I don't have the money to buy these top world class shoes but Hugo and Sonya taught me how a really good shoe looks like. I bought my first pair of Oxfords one month ago. Without these people I would continue without even know the importance of knowing this.
I waited 3 minutes as I didn't want to appear too excited. T.I.G. book (beautiful quality btw) arrived very recently but I still haven't found where the thumbs up button is!!
I'm about to order my second Mario Bember MTM for my wedding in August. They will be black loafers under a deep blue pinstripe DB (6x2) suit. My first pair were Burgundy Boots and I'm very happy with them! Thank you very much for your tip in "The Italian Gentleman"!
Hugo, your Mario Bemer Cap Toe Oxfords are exquisite...!! I love the burgundy too, such versatile colour with a beautiful chisel toe design and brogue accents. They remind me very much of the only pair of John Lob's that I have owned! Unfortunately they were taken from me when my case was stolen on a trip to one of the African nations! Your tastes in bespoke are a true reflection of the craftsmanship of the artisans who create such truly spectacular pieces of bespoke footwear and clothing! Absolutely love your collection...!!
Hugo, you should do a Sartorial Talk on boots! You mentioned the high boots by Stivaleria Savoia you are having made. I have always wondered how these types of boots can be worn without looking absurd or being too feminine. I live in a cold climate, and taller boots would be perfect for the winter months.
Hugo, you inspired me. Last year I purchased my first pair of Goodyear welted shoes. A bit embarrassing to admit, but I just didn't know anything or think much about shoes until I started watching you and Sonia. Merci!
Dear Hugo, I have seen many other shoe/suit/etc blogs of JF, Kirby, Vladimir etc etc etc - they are v.good but YOU ARE EASILY THE BEST. Your knowledge, experience, network & ATTITUDE makes your blogs V.V GRIPPING + V.V.ADDICTIVE. I have learnt (& thoroughly enjoyed) A LOT from your blogs. MUCH RESPECT. Rgds, David Sengupta
How am I not supposed to love an enlightening video about shoes like this... This is a mix of expert knowledge, brilliance and style flowing from the fountain of Master Hugo. I remain your humble student forever at thy feet.
Congratulations on such beautiful shoe collection, this is something that requires patience , means and then more patient. But appreciation of what has being created by an artist for one"s unique anatomy is perhaps the most important aspect of this subject. And, it never ends for there is always the next !!!. Thank you.
You Pronounced Snoqualmie perfectly, It is a native american tribal name in the Pacific Northwest. (U.S.) it is also the name of a river and falls there. J Fitzpatrick named many of his shoes after places in the Seattle region of the Pacific Northwest.
Once again, thank you for sharing this exquisite insight into high end bespoke shoes. If it's not too much to ask, I am sure many others may agree too, I would like to see these shoes being paired with clothes. With patinas and colors like that I really wonder how or what 'you' would dress it with. Merci d'avance!
This video and part 1 were wonderful. What caught my eye (in addition to the shoes) was your pant hem at 1:42 when you showed the Mario Bemer burgundy shoes. I have never seen a pant hemmed like this with a small slit on the side. Tres chic!
I was in grave distress when I discovered that my fiancée purchased two pairs of Corthay Arca’s! His sartorial habits are eating into our upcoming Parisian getaway.....however, he does look quite Refined in them~
I'm a big fan of Cie on aliexpress. For £150 they make a shoe to order with hidden goodyear welting, whatever painted patina you ask for, using imported full/top grain italian calf leather or crocodile/ostrich if you wish (£300+). Far superior specification and price to even Meermin. I hope you consider trying them out and doing a video on them.
@@SARTORIALTALKS thanks Hugo. Would be interesting to see a critical view of how far they fall short of the higher end shoes of which I am not in possession of. I don't have the balls to buy green painted patina on anything >£200, yet I wanted something outrageous and also nice quality.
I am a Seattle native and can enlighten you, a little. Snoqualmie is a mountainous area in the USA, in Washington State. Snoqualmie Pass is the place where most people cross the Cascade Mountains to get to and from the Greater Seattle Area. It is also one of the places we go to experience nature. Very majestic, inspiring landscapes: big pines and rocky slopes. Everything feels wild and regal and on a slightly grander scale.
Thank you for the insight & for once again allowing us to step into your world! The stitching on the Stephane Jimenez shoes is absolutely beautiful! the contrasting white on the quarter is to die for! I confess, I too would love a nice loafer, but on me, they always look like a pair of slippers. The only way I could possibly get away with a pair is to maybe wear them with a smoking jacket whilst carrying a nice glass of wine. Perhaps something to try! Finally, a thought for your next pair perhaps: I couldn't help thinking that when you see the Stephane Jimenez first appear at 20:21 the contrast between white and black, that perhaps there would be an option to expand the collection with a contrasting pair where for example the toe extending to the quarter is done with a gold to rich brown patina similar to your Norman Vilalta Deacon boot, and then a contrast on the quarter in a slightly darker shade. It could also be done with the burgundy, but it would need to be a subtle contrast to avoid them looking like spectators. Apologies for the lengthy comment, when I feel inspired I think aloud and type too much haha.
Thank you Ian for your comment and for your interesting suggestions concerning my project with Stephane. Actually what you saw is just a prototype (we say a "pied-modèle" in French) and we did not discuss the colour neither the leather. All my best, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Ahh, thank you Hugo. I was imagining they will come to you in all black. Now I have an extra reason to look forward to their arrival episode!
After watching this video about your shoe collection I am contemplating whether it is better to eat food or to wear beautiful shoes. And beautiful shoes keeps winning! Shoes are a direct reflection of one's mental state -- playful, formal, daring, unabashedly conservative, avant garde, etc. -- and thus are a window to the sole (pardon the pun)! Hugo, I cannot imagine what it must be like to be your feet!! Ha!! Je vous souhaite un plein succès dans vos entreprises futures!
Quelle collection, bon Dieu...Que des pièces uniques. Des vraies œuvres d'arts. Bravo aux artistes géniteurs de ces souliers. Comme vous, je suis aussi fier d'eux. Encore félicitations. Vous restez une inspiration pour le monde.
Thank you for yet another riveting video. Your shoes are absolutely stunning. Hopefully, one day I will swap my cheap leather shoes with higher quality ones.
Loafers seem to be an acquired taste. It took me a few years to find myself comfortable in a pair of penny or tassel loafers. Now I find myself reaching for them often on warmer days just as I would reach for boots in the cooler months. Those suede horsebit loafers of yours are quite something!
You seem to favour dressier loafers rather then the more casual usual suspects. Corthay has an interesting tassel loafer that might suit you. Also the Berluti Andy is pretty iconic and has a dressier shape
J'ai écouté en particulier votre présentation Les 22 chaussures à connaître. Cette présentation m'a permis d'acquérir une base claire concernant les chaussures. Je les trouvais belles et je savais pourquoi mais je n'avais pas le vocabulaire que j'y ai acquis. J'admire ce prototype très très beau et raffiné. Pour ma part (pardonnez-moi de m'immiscer) je le nommerais Le Jacomet qui est aussi un nom évoquant déjà le raffinement. Je pense au peintre Giacometti. Il me semble que cette chaussure relèverait de la trempe supérieure à laquelle elle appartiendra dans le futur. Enfin, merci beaucoup de nous faire connaître ce noble métier qu'est celui de fabriquer de belles chaussures. Tout un art.
No.17-18, the beautiful reddish-brown loafers, I would call their color "Ursine", as it reminds me of the beautiful sunlit fur of certain bears photographed in the mountains of the U.S. (Rockies, or the Cascades, I think).
Hugo I love your recordings. You are a man of my own heart. I have way over 200 pairs of footwear. I have bought well so they last a lifetime. I rarely get rid of any of my shoes. Have you or Sonia done any videos on women's shoes please?
In no particular order, my favorites are the first Corthay Vendome (4), the G&G Deco Oxfords (7), the Paolo Scafora reverse stitched Oxfords (9), the Bemer Bespokes (11), and the Meccariello Bespokes (12). All amazing-looking shoes! With my shoes, I'm kinda on the cheap side but also appreciate good quality, so I look for a lot of factory seconds and used shoes that are in decent condition.
Pretty much all of his shoe names come from territories in the state of Washington. Puyallup is a city south of Seattle, Kent is also south of Seattle, pike, laurelhurst etc. Are all towns, areas or cities in Wa state, USA.
Will you be making a video about bespoke shoes, perhaps explaining in depth the process?, there is some debate regarding rough-turned lasts vs hand crafted wooden lasts. Cheers.
I AM BUYING MY FIRST PAIR OF BLACK TOE OXFORD FROM EDWARD GREEEN!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WISDOM . AND CLASS ! AFTER THE VIRUS IS GONE! I WILL MAKE MT PURCHASE! I ONLY HAVE A PAIR OF ALLEN EDMOND! THANK YOU FOR MY NEW ADDICTION!
Hugo! Lovely channel. I'm curious- how do you intend to style your high boots? Will you wear them with one of your regular suits, or with something a little more country-side?
Absolutely beautiful shoe collection! Any thoughts about italian shoe maker Barrett? Bought a pair of burgundy derbies recently and the leather and workmanship seem very good. Thank you.
Hugo - ask your shoe makers to make a pair that closes at the back so that you just slip your foot into them and fasten with a buckle, or maybe Velcro at the back of the shoe.
I bet that if you pushed the stitching which is on top of many loafers further towards the toe, it would give you the effect you want. Similar to the wingtip. Elongating but still elegant
Hello Hugo, as always, thank you for this videos! One question, what things do you do to keep the edge of the sole clean? Is there any product for that or can we use cream/polish to finish it just as the leather?
Hugo votre paire de Meccariello est juste sublime. Une des plus belle paire qu’il m’ai été donné de voir. Je viens à l’instant de la rue Volney, je souhaitais initialement m’offrir à Noël le ultra de chez Weston, après avoir passé l’Arca et l’avoir vue en bleu marine je ne sais plus ce que je souhaite tellement les corthay m’ont subjugué
Are Santoni a good maker? I bought a pair of brogue Chelsea boots for cheap in an sale in Livigno Italy without knowing anything about them apart from that I liked the look of them. As I loved my Chelsea boots so much, I’ve since bought a pair of lace up brogue boots also by santoni. While searching for them I noticed many different styles of dress shoe I’d like to own 1 day
Yes Ryan, Santoni is a good shoemaker of course. It crafts so many different lines and qualities that it can be difficult to find your way in the collections (from decent to excellent). But it's a good company for sure. Hugo
Snoqualmie, a town of about 13,000 people, is about 40 minutes east of Seattle, Washington. As with many place names in America, the name is from the Snoqualmie people, a First Nations tribe. I only know it as a flyfishing destination. The Snoqualmie River is known for its trout fishing. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of rivers in the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia and Alaska that are a mecca for the avid outdoors person who pursue any of the five species of Pacific Salmon, multiple species of char, trout and steelhead. I have flyfished from Northern California to BC to Alaska and all the way to Kamchatka in Russia. There are many products named after places in the American and Canadian west coast. It seems appropriate that an outdoor boot would be named after a place there. Perhaps Justin Fitzpatrick has a connection to that area? Maybe, to feel a stronger connection to your Snoqualmie boots, you and Sonya could visit the area and experience the outdoors with those boots on your feet!
I was wondering.... i live in a country where for the term "formal" shoes is very loose...... as long as its leather it is considered formal.... my question is ... is it okay to wear brouged wingtips for formal occasions where you wear a wear a suit... not necessarily black tie...... or will i need a something with less brougeing? ...... a wholecut with medallion perhaps???
If you are talking about Mario Bemer, it's 2500 euros (but Mario left the company which bears his name and his Japanese shoemaker is now working with Norman Vilalta in Barcelona). Cheers, Hugo
That very last shoe by Jimenez is absolutely outstanding
I agree, among the best shoemakers in the world. Cheers, Hugo
I didn't even watch the video but I know it will be great. Hugo and Sonya always deliver.
That's very kind of you Krunoslav! Hugo

Snoqualmie is a mountain pass 45 minutes East of Seattle, WA... So, he peaked this name for his Brodequin in French or hiking shoes!

Beautiful shoe indeed Douglas. Happy Holidays! Hugo
Shoe #14 Derby patent leather for black tie? Casual type of shoe with formal type of leather!!

Absolutely beautiful shoe collection! Any thoughts about italian shoe maker Barrett? Bought a pair of burgundy derbies recently and the leather and workmanship seem very good. Thank you.
I don't know them (they are in Parma), but what I see seems very nice. Cheers, Hugo
From what I can see, the shoes so far have all been leather / flat soles. Do you have other shoes you wear in winter for traction?
Hey Mikey, you missed the snoqualmie boots by J. Fitzpatrick (the hiking boots with vibram soles). Cheers, Hugo
Hugo - ask your shoe makers to make a pair that closes at the back so that you just slip your foot into them and fasten with a buckle, or maybe Velcro at the back of the shoe.
I bet that if you pushed the stitching which is on top of many loafers further towards the toe, it would give you the effect you want. Similar to the wingtip. Elongating but still elegant
I have Andrea Ventura Firenze and Trickers, thats my style

I have flyfished from Northern California to BC to Alaska and all the way to Kamchatka in Russia.
There are many products named after places in the American and Canadian west coast. It seems appropriate that an outdoor boot would be named after a place there. Perhaps Justin Fitzpatrick has a connection to that area?

I wouldn't mind bespoke boots. I get into too many situations where nice shoes would get trashed by dust, mud or water.
Some makers at crafting great, sturdy, water resistant yet beautiful shoes and "tanker boots". Cheers, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Thank you!
Hugo, hi from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. Will you review your outerwear wardrobe? It would be very interesting to look at your coat.
Hi Alexander, It is done! By the way, we are currently working with sarto_russi (see Instagram) from Saint-Petersburg. Cheers!
Sir, Thanks for sharing. Please share your opinion on maglieriapelle shoes!
Classy and stylish 👏👏👏
Bespoke shoes for $2000? That's the best price I've heard for bespoke.
If you are talking about Mario Bemer, it's 2500 euros (but Mario left the company which bears his name and his Japanese shoemaker is now working with Norman Vilalta in Barcelona). Cheers, Hugo
Great video, top notch shoes!..
.....have you come across or even heard of a brand of shoes that goes by the name of Medicus Royal?
Any Balmoral boots coming soon?
