- Опубліковано 1 чер 2021
- Here I unbox a very unique color of wholecut oxfords by the up-and-coming Michael Darren Shoes, known for their RTW patina options. Founded by @mbshoedoc of Instagram, this brand is something to watch out for, for those who appreciate the Italian Style of shoemaking and construction.

I really can't thank you enough for the excellent review. When you have access to bespoke makers and ultra high end shoes to it really means a lot for you to take the time to unbox such a small and new brand like mine. Your insights are most valuable and I will continue to work to offer the best shoes I can at a fair price.
Thanks Mike and my pleasure! Keep up the good work
See comment above who wants a pair ;-)
Watching this unboxing again and now that I own 4 pair of Michael Darren I can say his shoes are quite good. Justin's assessment is spot on. They don't feel like blake stitched and look amazing and are very comfortable. I even had Mike do a custom patina on on a crust wingtip. And best of all, Mike is a really good guy.
Thanks for sharing!
Michael makes some beautiful shoes. The patinas are stunning if you like that look.
Thanks for sharing!
Michael Darren is an PATINA ARTIST, very nice GENTLEMAN HIS SHOES are next on my list to get.
Thanks for sharing David 🙌
I would like to own a pair of those beautiful whole cut shoes.
I am sure that @mbshoedoc can help with that
Wow Justin! Glad you showcased this brand! This gentleman the MBShoe Doc seems very humble thru his videos. Thanks for sharing, but I’ve got to disagree with you on Ferragamo, their old school early 2000’s loafer style, but they do last and I think their leather is awesome! Also, I think their Tramezza line from even what you said on one of their blogs is superb👌🏼 Also, I’ve personally tried on and seen the leather quality of Santoni and it’s truly next-level and super foot conforming and this is coming from a 3E foot, but yes their price is way, way too high indeed. Your right though we definitely do have to support the small companies, but I’ve yet to come across any with the level of service you give!, especially the one’s from China, and I know you like their passion, but their service is great when they see a potential client, but they lack the humanitarian aspect that Justin Fitzpatrick has👍🏼
-Thanks again and good for this gentleman’s shoe line👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼-
Thanks Zohair! And yes Tremezza used to be really good. I had a pair that I loved. Not the same anymore though. Santoni is the same. Both companies CAN make good shoes but there is no profit margin in good shoes for high end fashion brands. They want to mark up lik 5-6 times. But glad that you enjoy the video

Absolutely Justin your right, the mark-up is way too high for the product they give you. I definitely can’t disagree with the true knowledgeable authority on footwear globally 👍🏼
Good review! MBshoedoc is that dude. I have some of his patina works in my collection. Like that you also like that logo 😉
Thanks for sharing Chris!
Thanks so much Chris! I wonder who it could have been that helped me design that logo...Hmmm
@@mbshoedoc gotta be @sunriseprintingllc 😁
Beautiful looking but I wish it were a goodyear welt
I know how you feel ;-)
In JF we trust :-) I'm enjoying your videos - bravo. This brand do look substantial for a Blake stitch. I'm generally not too much into patina, but I'm open to change. I agree with you on the stretches in some leathers: I have a vintage pair of Alfred Sargent split toe derby boots - the leather is very good but it does have a few stretch marks, which I think gives character.
Look forward to more content.

Hey Tony, thanks for sharing and the kind feedback. I do appreciate it! And nice looking paella in your pic ;-) I miss eating that!
@@theshoesnob_official Cheers fella. Yep: paella and shoes - a guy could have worse obsessions ;-)
@@mbshoedoc Look forward to seeing more of your designs.
Cheers

Nothing wrong with blake stitch when its executed well. Might try a pair of these. I like how thick the sole is compared to other blake stitch shoes I have ( not many, most are GYW).
Indeed! Thank you for sharing
@@mbshoedoc that is my only complaint with some of my blake shoes too. I wear my unlined carmina a ton but still wish they had thicker soles lol
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🙌
Thank you. Flawless, as ever. How do you feel about budget shoes Greywalk? Thanks in advance.
Appreciate it. Unfortunately I did not like what I saw from Greywalk.
@@theshoesnob_official in terms of aesthetics or durability?
@@theshoesnob_official It is just that I am accustomed to Grenson but I have moved to an unforgiving climate (Saudi Arabia) and need something durable but not pricey. Thanks.
@@samyselim7075 all of the above. Cheap shoes claim handmade. I cannot support that. Look to Orban's from Paris for your solution
@@theshoesnob_official Thank you.
Y're verry man i like the thiouze
🙌
Bellos oxfords. De que pais es esta marca??
Hechos en Italia
Blake stitch? I think I’ll pass
You may be selling yourself short. There are mind-boggling Blake stitched shoes. Happy shoe hunting!
@@philippedemontauvant5565 lol Blake shoe in disguise. No thanks.
I feel you. But some people hate welted so trying to diversify and of someone steps into a blake shoe that looks and feels like welted maybe they can then appreciate what welted shoes are all about ;-)
@@theshoesnob_official i understand. Thanks!
