Love the GG and its a grail shoe but I think I would take 3 pairs of TLB instead :)

Thank you for doing this comparison and taking the time to talk about comfort

Great informative review. Thank you 🙏

Thank you for posting! I'm considering of getting my first TLB. Hope you make more videos.

Nice comparison. Would have been good to hear observations regarding fit between the two. For example, the TLB looks to have more room in the toe box. How is the width, instep, etc. I know everyone’s foot is different, but you have so many pairs that it would seem like you would be in a position to comment on fit attributes. Just my $.02

Thanks. I have been thinking about how best to do that. I’m working on it.

Great review! Just wondered if any recommendations or reviews about dress socks.

I have done one. It’s on my playlists under shoe adjacent. I’m due to do an update.

Sizing question. Looking at the 110 Artista Picasso. Says it comes in a F width. I'm a UK 8. The Elton last with Meermin comes in an E width. Fits very well. Could you compare the 2? In your opinion would I need to make any size adjustments?

I wouldn’t. Meermin E (standard) is the same as TLB F

Have you tried TLB’s Main Line, if so how is the quality?

I have one pair from the mainline and I’ve ordered a MTO which should be here Monday. I’ve been very pleased with the quality.

Wi Shoeguy so what’s the major difference between the Main and the Artista, is it just the beveled waste in the sole?

@wishoeguy

It’s the sole, the lasts and imo it’s also the quality of the leather. The two mainline shoes I’ve ordered were not available in the Artista range which is why I bought them. I’ve been very pleased with the main line though. I think it’s closer to Carmina and the Artista line is closer to the hand grade brands.

Will you be obtaining a TLB penny loafer for a future comparison?.

It’s not in my plans today. I’m not really into loafers and while i picked up some summer ones recently for shorts, candidly I rarely wear combinations and prefer lace ups with suits. Sorry.

I saw your recent loafer reviews and thought I might buy a pair from TLB to wear indoors and as you shorts. Usually wear Derby’s and I managed to get TLB to make me a pair In Width size H. Most comfortable shoes since 1969 when I bought a pair of Church’s in Piccadilly arcade for £19. Shop not there anymore and I think the price might be a little higher now.

I would assume they are. You can still get some Church’s in H, I’ve seen that on Herring. I’ll keep you updated if I change my mind on loafers. I have three pair now and feel like that’s enough for the summer but as we all know the winds change direction! Best regards... JS

Wi Shoeguy yes three pairs is ample for now. Yes I have seen church’s in width H but only in Oxfords which for my high instep can be painful. Please keep up your very informative chats.

Let’s do a battle between all your TLB shoes…and main V’s artista. 😃💪
