I'd agree, I own 4 pairs of Cheaney and as it happens 4 pairs of Loake and would say that Cheaney are definitely a step above Loake - which by the way are very good shoes too. Especially if you only stick to Loake's 1880 range .
The Herring beeswax creams are made in China. I couldn’t say if it is on a par with Saphir as I haven’t used their comparable products but I have found the Herring creams to be perfectly adequate for regular maintenance.
Yes. I think Cheaney is fantastic quality for the price. Cheaper than C&J benchgrade. Sartorial Talks recently included them in their top ten shoe brands for 2019.
Nguyễn Khánh Thanks for the feedback. I think the quality of C&J benchgrade is a little bit higher than Cheaney’s standard line but it isn’t significant. Stylistically, C&J lasts tend to be a bit narrower and they offer a bit more variety whereas Cheaney’s standard 125 (shown here) is a very classic last shape. C&J edges it if you are looking for a more refined ‘modern’ look.
Those seem great value but supply seems to be very limited? They are not currently available through the Meermin website. The Carmina SC Longwings are a bit pricier but seem great value compared with Allen Edmonds or Alden. My issue with Meermin/Carmina is always the narrowness of the lasts.
Aitor A. lopez I bought a size 11 UK which Cheaney advise is a size 12 US. Feels fairly roomy to me and I have wide feet so if in doubt I would go down 1/2 a size. www.cheaney.co.uk/size-fit-i9
I own cheaney brogue boots Tweed C in a tan colour absolutely stunning and well worth the £ 370.00 had the six years and can’t kill um but I look after them using Shapir polish still look like new British at there best 🇬🇧🇬🇧👌👌 .
Aitor A. lopez Yes, you can check out some of the other shoes I own which I have reviewed on my channel. I am usually a UK size 11. I think a standard UK F fitting is fairly generous and that may be because the G (wide) fitting options are limited. Crockett and Jones tend to be narrower so I go up 1/2 a size but that also depends on the last.
@@yacovlevi You wouldn't know class if it bit you directly on your ass. I stopped caring about your comments about 2-3 years ago when I watched you show the internet how clueless you are about classic shoe style. You think you're this world-wise shoe elitist, but you're actually just a douchebag who thinks you're always right. Please just go away.
@@benjaminkenobi21 Hello sir. Good afternoon. Thank you for your comments. I, in fact do know what class is and these shoes do not have it. They just look common. Their bulk, the dull colour. They are mass produced by machines with average leather. You could hardly wear these shoes for a formal event.
@@yacovlevi You don't even appear to know the difference between "classy" and "formal." Classy means "stylish and sophisticated." Formal means "in accordance with rules of convention or etiquette." In my book, these shoes are those things. No one said they were formal shoes, and they don't need to be formal shoes to be classy shoes. Who gives a shit if they're mass produced by machines? These are welted by someone holding the shoe in their hand and using a stitching machine, which the vast majority of shoes in the world are not. I think your "high standards" for formality and hand craftsmanship are laughable, I really do.

Yeah I've got a few of both and I wouldn't touch the loake unless they are the 1880. The loake design are made in India I believe.
what do you think of herring cream polish? is it on par with saphir?
The Herring beeswax creams are made in China. I couldn’t say if it is on a par with Saphir as I haven’t used their comparable products but I have found the Herring creams to be perfectly adequate for regular maintenance.
Are you satisfied with the quality?
Yes. I think Cheaney is fantastic quality for the price. Cheaper than C&J benchgrade. Sartorial Talks recently included them in their top ten shoe brands for 2019.
How would you compare Cheaney to C&J in terms of quality?
Nice video btw
Nguyễn Khánh Thanks for the feedback.

marksshoereviews Thank you so much
I hear good things about Cheaney, but I wonder how these compare to Meermin's shell cordovan longwing brogues which comes out to a similar price

@@marksshoereviews6028 Yea thats true, cordovan option is only available couple times a year through their MTO option. Thanks for replying
DXM You might be interested in Herring’s new SC longwings: www.herringshoes.co.uk/herring/crawley_brogues/burgundy-cordovan

Do you have any other British made shoes, what brands, and if you do how do they fit? and what do you recommend in size. thanks so much .

Are these birkdale??
No, these are made by Cheaney. Birkdale is Loake 1880.
@@marksshoereviews6028 what about highbury loafer ? Is it from 1880 collection ?
These ooze class.... the coolest style of shoe a man can wear. Beauties
Class? They look rugged and bulky.

Those are blucher brogues.
Yes they are ‘true’ bluchers although I consider the blucher a type of derby.
Black shoes are better looking
Haha, each to their own I guess. I only wear black shoes with a business suit.
The British Round Toe always lacks elegance.
Fair observation but that’s part of the style. These are meant to be quite casual.
@@marksshoereviews6028My reply was just based on some of the other comments about them being classy.
