comparable in price to Allen Edmonds but the quality of the finishing is much higher. Loake is great for a more affordable shoe. Crockett & Jones is possibly the best English RTW shoemaker but I think their benchgrade is a little bit pricey now I have seen what Cheaney are offering at a lower price point.
I have a pair of Cheaneys and they are very pleasant. M.
All my dress shoes are Allen Edmonds and I get them at their discount outlet. I currently have 3 pair that I rotate. 1 dress boot (black) that I can dress down as well but also wear with a suit and 2 brown leather dress shoes one of which can be dressed up or down. At the outlet you can get either for around $150 range to $200 also DSW.
Appreciate the input Jadah!
I’m from the Beach, flip flops or sliders are a must.
Can't argue with anything you said in the video. Great info as always. Those square toe shoes gotta go....
Appreciate the feedback!
Wait wait wait, I live in San Antonio. It's almost always flip flop season. My toes are well kept😁👍🏿.
I prefer a more elongated shoe with a narrow/chiseled toe than a very round toe. I ordered about 120$ worth of shoe care yesterday (well shoe trees represent half of that amount) and I can't wait to take care of my shoes for the first time (my collection just started and Thursday boots really was the "gateway drug"). I now have four pair of Thursday boots and 1 pair of Carmina Oxfords. I also ordered three pairs from Thursday New shoe line (loafers, wingtips and a captoe Oxford) and I'll 100% cop another pair of Carmina shoes later this year, probably double monks! This is only the beginning and I think I'll end up being a shoe addict with a wide variety of styles and colorways😂
Great video Jeff!
much appreciated IAMNOT!
Love It!!!
Thanks Katrina!
Cmon og. Your knocking my jeans/sandals game off 😂
all from a place of love! lol
Strictly Magnanni! Great vid!
Thanks Mike!
Me too Magnanni very stylish good quality I go for Magnanni before Allen edmonds anytime
Jos A Bank has good sales on shoes. I picked up a pair of black dress shoes regular price $250 for $80 . That brand and design were changing to the next season design.
I'm sometimes glad that I was born in a country does shoe processing in the 60s, so we got plenty shoe factories that make good quality shoes in a very low price.
Great video
Thanks Rurak!
What do you think of long socks with loafers? It seems to not be generally done, but I don't like my ankles exposed (I get cold) and I also would really like to get a nice pair of penny loafers or tassel loafers.
noting wrong with socks and loafers!
The Style O.G. Thanks for the reply. Salute!
Too boot New York, Allen Edmonds,and Mr Bs
3 good ones Jerry!
Great segment! Leather Honey is absolutely the best leather conditioner... Shoe trees are imperative... Vibram sole savers for all leather soles will extend the life of your high-end shoes exponentially. We all appreciate you my brother. אלוהים יברך אותך
appreciate it Keith!
My Suit Supply dress shoes get white streaks around the toe folds when I start walking. Any pointers?
Blackmans of Cheshire Street, off the Brick Lane, London E1 has been supplying me with Barkers for the last 25 years, at no more than £85 a pair. In about 1994 I first visited them. A 16 year old lad asked me what I was looking for. I explained that (UK) size 9's were generally too tight and 9 1/2's too roomy. After a look at my feet, he told me, "That's because you're a 9 G. " No high street shoe shop had managed that. Been going to them ever since, and that lad, Philip, now runs the store.
What's your opinion on pointy toed dress shoes? I've heard some people definitively say no to them but I've gotten compliments for mine.
not my favorite, but if you like them, do you!
@@TheStyleOG I hate them. Remind me of high heeled shoes. Lol In the ads online, they never look pointy. Till u get them home
Paul Evans, Santoni at the Nordstrom rack, Magnanni, I also like To boot ny but the leather is so soft, if you curb them they’re done.
I’m a big To Boot fan!
Cole Haan and Johnston & Murphy always have great dress shoes at prices under 100$ discounted at Nordstrom Rack.
I personally love my Cole Haan wingtips.
Cole Haan will work!
