I've got 4 pairs of PE shoes, monk straps and tassel loafers. Never paid retail for them, always got them 40% off. As of late, I noticed they no longer do 40% off sales. So it seems they've been gaining more popularity over the years.
Very informative video! I’d like to add “Good Man Brand” as a competitor in this “Made In Italy” minimalist shoe comparison. I compared them to some Greats at Nordstrom when recently looking for sneakers, and ended up going with them over the Greats. Despite the $20 premium, the sneaker looked more sleeker and felt better quality-wise compared to the Greats (which were also good, don’t get me wrong lol). I also think Good Man Brand goes on sale during Nordstrom’s half year and annual sales.
Love this series of comparison. I swear it's made it so much easier for me to buy stuff that is affordable to me but it's quality!! Please don't stop this video!!!!! They are awesome
Sneakers are about street and attitude. If you want to wear sneakers w/ a suit, go for it $60 - $300 it’s still a sneaker. With that in mind Allen Edmonds Park Ave sneaker w/ the option to customize the upper and sole can absolutely pull off suited styles. The Oliver Cabell are NICE. And the CP silhouette and its competitors is probably the the most aesthetic looking sneaker to date. However, unless it’s a rugged boot no way am I wearing $200+ for mundane activities like running errands and walking the dog. Converse, Vans, NB. If I want to dress down a suit I’m reaching for loafers. If I’m gonna dress up jeans I’m reaching for loafers. If I’m gonna have active fun I reaching for a sneaker under $160. But that’s just how I roll 😂. As always, fantastic review!
I've bought the exact same pair of Paul Evan's sneakers for $88 back when they had loyalty point discount system and their preorder discount:) about 2 years ago. Absolutely love them. Great videos man! 🙏🙏🙏
I love your videos great content every time and the amount of time and detail put into each video I just looooove it! I have a couple Koios they are amazing!
I grabbed a pair of J.Fitzpatrick sneakers through Massdrop last summer. The leather quality is much better than my Greats or Beckett Simonon. Cost was about $130.
I would stay away from Oliver Cabell, I ordered a pair of Low 1 last week after watching this video. However the pair I received was made in Spain not Italy and they did not have Margom soles. The shoes also came damaged with a cut in the leather near the tounge. I contacted Oilver Cabell for the false advertising and damaged shoe and was told I can return the shoes if I pay $8.99 for return shipping.
It would be interesting to hear which you retailers you think will survive the Covid 19 catastrophe! Speaking of which, your videos make me look forward to non-grocery/pharmacy shopping again. Thank you.
I wanted to add a quick note on TBNY that is their shoes are frequently on sale, so it’s definitely worth waiting for one. I have a pair of their Chelsea’s that I got on sale a couple of years ago, not sure if actually worth the full retail.
@@custodiaforrest4144 depends on what silhouette you're looking for. Artisan Lab is the closest thing to Common Projects, for almost a third of the price. Can't speak on the new Oliver Cabell's but the seem to be have more rounded toebox and thinner sole.
What did you say you put on your paul evans shoes after you wore them in the rain. What products do you use in general on your leather shoes (cleaner, polish etc.) Thanks!
Picked up some Crown Northampton white sneakers and couldn't be happier. They are so comfortable and well made. Really appreciate the reviews and your informed opinions. Definitely helped when it came to make my purchase.
Agreed brother! I think you would be blown away at fit they can provide (if you can get to Canada or MTO with tweaks since you know your sizing without going to store) and the value they provide in that space!
Idk about greats. Got three pairs from j.crew and either the stitching was coming out, the leather wasnt fully sewn, or the bottom rubber was already scuffed etc. tons of qc issues
Some brand considerations for your next low sneaker round up: Archibald SF-01(Collab with StyFo, they have Kangaroo leather which is interesting). Good Man Brand Legend Low Sneaker ($200, but frequently on sale for $135 or even lower on Nordstrom). Rancourt also has some Low Sneaker particularly with Bison leather. Berwick 1707 sneaker is very interesting as they are available for 99 GBP and Made in Spain with Margom sole, you can only order it from AFPOS though. You should also check out other sneaker lineup from Allen Edmonds. Their Brisbane or Perth is Made with Vibram sole, and Cooper lineup is Made with Margom sole.
One thing I noticed about To Boot's minimal sneaker was that the soles were quite heavy. Is that intentional? Unfortunately, I want the To Boot quality leather upper, but the soles leave me worried about being unable to lift my foot to be able to drive and function (as someone with a neuromuscular disease). Almost like SB Dunk Pros (for those into that stuff) or pairs of C1rca skate shoes for those who had them back in the day that were similarly bottom-heavy. I'm grateful I'd only bought an older pair on eBay for $70 minus shipping and handling.
Cobbler Union is more known for their dress shoes. Would love to see a review of those since they were brought up by Hugo Jacomet on Sartorial Talks and Raphael from Gentleman's Gazette had a pair in his collection as well. Speaking of Sartorial Talks, Septième Largeur was a French dress shoe brand that was brought up that sounds good.
Have two pairs of To Boot NY, the Ranger and Colton models. Both have extremely premium leather that I can create a beautiful soft shine with renovateur and saphir polish, keeps the leather very supple. Will layer on one or two layers of wax for weather protection and you're good to go. The Colton model is by far the most comfortable sneaker I've ever worn, the inner lining is exceptionally soft, but will mention it has a touch of arch support in the inside by the waist of the shoe. I mention this as more flat footed people may find this a bit uncomfortable actually, so trying them on at a local Nordstrom is highly recommended for fit and comfort.
New Oliver Cabell vs Ace Marks vs Koio - which has better/softer leather uppers and which do regard as better value? Ashley Weston complained about Dorian's Oliver Cabells (OC) squeaking. I've noticed my OC GAT's squeaking slightly (but not from outside of sole) when walking on some surfaces...
1. Nice call out to Elegant Oxford. 2. Wide is not D. Wide isn't really E. Wide is EE or above. 3. The only sneaker that can go that wide I found is Allen Edmund's Porter. But you have to get the E and remove the inner sole. It has two padded inner soles, one built into the shoe so it is still comfortable.
Any particular brands which allow one to order a 10 for the left foot and 9.5 for the right foot? I know that Nordstrom allows different sizes, but you must be a minimum of 1 1/2 sizes different (11L and 9.5R for instance).
Between to boot New York and Paul Evans . Which one is the better higher quality sneaker? How does each compare to common projects since they cost almost the same ? And how much better are they then koio?
I know a sneaker company that resoles for an affordable price: OpieWay . Now, the sneakers are common project prices; but, it’s made in the USA, small company, small enough to speak to the owner, and get a custom shoe.
I just bought koio. Definitely size down. Or if you're unsure you can contact them. They're pretty responsive. I'm going to exchange mine to a smaller size even after sizing down
I've been debating if I wanted to buy common projects for a while now and after watching most of your videos talking about comparable brands...I think I am gonna try Koio's! Great videos!
Have you seen the Doek Court? It’s literally the only sneaker that I own (that’s not explicitly for exercising). It is a canvas sneaker, but it’s quite comfortable and has a nice vintage feel. You should check it out.
Great review. Personally...I would like to see a review on Good Man Brand, and Frye's luxury sneakers, (specifically, the Brett, and Walker modesl). I know this is an old video, so I understand if no response is given. Regardless...this is a great review. (I have only recently gotten into the luxury sneaker market), so I am just now finding these videos. Thanks again.
Hi, I saw this review before the Covid19 shutdown and as I live in Northamptonshire thought I’d give Crown Northampton a visit. Just got back from a fitting with Chris Woodford (owner) and am now waiting for the sneakers to be hand made. Crazy world; to see a review of locally (to me) made sneakers via a US reviewer (you - The Kavalier) recommended by another US reviewer (Brian Sacawa at He Spoke Style).
I love my Crown Northampton's. I got the Upton Wholecut in Horween No 8 Chromexcel Gum. They're really comfortable once they soften up. Out of the box, they're very stiff, which is understandable.
You gotta check out Magnanni's sneakers. I have had a couple pairs of their hightops for 3+ years now and they are incredible; flawless, no blemishes, leather and soles look almost brand new. Plus they have hand painted patinas. I always get compliments when I wear them. Their latest season has a nearly all white sneaker too... Gorgeous!
It's interesting you say that your dress shoes vs. sneakers sizes are about the same. My sneakers/trainer shoe size has *always* been at least a half size, if not a full size, larger than my dress shoes.
I absolutely appreciate the time and money that you have dedicated to another round up. Even though some of them are not my style, I am sure I will invest in a pair very soon and your recommendations have been very very useful and unbiased! Thank you very much Jon!
why do you say invest? investments are expected to increase in value. clothes, shoes do not qualify. a lot of youtubers use the word to try to make people spend money, but even they admit to misusing it.
Really liked you mentioned when shoes could be resoled. 300 gets a decent dress shoe which is resoleable why couldn't sneakers be if Wolf and Shepherd can resole their cemented construction shoes.
Would you be willing to take a moment to give me some information. Did Allen Edmonds make a model of shoe called a Chester? Approximately what year did they stop making the Chester. Did Allen Edmonds make a model of shoe called the Birmingham? Approximately what year did they stop making the Birmingham. I am trying to purchase a brand new pair of Allen Edmonds shoes on eBay and considerably reduced price and am trying to gather info. Thank you in advance! Edwin Corbin
Rancourt is another premium sneaker option that offers resoling (with the premium sole of your choice for $85) and resole+refurb for $135. They also offer Horween leather options for $280 which look amazing and have a Vibram sole. My question is where are you finding any information about the discount for the VAT on the Crown's? I dont see it mentioned anywhere on the site. Does this refund come off at check out or is it after it ships?
Really enjoying your videos as I try to decide the next brand to try. I bought a pair of Greats and they are pretty good for the price. But, they don't compare in comfort to my A.Testoni. Sure, the Testoni's retailed for $525, but some discount site had one pair in my size for 70% off and I decided to give them a shot. Now they are my benchmark for comfort. You mentioned the comfort of the Crown Northampton, so I may have to try those. Would be cool if you did a pure comfort ranking regardless of price in an upcoming video.
The price for the Paul Evans is outrageous, especially for a company that started as a ‘direct to consumer’ one
I've got 4 pairs of PE shoes, monk straps and tassel loafers. Never paid retail for them, always got them 40% off. As of late, I noticed they no longer do 40% off sales. So it seems they've been gaining more popularity over the years.
The shape of artisan lab is sooo beautifull 5:18 😍😍
Congratulations on 100k! Thoroughly deserved!
Thank you Adi!!
Just snagged an older pair of Greats with the navy strip on the back.
Good choice.

I also think Good Man Brand goes on sale during Nordstrom’s half year and annual sales.
could u make a video on how u take care of this sneaker
Artisan Lab is hands down the best shoes for the value! US included!

I recently purchased a pair of Taft white minimal sneakers. I am absolutely loving them.
I grabbed a pair of J.Fitzpatrick sneakers through Massdrop last summer. The leather quality is much better than my Greats or Beckett Simonon. Cost was about $130.
I'm trying to figure out what a "Marde"sole and "color ways" are. You must have used those terms 20 times each. Great video, thanks!
Absolutely love a good leather sneaker. Thanks for taking one for the team and trying every brand! Also congrats on the 100k! 🥳
Are these types of shoes (flat footed and I think no padding/cushion?) ok for the heels and Achilles?
So under 200 dollars which would be the best Allen Edmonds, greats, Oliver cabell, Beckett and simonon or artisan lab ????
I would stay away from Oliver Cabell, I ordered a pair of Low 1 last week after watching this video. However the pair I received was made in Spain not Italy and they did not have Margom soles. The shoes also came damaged with a cut in the leather near the tounge.

It looks like there is no fees for European buying the Oliver Cabell so now should i go with artisan lab or Oliver Cabell ?
Artisan Lab all day. Their leather quality is superior. Also dig the slim silhouette.
@@ivanchunghk even though they renewed their leather? also thinking about these two
@@custodiaforrest4144 depends on what silhouette you're looking for. Artisan Lab is the closest thing to Common Projects, for almost a third of the price. Can't speak on the new Oliver Cabell's but the seem to be have more rounded toebox and thinner sole.
@@ivanchunghk Thank you for the reply
My single favourite style channel - sincere congratulations on 100K subscribers.
Can you do a video kn the new minimalist Thursday Boots sneakers?
☑️
Can someone explain the what exactly is minimal shoes and how is it different from normal shoes?
What is the sole he keeps mentioning and why is it special? Mardum, markham, marden? Can't understand or find it.
What did you say you put on your paul evans shoes after you wore them in the rain. What products do you use in general on your leather shoes (cleaner, polish etc.) Thanks!
How do you feel about new republic
Pro Tip: Allen Edmonds are releasing Goodyear welt sneakers later this year. I’d hold out for those.
Thanks!
Where did you see this information? id like to find out
Elijah A the associates at my local AE store told me.
@@mation21 He doesn't specifically say GYW but just welted ua-cam.com/video/l5dFNt7iSzw/v-deo.html
@@unholyrevenger72 Thanks! really appreciate this info. Just wish they would say when these will be released
Love the longer videos !
Picked up some Crown Northampton white sneakers and couldn't be happier. They are so comfortable and well made. Really appreciate the reviews and your informed opinions. Definitely helped when it came to make my purchase.
What about coke haan grand zero 2?
For future vids would like to see you cover Spier Mackay MTM sport coats and shirts.
Agreed brother! I think you would be blown away at fit they can provide (if you can get to Canada or MTO with tweaks since you know your sizing without going to store) and the value they provide in that space!
I picked up 3 of the acemarks and they are super lux. Also have 3 pair of Jak's from Portugal. Outstanding as well.
Idk about greats. Got three pairs from j.crew and either the stitching was coming out, the leather wasnt fully sewn, or the bottom rubber was already scuffed etc. tons of qc issues
Care to share the links to your previous shoe reviews in specific price points you mention in the first thirty seconds . Thanks

The AE shoes are 225 right now..... But they also are back to artificially inflating prices as Higgins Mill for reference are 425 as of 1/24/20
Bought a pair of Crown sneakers following one of your sneaker review videos. Awesome, awesome sneaker. Thanks for the info and advice!

Just purchased koio via direct link from ur description, I hope I like it. Thanks for introducing the brand.
What’s your take on the Ecco Soft 7? I am a big fan of your channel, I find your content very informative and helpful.
Bullboxer. I know it's not the same level but I think they have a lot to offer. What do you think?
New Oliver Cabell vs Ace Marks vs Koio - which has better/softer leather uppers and which do regard as better value? Ashley Weston complained about Dorian's Oliver Cabells (OC) squeaking. I've noticed my OC GAT's squeaking slightly (but not from outside of sole) when walking on some surfaces...

The AE looks pretty chunky. How is the silhouette? Is it pretty sleek compared to other brands.
Thoughts on Thursday boots entry with the Premier Low Tops?
Do all white sneakers turn yellow?
Crown still looks super nice for spring. Gonna have to make room in my shoe closet. 😬
Any particular brands which allow one to order a 10 for the left foot and 9.5 for the right foot? I know that Nordstrom allows different sizes, but you must be a minimum of 1 1/2 sizes different (11L and 9.5R for instance).
What pair has the widest toe box?
Hi! I’m trying to decide between Beckett Simonon and Koio. Which would you personally recommend?
Do the Allen Edmonds Canal fit true to size? Or should I go a half size down?
Could you please recommend between artisan lab vs oliver cabell white w/ gum sole? And is the new version of cabell squeaks?
What about m gemi ? Are they still good or should just pick up Oliver C ?
Artisan Lab or M.Gemi? Any recommendations?
Between to boot New York and Paul Evans . Which one is the better higher quality sneaker? How does each compare to common projects since they cost almost the same ? And how much better are they then koio?
so is koio better than oliver cabell quality wise?
Are to boot New York and goral better then koio? They cost a lot more
I really digging this guy's videos.
I know a sneaker company that resoles for an affordable price: OpieWay . Now, the sneakers are common project prices; but, it’s made in the USA, small company, small enough to speak to the owner, and get a custom shoe.
What is your recommendation when between sizes on Koio . You have a recommendation on a added insole to get the half size needed ?
I just bought koio. Definitely size down. Or if you're unsure you can contact them. They're pretty responsive. I'm going to exchange mine to a smaller size even after sizing down
I've been debating if I wanted to buy common projects for a while now and after watching most of your videos talking about comparable brands...I think I am gonna try Koio's! Great videos!
The more I learn, the more i'm finding out that there are plenty of solid sneakers out-there that are better value > Common Projects.
Surprised 100k didn't come earlier with the solid unbiased reviews. Well done on 100K!
Skoaktiebolaget sneakers!
Archibald SF-01 (the Styleforum Sneaker)!
are these all in D width?
Have you seen the Doek Court? It’s literally the only sneaker that I own (that’s not explicitly for exercising). It is a canvas sneaker, but it’s quite comfortable and has a nice vintage feel. You should check it out.
What are your thoughts on the banana republic sneakers? They have the low top similar to the allen edmonds you have in your video?
I would like to see a comparison of the Paul Evans sneaker with the Netto Due from M Gemi.
Yes please!
I will never be out of a job.
Great review. Personally...I would like to see a review on Good Man Brand, and Frye's luxury sneakers, (specifically, the Brett, and Walker modesl).

Do the olive cabell still squeak?
Hi,
I saw this review before the Covid19 shutdown and as I live in Northamptonshire thought I’d give Crown Northampton a visit. Just got back from a fitting with Chris Woodford (owner) and am now waiting for the sneakers to be hand made.
Crazy world; to see a review of locally (to me) made sneakers via a US reviewer (you - The Kavalier) recommended by another US reviewer (Brian Sacawa at He Spoke Style).
Gustin? Ever coming? couldn’t find it on your site either? Maybe waiting on them to arrive?
Do all of these sneakers follow the basic sneaker design, i.e., no arch support, just a flat footbed?
I love my Crown Northampton's. I got the Upton Wholecut in Horween No 8 Chromexcel Gum. They're really comfortable once they soften up. Out of the box, they're very stiff, which is understandable.
I just want to know what your annual budget is for clothes,.shoes and accessories for all these UA-cam vids.
Companies send reviewers tons of free stuff, he has more than he can handle probably
If you would have only one pair of shoes for travel which would you pick?
Crocs
Hell yeah Brother, lovin these sneaker videos.
Great comparison video ! Would like to see a review of the Mark Chris Gianni sneaker.
Don't forget the Rancourts! Made right here in Maine.
You gotta check out Magnanni's sneakers. I have had a couple pairs of their hightops for 3+ years now and they are incredible; flawless, no blemishes, leather and soles look almost brand new.

What is a margrom sole?
Black or Brown Koio Sneakers?
I live my Koio triple whits but my favorites are axel arigato clean 90s the quality of Koio with the freshest silhouette
Arigato or Oliver Cabell? Pls answer
Really liked you mentioned when shoes could be resoled. 300 gets a decent dress shoe which is resoleable why couldn't sneakers be if Wolf and Shepherd can resole their cemented construction shoes.
Would you be willing to take a moment to give me some information. Did Allen Edmonds make a model of shoe called a Chester? Approximately what year did they stop making the Chester.
Did Allen Edmonds make a model of shoe called the Birmingham? Approximately what year did they stop making the Birmingham.
I am trying to purchase a brand new pair of Allen Edmonds shoes on eBay and considerably reduced price and am trying to gather info.
Thank you in advance! Edwin Corbin
Are these resolable?
Rancourt is another premium sneaker option that offers resoling (with the premium sole of your choice for $85) and resole+refurb for $135. They also offer Horween leather options for $280 which look amazing and have a Vibram sole. My question is where are you finding any information about the discount for the VAT on the Crown's? I dont see it mentioned anywhere on the site. Does this refund come off at check out or is it after it ships?
Congratulations on 100K!
Really enjoying your videos as I try to decide the next brand to try. I bought a pair of Greats and they are pretty good for the price. But, they don't compare in comfort to my A.Testoni. Sure, the Testoni's retailed for $525, but some discount site had one pair in my size for 70% off and I decided to give them a shot. Now they are my benchmark for comfort. You mentioned the comfort of the Crown Northampton, so I may have to try those. Would be cool if you did a pure comfort ranking regardless of price in an upcoming video.
Thanks for bringing up if you are a 10 in AE 65 last you should be a 10 in certain shows. Sizing between brands is tough
What's your opinion on the brand Magnanni? I believe they are made in Spain.
Have you ever tried sweyd and cqp sneaker?
