    Hello Brent! I am happy to see you made the follow up to the Koio video you made comparing the old vs new. Since then it's crazy that i have bought so many of these sneakers (Koio, Oliver Cabell, Thursday, Common Projects, and Greats Royale.) Back then when I didn't had any of them i really wanted ones with that Margom sole that everyone talked so highly about. Now pretty much almost all of them have that Margom sole and to my surprise it's actually not that comfortable. It's hard and stiff, maybe with more wearings it will get better but as of now it's not as comfortable as I hoped for. After experiencing it I remembered when Koio wrote their statement on why they changed their soles, and I also thought it was only because of more $$. But when i used my Thursday sneakers i couldn't help the fact that they were more comfortable than my Margom sole sneakers. I was in denial at first but the feet don't lie. So then i thought, hmmm, so is that new Koio sole more comfortable (not better, but more comfy) than the OG Margom? Now I'm here and you kind of confirmed it 😅. Margom is great but i will for sure be on the look out for the 2nd Gen Koios and test them myself. Thanks for the follow up video. I really enjoyed it 👌

    I can attest to what you’re saying about these new models because I own two pairs myself (onyx & pebble). I know you said the stitching has stayed in place but at 6:25 I’m seeing either the stitching on the rubber sole becoming loose or the stitching missed the proper patern around the toe-box. Can you shed some light on what I’m seeing?

I really love the cooler colorways and variety of Oliver Cabell but i've seen a lot of horror stories about Oliver Cabell customer service and that might make me forgo the cool designs and colorways and opt for Koio instead.

      Bro you are so pressed over someone’s opinion on jeans. The average consumer isn’t going to like anything over 16oz. I know this because I worked high end retail for over 5 years. And the fit range I provided has historically stood up to “trends” in style not function. I am talking about general styles to the average consumer not to denim heads.

      @@Brent_Fiore nice, my first raw selvedge pair was the 20 oz secret 288zr. They were too big for me when I lost some weight so I had to sell them. I picked up the 222 super wide last fall and I wear them all the time, they're very comfortable and easy to style, love that hairy texture too. I got the Sugarcane Hawaii at the same time but the 222 gets all my attention. Maybe the Hawaii will shine during summer with lighter/smaller tops.

    My coworker wore this two weeks ago, and I asked her what is it, she got it off of scentbird via her sister. I asked cuz I thought it smelled like tobacco vanilla from tom Ford. TF tv is one of my signature scent. She normally wears grocery store perfume to the point of offence. I asked quickly, as it was an event at work. It is nearly TF TV. It would be a good value...I was curious as how she aquired it, it smells and spills like Tom Ford tobacco Vanille with a small earth spice. Nearly to the point that I asked. I feel it's a very good and accurate dupe. I smelled it in the morning and as it wore. I have a good nose and this was the most accurate depiction.

    Reviewing boots you can’t wear because they’re the wrong size is pointless. $189 on sale now for a handmade boot is one of the best deals on the market.

      It’s not that they do not fit me they are just tight. I can come to a good conclusion knowing about the shoe, having them in hand, feeling them, and looking at them. I spent 5 years in the high end shoe industry. I am well versed. And for the money are okay. My opinion is just to put that money toward a better shoe. And yes they are “hand made” but not in a region or country known for boots. Just cuz something is “hand made” doesn’t make them good. Thanks for your thoughts!

    Leather soles are cool IMO....every other boot in the world has rubber soles, think I'll get these for a little sole diversity. 🤣

      To each their own. The leather doesn’t do well in MN winters, I’ll stick with rubber.

    Help please! I don’t have any other boots to compare so I check some of my shoes: DC skateboard 9.5 US (I sized the Sole Length, is 29cm) Converse 8.5 US (I sized the Sole Lenght, is 30cm) I sized my foot and is 27cm. so it make sense buy 41 or 42 from FTF?

      It’s slightly different if you compare them next to each other.

    I have a pair of Dowler boots in pull up leather (with the rubber sole). I couldn't be happier with them. My foot is between 9 1/2 to 10, and little on the wide side. I went with a size 10 (BS doesn't do E+ widths) and they fit very well. My heel is locked in but not pinched, and the toe box provides plenty of room. Break in time was minimal, too. I think your review is spot on. This was my first pair of boots. Boot heads notice them. They have a more narrow, almond (read: European) shape, and they definitely stand out to folks who know, y'know? With that said, they are my first pair of boots. I will probably move on to a different company for pair #2. Thanks for the honest review.

      I wouldn’t say thicker but maybe a bit more comfortable. Via cushion on the inside

    Hey how have these loafers held up? Do you think these are appropriate as spring/summer loafers? I love the height but don't want to look silly wearing them during hotter weather in NYC

      I think those are great year round if you get them in a smooth or pebbled leather. The suede is a little more cold weather vibes but still works all year.
