Beautiful shoes all around! I bet your 4-legged family member was confused & annoyed at your erratic struts during the walk.😅
Haha. True.
I have a pair of Oct Tenth on the way. Interesting to hear that Yeossal could be made in the same factory.
Yes, They are.
I’ve heard this and suspect it looking at the shoes but both brands have denied it.
@@wishoeguy Both are from Xibao Shwomaker
Regarding shoe trees being the same.. it's because they are from the same tree maker. They make some pretty nice shoe /boot trees. I had some 3-piece boots trees custom-made for my Carmina boots from them as well.
Could be. The last looks similar except the waist. There are plenty of after marker trees that are well made.
Nice weaponry in the background--any Albion swords?
No. Albion isn’t in that collection yet. Thanks!
Is that Russian hatch grain in oxblood?
No. This is saddle hatch grain.
Can a cobbler resole shoes like these yeossals (or any other high end shoe) and still leave the bevelled and fiddleback waist and the spade soles ?How much would a resole like that cost? I’m afraid only shoemakers would be able to do these things with ease
That is a fair observation. It’s certainly possible and I know cobblers that can but it’s not every cobbler out there. Likely the top 5 percent. This is why most high end factories offer a repair service. I’ll ask a cobbler for a quote but I wouldn’t be surpirisef if it were >$200us.
Hello I am debeating between a Y by yeossal and meccariello both made to order. Any thoughts between the 2? Thanks and nice video!
Both great choices. I have AM handwelted MTO in the pipeline to check out. I have the Argentum rtw and it’s awesome. All things equal I’d rate AM higher, but you will likely wait 2-3 times longer as well.
Which one do you feel is better value and would you reccommend them to people with flat feet and a lower/regular instep?
I would reach out to Yeossal on IG to ask this. You’d be amazed at the knowledge they have on their lasts and how they compare for instep and arch. It’s not a path I’ve ever gone down with them so can’t guide you but I’m sure they can.
Best wishes.
How is the leather holding up? Looks like minimal creasing during your walk.
So far so good.
How would you compare these with sons of Henrey October 10th shoes? Since they’re both MTO type shoes made in China, what are the differences and is there a preference between the 2?
I address this and compare in the video.
@@wishoeguy Thanks for your response. Sorry; didn’t get to see the entire video. I will see it when I have some free time. Keep posting more videos.
No worries. The sole ink and insoles are different and of course the last has some variation but they’re very very similar.
What would be the benefit of a handwelted construction vs a goodyear welted one? Is it more comfortable to wear?
Many guys feel that way. The main feel difference is more insole and less cork on hand welted. There is also a longevity issue because the welt is attached directly to the leather insole instead of a piece of canvas (like in GYW) but let that aside.
The insole on handwelted is thicker. Needs to be in order to sew it to the welt. They have to carve a channel into it. This means there is more leather to conform to the shape of your foot. There is also less gap between the thicker leather and the sole when attached, hence less cork to fill the gap. The rest really remains the same. Handwelt enthusiasts will also say the tension of closing the insole to the upper is better but I haven’t felt that. In the end your foot settles into your shoes and part of the break in is the insole conforming to the shape of your foot.
If the insole is thin, like a GYW, this takes a little less time and the cork, which is thicker also plays a bigger role in the break in. When the shoes are resoled, the cork is replaced and you need to break it in again. Of course the insole is already broken in so you have a head start.
When the insole is thick, like a handwelted shoe, the foot has already conformed to the foot and there is less cork to break in.
To complicate or simplify things, a few makers have decided to use thicker insoles on their Goodyear welted shoes and either use a machine or another way to carve the channel for adding the welt. This is done by Antonio Meccariello in his Argentum rtw/MTO line and by Gordon Jim Jun in his modified GYW line.
I’m unsure but am interested if anyone knows if GG and Edward Green use thicker insoles too?
Hope that helps.
@@wishoeguy wow thank you for the comprehensive answer!!! Super great information here you can't find anywhere else. Appreciate it!
@@wishoeguy
Very thorough answer, thank you, thank you👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Looks like it’s hard to find any yeossal shoes
Yeossal carries them but has limited stock so mostly made to order.
I’ve noticed that you wear size 10 UK in both Yeossal and TLB, I was wondering which of the two fit more snug? I have TLB Artista in 9 UK and they well but not snug, not sure I could quite go down 1/2 a size or not, they’re fine with a thick sock.... I’m thinking about getting a pair of Yeossal but if they’re roomier than the TLB I might want to size down
Slightly roomier, I’m good in the TLB but wish I’d sized down in the Yeossal.
@@wishoeguy size down full or half size? My issue is width, I’m between narrow and medium width
@@MrCoachab from TLB I wouldn’t go more than half. I’m between medium and wide so your experience may be totally different. I’d write to Yeossal on IG.
What's the difference between utah calf and horween hatch?
The tanning is different so the Utah calf is softer and slightly more oily so slightly less formal. Hatch grain, especially when New can be a little stiff.
Utah calf is tanned by Haas. Hatch grain mostly comes from Horween. If you’re looking for more detail I’m sure they have some info.
I see! Thank you for the info. How do both wear? Does one crease more than the other over time?
They both crease but it’s slight, however I’d say hatch holds its overall shape a little Betteer over time. Utah is very soft. It’s a great material to use on flex points like the shaft of a boot to make them more comfortable.
@@wishoeguy thank you for the information! 😊 Looking to get some split toes from Mattina shoes!
Your sniffing all the time is disgusting. Great shoes do not make up bad manners.
Wishing you good health.
