The hollow in the heel is simply a material saver. Having worked in plastics for years, I see it a lot. Typically material cost for rubber and/or plastic is about 35% of sales price, so anything to reduce amount of material used is critical for profitability.
When I was in the military, my lieutenant shared a word of wisdom: "out of all your clothes buy the best shoes that you can afford". Although I was young and didn't realize why it was so important, I respected my commander and I listened to his opinion.
Having owned both cemented rubber soled dress shoes and leather soled dress shoes, I can strongly state my preference for leather soles due to the added stiffness and durability. But those dense soles didn't look too shabby, nice find.
Great video I get my shoes for around the $150 to $200 mark and they've lasted me nearly five years now I think its safe to say for anything under $100 you just can't get much in the way of quality but there are shoes out there for around the $200 mark, even a little cheaper
One of the first things a lot of women look at is always your shoes. Specifically, how clean they are. This can be a make or break. It can ruin your outfit just as well as complete it. So don’t cheap out. Get quality shoes and get a shoe cleaner with them.
@@RealMenRealStyle Man, I love the videos you've been releasing! Also, how engaging you are with your audience. I've been making videos for a while now, I get a lot of comments saying I should have more subscribers, how do you suggest I get in front of more people?
I've built up a very nice wardrobe over time by always searching for deals. End of season clearance, holidays, etc. I don't have any very expensive clothes, but I have clothes and shows of respectable quality that I've gotten for much cheaper prices. Best deal I ever got was a $150 pair of Chukka boots on Black Friday for $12.50. Still some of my favorite boots to this day because they look great and they're incredibly comfortable.
Can we get an update on this concept? It seems like Scarpazzo is currently sold out, and I don't know that they have any physical locations (for those who maybe can only visit in person). Regardless, I would love to know of the best brands/shoes that strike a good balance of price (under $100) and quality nowadays.
I personally like to go with vintage shoes, most have gone through the break in period and have amazing uppers often all that is needed is a good shine or a resole
Uk, i remember my first pair of dress shoes. Wolverine Worldwide Black Oxfords, got them brand new in box about 10 years ago for my ROTC class in HS from my Teacher. I shined them well, and took decent care of them. I would wear them for uniform days, parades, and then after High School, any time i needed to wear a suit. My only regret? Not using a Shoe Tree to store them and avoid massive creasing, which over time affected the pair. Theyre still wearable but are creased to hell and i am now looking to buy a new pair, preferably from the same manufacturer.
Antonio, i think i ve learned a lot more in each of your videos than in most hour long online classes i ve been in since covid. Like jeff og style... Salute!
Guys, entry level Goodyear Welted shoes don't have to be 300 plus dollars. Check out Orban's. 160€ for a pair of GYW shoes. They aren't the best of the best as you get what you pay for, but its a good alternative to cemented shoes.
I love this video! Humor is a good tool for learning in my world. I have flat feet and a terrible time finding shoes that are comfy. Thanks for the heads up Antonio.
Hi Antonio, I've looked in Amazon and can't seem to locate any Scarpazzo dress shoes. Could you provide any links for buying the shoes. I'm really impressed with the quality of leather shoes for the price. Thank you and I really enjoy all your style videos. Very informative for mens style!
I recently bought a pair of Carlos Santana Oxford Shoes made out of Calfskin Upper Leather, Blake Stitched, for $112. Any thoughts on these shoes? Are they considered a quality pair?
I have a pair of the Carlos Santana Woodstock Cap Toe Oxfords that I for on sale for $120. Goodyear welted, with supple uppers. They run a bit small, but it was nothing two days on a stretcher couldn't solve.
Well, this time i have to disagree Antonio 😅 there's no way i would buy a cemented dress shoes anymore.. I had bad experiences (yes, plural!) with them 🙃 Perhaps it's just my bad luck, but i used to have 2 pairs of cemented shoes (a blue suede penny loafers, and a black cap toe oxford) which cost me around that price point (i'm an indonesian, they cost 1.100.000 and 1.300.000 IDR, and based on the exchange rate 2 years ago i believe it's a little under 100 USD) It took less than six months for them to practically disintegrate 🙃 the outsole of the oxford got detached from the upper after just 3 months AT MY GRADUATION! I couldn't begin to tell you how embarassed i was, being photographed on the stage with one shoe without an outsole 🙃 And 2 months later, the outsole of my left penny loafer also got detached from its upper, when i was on my way to a case presentation, so yeah, i once again had to endure the embarassment of presenting my case with a lopsided shoes 😂 Perhaps it's just me buying an overpriced crap or whatever, but there's no way i'll ever buy a cemented shoes anymore (apart from running shoes ofc). I mean, these days you can get shoes with better construction by spending not so much more money, so why buy a cemented ones? They're unsustainable (since they're not resolable), and (if you're unlucky enough like me) would risk you the embarassment like what i experienced 🙃 Great video though, cheers!
A very, VERY valuable video. Thank you Antonio. I've been wondering if there were any good quality dress shoes for under $150. By the way...f.y.i...the way to pronounce it is "scar POT so". (I'm related to Italians who speak the language.) Zz in italian is always pronounced like the "ts" as in "pizza". Keep up the excellent work my friend.
Just received my shoes from Scarpozzo...the shoes look great! But on closer inspection, the mid-sole was sticking way out from the upper & the sole...only on 1 of the shoes...I'm am returning them...getting another pair...your coupon code is no longer valid for me I guess...😒
I need a plug from Mexico. anyway we can meet in a clandestine location. Maybe a park bench in Texas. You looking one way, me another. We hash out a deal. Of course never making eye contact. I drop $60 on the floor. You leave the shoes on the bench and walk away. I come home to a pair of crisp Mexican leather shoes?
Actually, looks like wood. So it'll split when a cobbler tries to replace it. These are one-year shoes, tops. Better off with lightly used better shoes.
Antonio. Per your older video I bought Beckett Simonon and really like the detail and quality. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a reasonably priced shoe with exceptional quality. Also I like your jacket
I'm guessing these are probably on par with the shoes from brands Mercanti Fiorentini and Massimo Matteo (DSW and Zappos’ house brands, respectively). Decent style and decent-quality materials but with cemented construction, basically. But seeing as the latter two are priced at around $130-$160, and these are under $100... they might be a pretty good value. Especially if on a tight budget.
can you find it at local store , no , so no mater how good it is ,if you can not try it don t buy it , the only thing you can buy on line is belt ,tie , soks ,
My local ALDO store was closing down going out business so I got me two pairs leather dress (Oxford) shoes for $40 a pair..and a pair of Chelsea's for $60 bucks...amazing deal.
What I know is a shoe should cost less than $10 or around $200(even more) get a super cheap ones($5-$10) made of plastic or rubber or anything else to try out a new style donate them to someone in need and if you liked the design get a quality pair
what do you think about the shoes from goodwin smith? they have some out there styles but classics as well. they are mostly under 100$, and for that i think they're fine.
Now I'm in a dilemma. After watching your previous videos, I had decided I'm only going to buy stitched dress shoes (and boots) from since a year ago. But after seeing this video... these shoes do look good and of quality for $100.
Gran Par Varonte Shoes You're welcome, hand made in León, GT Mexico 🇲🇽. Remember other countries have a cheaper labor and production. So, answer is: Don't Buy Cheap. Buy Fancy, BUT abroad less expensive fancy. PS Thailand is another great country to buy from.
Why purchasing a cheap pair of glued soles shoes when you can get a nice second hand pair of Alden, Church's or many more great luxury brands for the same price?
And these shoes have completely sold out of their first production. You literally have to sign up to get on the waiting list for the second production. Must be the real deal
@@RealMenRealStyle it's a Cerruti CRA180 chronograph with the metal strap. not much of a name, but it's so simple, yet the class is perfectly there. I also rock my old Diesel chronograph (leather strap), which was a gift to me back in highschool. Now, Im a few years to my MD. maybe i could afford to invest in a better one by then Haha
Awesome content man, I really want to learn about types of diving and aviation watches I should invest in because I work in both of those fields. Please I request a video on those thank you.
Hey Antonio not sure if you saw my sport coat comment on the previous video but I'll try to clarify it. Basically so patterns don't clash most of my dress shirts will be solids with 1 that is a dark Navy Floral pattern do you think for that shirt in particular I can get 1 solid Navy Blue for the minimal collection? I'm not sure if a majority of patterned sport coats would really go with a Floral but they pair easily with solids. Hope my comment isn't confusing to understand.
@@RealMenRealStyle Absolutely I agree with you. I think since I still plan for a minimal wardrobe it will be 3 jackets to start off. It can be a solid Navy Blue and the other 2 can be one of the varieties of patterns that you previously discussed. Yeah I fear that a Floral Dress shirt would clash with checks and other patterns on the jackets you discussed so I think what I just explained is the perfect compromise. Who knows maybe instead of Navy I can even find a maroon colored jacket to go with the Floral but that might be too flashy. Great content!
@@Manuel421 For the first two jackets I'd buy a basic but versatile blue and grey solids. Matches almost anything. For the next two I'd buy for season, one for spring+summer and one for fall+winter. Also, a jacket is a longterm investment. Buy shirts to match your jacket, not the other way around.
@@alfacentauri3686 Yes that's what I meant definitely I want my shirts to go with all jackets. I just wasn't sure if a floral can go with a patterned jacket but I suppose it probably can if it's not too loud like Antonio said. I'll keep all your info in mind I appreciate the input. Also my Floral is a darker shade therefore I prefer to wear it during the colder months instead of Hot. I believe a navy or some blue or grey solid would definitely go with it I agree with you.
Looks like the pair you tried on to review is the dark brown, which starting at 2:17 already has some ugly creasing across the vamp and into the cap toe after what I assume is very minimal wear, given that you mention it was just a week ago that Scarpazzo reached out to you. Even for $100 I would not expect genuine leather (not even corrected grain) to show that manner of creasing, that looks like the creasing I see on PU leather or similar imitation leather after only a few hours of wear. I don't doubt it is real leather as described, but the leather quality is just not apparent, if that's how they look after only hours of wearing I imagine after a couple months of rotation they're going to look hideous. Hopefully I'm wrong. The rest of the shoe construction does look durable though, but personally I think that's irrelevant if the leather appearance deteriorates long before the rest of the shoe and they end up unpresentable even for casual wear. I say that from personal experience having thrown out shoes before with 80% life left in the heel and soles, but the uppers looking so unsightly that I can't stand wearing them for anything other than taking out the trash and checking the mail (and yes that's even after consistently using shoe trees).
I don't see the point. I bought sub 100 dollar shoes for years but a few years ago realized that the quality / price sweet spot is a lot closer to 200. A few years back you were recommending one of the brands I settled on, Acemark's. They are solid shoes, made with high quality leather upper and leather sole using a Blake stitch. I would destroy the cheaper shoes within a year or two...but a good quality shoe can last for decades. I bought 14 pair in different styles , needless to say I'll probably be dead before I wear them all but I don't ever have to worry about buying a new pair of dress shoes!
But Antonio there are many brands in India that are under 7k (100 $) ,that are stiched ,made of leather, tpr sole(not leather sole), that Last years. So why we should pay 14k ,23k(200$,300$)?
Yes there's a price difference he's talking about US prices, you're taking 100$ literally. Think of it in Indian terms as buying a good shoe below 2-3000 Rs. Main thing is pay attention to the quality markers.
Maaan I really want to get a pair of ace marks but they are a little pricey. Funny I say that even though I’m thinking about saving up for a Monta. Maybe after that a pair of ace marks will be a smaller blow hahah.
@@RealMenRealStyle Not sure I’ll get a pair to be honest with ya. I already own a pair of oxblood derbies and don’t need something as formal as an Oxford yet. Would love if they had some double monks though
The sad part is how so many men go for the cheapest shoe option, and don't invest in dress shoes as the foundational pieces they are. You can get away with a cheap suit, but EVERYONE looks at your feet: shoes that are glued vs. stitched make the biggest difference. If you invest in $150-$300 shoes just once, they will live beyond you with regular maintenance and resoles. But a cheap suit/slacks + cheap dress shoes mentality = I really don't care about how I look.

Hi there
As of 7-2024 Scarpazzo cannot be found on Amazon.
Good review. Will have a look at the shoes
You can buy them in Bangladesh only 15-20 dollars and best of them in 40 dollars.
I've been waiting for this video for a long time! Great stuff Antonio!!
Bruh my oxford is still rocking and wanna know how much it cost
Less than 20 dollars 🙂
Best feeling is having a fresh pair of leathers!
It sure is. 😍
Great, very informative new product video.
Sold!
Hi Rick
There are many talented Indonesian shoemaker that can build awesome goodyear welt shoes for around $100+ using horween leather
The spongebob reference 🤣!
Love the video
Amazing work
Thanks Arslan! I appreciate you.
4:14 I am sure this will be a very useful tip
I just watched a 12 min ad lol
Look like great shoes, but they stop at size 12, I wear 13 or 14. But great video as always.
Yeah, just saw that myself. No one's looking out for us large footed folks.
That intro got me ded xD
Those look like some damn good shoes
Looks like the pair you tried on to review is the dark brown, which starting at 2:17 already has some ugly creasing across the vamp and into the cap toe after what I assume is very minimal wear, given that you mention it was just a week ago that Scarpazzo reached out to you. Even for $100 I would not expect genuine leather (not even corrected grain) to show that manner of creasing, that looks like the creasing I see on PU leather or similar imitation leather after only a few hours of wear. I don't doubt it is real leather as described, but the leather quality is just not apparent, if that's how they look after only hours of wearing I imagine after a couple months of rotation they're going to look hideous.
Hopefully I'm wrong. The rest of the shoe construction does look durable though, but personally I think that's irrelevant if the leather appearance deteriorates long before the rest of the shoe and they end up unpresentable even for casual wear. I say that from personal experience having thrown out shoes before with 80% life left in the heel and soles, but the uppers looking so unsightly that I can't stand wearing them for anything other than taking out the trash and checking the mail (and yes that's even after consistently using shoe trees).
Looks like a solid show for 100 bux!

I don't see the point. I bought sub 100 dollar shoes for years but a few years ago realized that the quality / price sweet spot is a lot closer to 200.
A few years back you were recommending one of the brands I settled on, Acemark's. They are solid shoes, made with high quality leather upper and leather sole using a Blake stitch.
I would destroy the cheaper shoes within a year or two...but a good quality shoe can last for decades.
I bought 14 pair in different styles , needless to say I'll probably be dead before I wear them all but I don't ever have to worry about buying a new pair of dress shoes!
But Antonio there are many brands in India that are under 7k (100 $) ,that are stiched ,made of leather, tpr sole(not leather sole), that Last years.
So why we should pay 14k ,23k(200$,300$)?
Yes there's a price difference he's talking about US prices, you're taking 100$ literally. Think of it in Indian terms as buying a good shoe below 2-3000 Rs. Main thing is pay attention to the quality markers.
If only they made wide widths for those of us with hobbit feet.
Maaan I really want to get a pair of ace marks but they are a little pricey. Funny I say that even though I’m thinking about saving up for a Monta. Maybe after that a pair of ace marks will be a smaller blow hahah.
Hey Dustin - Let me know what you think of Scarpazzo :)
@@RealMenRealStyle Not sure I’ll get a pair to be honest with ya. I already own a pair of oxblood derbies and don’t need something as formal as an Oxford yet. Would love if they had some double monks though
The sad part is how so many men go for the cheapest shoe option, and don't invest in dress shoes as the foundational pieces they are. You can get away with a cheap suit, but EVERYONE looks at your feet: shoes that are glued vs. stitched make the biggest difference. If you invest in $150-$300 shoes just once, they will live beyond you with regular maintenance and resoles. But a cheap suit/slacks + cheap dress shoes mentality = I really don't care about how I look.
