  • In this new episode of Sartorial Talks, Hugo speaks, for the first time since the inception of the channel, about sneakers (also known as trainers or tennis shoes depending on the country and the models). He presents his (highly subjective) favourite sneakers' selection and explains why comfort and elegance are not always a dichotomy in our modern world.

    Hi Hugo, your video and reading some of the comments reminded me of an article by Simon Crompton about comfort. It's an excellent and deep thought about the subject. And it led to some of my own thoughts and an experience yesterday that brings it home for me, particularly where shoe are concerned. I think that comfort does not equal softness. They are two different things. I'm quite a fan of the leather sole which feels more comfortable to me than sneaker soles even though they are of course not as soft. I have a pair of Sketchers loafers that I wear at home as slippers. I had to go pick up the dog from the kennel yesterday and accidentally wore them out. I only realised half way there that I forgot to put on my shoes as I realised my feet feel a bit 'funny'. It's not a matter of embarrassment as they're intended to be worn outdoors. The soles are very soft and a little bouncy. By the time I arrived home the soles of my feet were almost numb from the softness. They definitely missed the comfortable grip of my leather soles. Of course I'm not saying there is no place for sneakers ever but on the issue of comfort alone they do not necessarily win over leather shoes.

    Great recommendations Hugo. I would also take a look at Crown Northampton. Unlike many of the artisans here, they are primarily a luxury sneaker maker, though they do have a couple of boots, slippers and shoes.
    They are MTO in the Northampton factory and Goodyear Welted, so they can be returned for resoling.
    Another interesting point about Crown Northampton is that they use Horween leather in some of their sneakers. From chromexcel leather to recently using their shell cordovan, they have excellent quality materials.
    I have a couple of pairs of chromexcel sneakers and they are extremely well made!

    Hugo, I had to stop the video to defend your usage after you were 'corrected' by someone off camera.
    Your 'sneak up to' was absolutely correct. There is a slight difference in nuance and usage between 'sneak up to' and 'sneak up on'.
    I love your shirt by the way. It shows the original seersucker 'milk and sugar' colours, if I am not mistaken. The wide stripes are also quite impressive. I am thinking that I need one like it.

    I agree with you the impact is both ways. For example, as it had been when the chukkas came out from Clarks Shoes. The crepe sole suede leather ankle-high boots was very casual but later other versions with some in far higher quality and much dressier were created. So much of a difference the original chukkas are now also called desert boots and the others are just chukkas.

    @tentimetex Před 2 lety +3

    Hi, i am still young but i have been slowly growing out of sneakers. I completely agree with you from @0:01 to @1:59 that these Mass-brand sneakers have done such a good job of marketing a piece plastic to the youth and selling it for the price of gold. They literally take the same shoe and iterate it in endless colors for which kids pay a fortune because the 'swoosh' is yellow instead of blue. Its ridiculous. When you realize that you have two choices: a piece of plastic and Polyethylene foam, which is assembled by kids in Vietnam, from bad quality cheap pieces, glued together under terrible conditions and in which your feet smell after 15 minutes, compared to a shoe made by craftsmen in Europe, who are paid a living wage, from high quality leather and natural materials such as caoutchouc and which may last a life-time....the choice becomes clear. But it takes maturity. I often pass a sneaker store on my way through town in my fine grain, Italian leather monk straps and smile at the ''young adults'' inside shelling out their savings for a new Star-Wars collaboration Nike Sneaker, because the Swoosh has Darth Vader on it this time. In that moment i feel like a man.

I own 2 pairs of Bally Switzerland and 2 pairs of ETQ Amsterdam, and I used to have a Dolce and Gabbana and Pantofola D'oro. I also have a very special pair of classic Lanvin Cap Toe in the original Black Suede, but due to their fragile nature, I have only worn them twice on very special occasions. All of the pairs have been wonderful.

    I worked for a Wall Street law firm's office here in Los Angeles. On a normal day, we still wore suits with proper formal shoes with the exception of Fridays where we wore business casual (a strict definition either no suit jacket with tie and suit trousers or without tie but with suit jacket and suit trousers) with some form of informal shoes. I've always gotten away with wearing my Lanvin DBB1s with my suits on those days.

    You're right about Herring's transparency. They don't actually say who makes the shoes under their house brand name but you can decipher it by looking at the last shape. For example, I believe the Herring Shakespeare uses the Z160 last so you can figure out that they were made by Carlos Santos!

    Some interesting choices in the selection, Hugo. If I may be so bold, I would suggest that you've missed probably the best "casual" sneaker brand out there, Crown Northampton. As the name of the brand suggests, Northampton made, with some unusual features. They offer some very high quality leathers (Horween & C.F Stead), including kudu & deer suedes, buffalo, and shell cordovan. One of their styles, the Upton, is a wholecut sneaker - possibly the first sneaker I would describe as Elegant...
    Worth a look at least.

That to me was the true beginning of the luxury sneaker and to this day, an unmistakeable classic. Cheers!

    Some years ago I all of a sudden found sneakers(and my own way of dressing) to be too immature and it prompted me to both get into leather shoes and dressing batter.

    Extrapolating that process out, how will old Naples, old tie makers, artisan shirt makers and others respond by modernizing their designs? Or will they? There must, I guess, be room on both sides. Sneakers prove the point. Thank you. Nikki

  • @TeslaRules1856

    Take traditional GYW Calfskin dress shoe. Then take the traditional low rise court shoe. There is a wide series steps in design down or up. For example - I take an oxford or derbie with a leather sole, then change to dainite sole, then change to black gumlite sole (comfort type sole), etc... or take a white canvas sneaker, then add white leather, then change to brown calf leather, then change the white sole to black sole, then use a blake stitch .... So you see at some point you can find a vast spectrum of variations. I have two pair of calf skin dress shoes where most people would be hard pressed to notice (at first) that they are in fact built on sneaker foundation construction.

    I bought a pair of Allen Edmonds Canal Court sneakers in brown suede last year. They fit that niche for a look and comfort level when dress shoes are too much, but boat shoes or espadrilles are not enough. Comfortable and stylish for backyard brunches or patio cocktails in the afternoon. With shorts, jeans, chinos and other less formal pants.
    The latest trend is the hybrid sneaker/dress shoe, and I do not like them. As I see it, if the occasion is casual enough for a white sole, just wear sneakers.

    The good news with sneakers is that more elegant options are becoming available and that they can spare your more expensive leather-soled shoes from a lot of daily wear-and-tear walking the dogs, etc. The bad news with sneakers is that the rubber technology hasn't improved much and that, since the rubber is not designed to be resoled, must be replaced every year to avoid gradual injury. A great solution is the suede Geller Trainer by Beckett Simonon. It is cheap enough to replace every year or sooner as the rubber wears out. It is also very elegant being a whole-cut suede shoe. For more convenience and elegance, try pairing them with no-tie elastic Straight Laces.

    Any thoughts on the Crown Northampton sneakers? They appear to be well-constructed. Thank you for making this video. I would love to see a short video on footwear for wide feet, I rarely see fine men's shoes or sneakers in 4E extra wide widths.

    I have always found myself breaking the rules a lot. What I mean by that is that I love to make the most of clothing, and so you would find me wearing all of my made-to-measure garments both with dress shoes, dress shirts and ties as well as t-shirts, sweaters and sneakers. One thing that is non-negotiable is that, regardless of footwear, I never leave the house without a pocket square. A suit or sports coat with sneakers looks so naked without one.

    A little late to this video but Reebok actually sell their legacy trainers from past decades. The ones that your father wore were probably the Club C85 tennis shoes which are still made with leather (even full grain leather in a couple of models) despite their low price.
    The Loake Sprint are IMHO the best Loake sneakers and they are made in India where Loake has a factory, rather than England or Portugal

      If you are poolside or at the beach, be brave and wear the speedo or board shorts. Anywhere else at the resort like a stroll through the promenades, shopping, or walking the beach at night, wear khakis or slacks. Dinner or anything with dark lighting or anything formal, wear a suit.
