These have been in process a long time. @flamepanda11 (IG)or Peng is a shoemaker out of China with a pretty strong following in the boot scene. I was lucky enough that he agreed to make a field boot for me, even though I’ve never seen one made by him before. I’m super excited and he even included a pair of cloth shoes for me. So super excited to try these out and report back. More to follow. I ...

Handwelted Shoe Review: Suede Aurora by Blkbrd Shoemaker
Would you really call shoes “investment” does not sound quite right. Beautiful shoes though :) am hoping to get my hand on one soon
Rose Anvil
First the amazing Scafora black oxfords and now a true bespoke pair by Daniel Wegan - You are living the shoe life my friend!!
Museum pieces. Love the style, cut, color and material combination.
Hello, been following your channel for a while now. I was wondering if you can assist with a cheap alternative for paraboot avignon drrby shoe.
I’ve never seen a style on par with the Avignon from another brand. The look is pretty unique. Split toes in general are available from CNES, Meermin, Finnsbury (if you’re looking for French alternatives) or Orban’s.
I cant decide if the M reminds me of McDonalds or a particular body area as Im too distracted by the pair of boobs above the M - oversharing? :)
You are UNSTOPPABLE!! Scafora makes absolutely lovely shoes but your new pair is completely next level. I'm pretty familiar with most of your collection. In my opinion these wingtips are something really special. I haven't seen a shoe unboxing of something of this caliber in quite some time. Very nicely done! Wear those in good health!!
What shoe trees do you use
Standard Meermin or I get boss boot trees from woodlore. I rotate them.
Thank you! Just got my first shell boots from meermin after watching some of your vids. @@wishoeguy
@alexwyee99 awesome. Let me know what you think!
I envy you, sir! ❤
AMAZING !
nice but what about color? if you forget place for exact polisher you need to check all. looking Nice but usability (((
Brillinat patina and color combo.
Brillant video, by the way, I was wondering how the process of your Catella shoes is?
We’ve done four fittings in person after the initial measurement. Now I’m waiting.
@@wishoeguy greaaaat, i'm very looking forward to your video unboxing that pair of shoes
Hi, do you stay the same size for your dover?
I have one the same size and one a size lower. I’m between a 9.5 and 10UK and both fit ok.
Great review
that is a piece of art. Nice.
When mine go in for the resole, they are getting the black soles. Then nobody will know that I'm wearing a sneaker.
Is the Adelaide leather camel or peccary?
Camel.
@@wishoeguy wear it in best of health
Ooolala
Great video! I own a pair of scotch grain NSTs by Carmina in a dark brown, and I’m looking to get some black Alden NSTs. I do love Alden’s color 8, but do you think the markup for the Cordovan 2211 is worth it vs. the 961 calfskin version?
It’s a tough question. Many speak very highly of Alden shell but I wasn’t impressed. I felt the quality was more on the Meermin standard than the Allen Edmonds.
@@wishoeguy Thanks for the reply and info! I also own a pair of AE Randolph loafers in a black cordovan, which are great. However, I honestly find cordovan a little less impressive in black in comparison to brown/color 8.
Beautiful illustration. Thank you
are these Tan Hatch?
Bought them and returned. $2650 was just not reflected in the product. Fudging errors. Loose threads. The C&J Perth is an imitator that might just have bested the original design at only $1090.
That’s a grand more than mine and I didn’t expect fudging. Sorry for your experience that stinks.
For you’re size 10 shoe what size did you get you’re Woodlore shoe tree?
I have l and xl. Both are fine. Most L are too loose and ineffective. I used to worry until I had hinge trees. They’re tight.
The reason I ask is because you and I have the same shoes size so should I exchange them for the XL?
@davidph123 I’m a 10.5 and used to be wide. The recommend going up a size when they’re wide. If you’re a 10 they may be tight enough. Does the tree stretch the heel and help with the toe spring? If not it’s too small.
@@wishoeguy I feel it fits but there’s no pressure on the heel or stretching
Mine fell apart. These boots aren’t worth $200 let alone $700. Another brand trading on its pop culture appeal in a cynical cash grab while abandoning all self respect and quality. Don’t do it sheep! You fan girls can buy $150 knocks off if you must go to your cosplay conventions.
Preadeep and Sandeep are lovely people and very open to feedback in my experience with them and their brand BLKBRD. They offer a wide variety of shoes and boots all at incredible value. I also do not like the cushy insole. I dont mind makers who include it as an option (Blazing Wonders and Cru do this) as a way to help refine the fit. Blkbrd makes it standard. You get what you pay for. So you can't expect ACME finish at a $300 price point. What you get is a really nice pair of shoes. I presonally had fit issues across the 2 pair of oxfords I've ordered. Too tight with the insole and too big without. And even if they fit w/o the insole, the footbed would be without any think leather and just be rough. I did have better luck with a chukka boot I have from them. I think BLKBRD is a much better choice than other brands in this price range ( AE and Meemin) and most of their shoes are hand welted. If I was to give advice to BLKBRD I would say to dratically reduce the number of models and up the attention to detail on what they deliver. The owners are great people and I look forward to seeing the brand evlve and grow.
Hola. Tengo un par Oxford en la suela Forest UK8 que me resultan muy cómodos y amplios del frente aunque ligeramente apretados del empeine. Planeo comprar un par de Derbys en la suela Detroit, he escuchado que es mas amplia, me recomendarias la talla UK 7.5 o seguir con la UK8? Tengo miedo que se me vean muy grandes.
I have the Alden 2210, BEAUTIFUL AND WELL CRAFTED SHOES, actually my 1st pair of Aldens
Beautiful pair
You have a Rolex and I know you have some other nice watches, can you make a small watch content, maybe how you pair them with your shoes? lol I know I’m reaching
I’m happy to. I’ll think about how to pull it together.
Which target audience do you have in mind combining this music and these shoes….
was thinking the same LOL
love the shoes tho<3
@@garonhutchins1245 yeah but it’s just so dumb trying make make TikTok videos out of it
YT Reels are really a different audience than the videos, so when I release them I usually try to set to music so it catches that audience attention. I’m not on TikTok but am on IG and I use the reels the same way. I think both young and old audiences are into shoes so I look for music related to the shoe (name in the title, artist, etc) or focus on a particular genre. Right now I’m focused on 80s mostly.
В Ж их себе засунь.
Many would consider China hostile to the USA. Do you take such matters into consideration when buying/promoting?
Absolutely not. I focus on craftsmanship and education, not politics.
@@wishoeguy Ethics not politics could be another way - putting the craftsmanship to one side, which its undeniably good
Classy response to a dumb question 👏@@wishoeguy
Very awesome, thanks!
Great video. Both shoes are beautiful
Both shoes are super nice. That whole cut is top shelf, for sure.
Both are works of art. The wholecut looks as though it is ready for a competition. Thanks for sharing!
how do this compare to the trickers robert
These are lined whereas my Robert was unlined. They also had rubber soles compared to Robert’s leather. That said the quality of the shoes is very similar. trickers stitch density is more open than CJ which to me means they’re looking for a less refined aesthetic but the quality is there by every measure. Absolute gems to wear.
@@wishoeguy i ask because i just got my pair of robert and wondering now if i shoulda waited for this instead
@davidph123 they’re both great but if you got a pair you love I’m sure it’s fine. There are so many choices on the Robert, CJ only has a couple options.
@@wishoeguy ok thanks
I love navy shoes but it's obscenly hard to find polish for them
Just use black in a pinch.
Saphir has a good one, found it on Amazon
For $2500, you would think the entire shoe would be handmade. I love all the photos I see of YF and would love to see a pair in person.
It’s an option to have hand stitched soles. It’s all about choice. He’s already delivering better stitch density with a machine than most by hand, but for the aficionado they’ll do what you want.
@@wishoeguy And for more $$. 🙂
How would you compare these to the Crockett and Jones Lanark 3
I tried Fugashin and was dissapointed. For the price I guess they are OK. I wanted to love the shoes and didn't so I sold them.
I eventually donated these to the Goodwill community.
Great recap. Thanks! Btw what brand of chinos are you wearing? They look great with your shoes. Cheers!
These are custom from Indochino.
I’ll check them out. Thanks!
Most of Altan's shoes are blake construction, including this model. And I LOVE their patina work. It is amazing that you can pick your patina choice when ordering. They will let you choose about any paitna you want including ones not listed in the drop down menu. My issue with Altan is they are charging a very PREMIUM price for Blake construction. IMHO, their pricing woud be fair if their shoes were goodyear welted. I've owned two different Altan shoes (one I sold and the other is up for sale) and both were beautiful. They absolutley NAIL design. Price aside, Altan shoes are a work of art and I'll consider them in the future.
Tier one vs Tier 2?
You Just Don’t Stop!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Please can you do a video comparing the Brunswick and Moore, i believe they offer the moore in burgundy too. Many thanks
Everything about them is nearly alike. Same last. Only difference is the diamond brogue on the Brunswick. The lining is also a different color but it doesn’t have the handgrade sole. With new orders I believe you can customize quite a bit on either.
Sick!!
