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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.
