I have three pairs of TLB's. Once I worked with Tony and found him responsive and sincere, there was no reason to go elsewhere. His shoes are certainly the best I've found for the money. In fact I have shoes that cost twice as much that don't measure up to this attention to detail and quality. Plus, shipment was fast and tracking was accurate.

Can I ask, how did you manage to choose the correct size? I don’t really like buying shoes online.

@@krisztianszabo3588 There’s a conversion chart on their website and also easily found on the internet. I own three pairs of TLBs and love them. I was also wary about not getting the right size, but it was no problem. I asked a few questions via email before I made my first purchase and was promptly answered by a very pleasant person. I highly recommend this company. ☝️🥴
This is the golden age when the original founder is still at the helm. Much like Salvatore Ferragamo were back in the day.
I watched this video so many times. The 290 is the perfect oxford. I couldn’t resist so bought them.
Always appreciate a nicely shined shoe but the natural unshined leather is so addicting. Great content as always ❤
Glad to see you’re back!
Bro 😎 I have to say that I’m impressed with your narration of the shoes. This was a great commercial and if companies advertised men’s shoes this commentary would sell a lot of TLB shoes. 🎉
Thank you for the video! I know you are a busy man but I really appreciate the time you put in to your regular edited videos ranging from 8 to 20 minutes. They are uncommonly professional and enjoyable! Every time I see a new video from you that isn’t a live stream I get very excited! (Not saying anything against the live streams, but these videos are very nice and ‘polished’)
I rarely wear shoes with laces however the shoes with that cap shine is making me rethink
Classy shoe, amazing video production and commentary.
This is definitely going into my collection. Those are very well made.
Thanks! Good stuff as always, and I just love the shoes from TLB! Easily my favourite brand!
Love this brand. Really wish they made my size. The little details are beautiful.
I love my artista 128's! I haven't gotten around to polishing them but I have a can of blue pate d'luxe ready to go for when the time comes. I'll have your mirror shine video playing in the background when I do it 😂

Thanks for watching! The 128 is a classic
I have the 112 black cap toe Oxford. They really are that good in my opinion. Nothing loud to catch your attention with a simple shoe, but the details sum up.
I have the Bronson split toe double leather sole JR. Black. Madison last 680 model. 3 weeks to my hands. Good weight. Superb! 290 next.
I hope to see you review some boots like Solovair's Southeners or Derby boots, and do a mirror shine on them. I'd gladly send you a pair!
Wonderful video Preston! Always a beautiful mirrorshine on your shoes. However You’ve definitely persuaded me to purchase a pair of TLB’s! I’m looking to get a pair of artista 212’s in a dark brown, definitely will watch your mirror shine tutorial for brogues!

I also have one question, on camera these appear almost black but how do they appear in person? Lighter or darker brown and any undertones you’ve noticed?

Thank you for your high quality video. You have help me a lot to restore and take care of my leather shoes. Could you please tell us some time how can we treat a new pair of suede shoes?
I’ll be buying a used pair of Allen Edmonds tomorrow off eBay. I would like to send them to your to be fully restored…

Great video and breakdown! Would you wear this color or a black cap toe with a medium to darker Brown suit? No one seems to cover this topic can you provide your opinion please what color dress shoes to wear with a brown suit ? Thank you
Yeah I knew TLB were great shoes but now I really see the quality. Carmina has a serious opponent and I have 2 Carmina shoes.
I have a pair of TLB’s but they crease very much whenever I wear them sadly, it might be because the size is a bit too small though
Can you compare TLB oxford and Union Cobbler Robert with Yearn from Arterton oxford.
Hi, what height is the heel stack on these? Kind regards

Thank you for your speedy response. Do you offer 1 on 1 training classes?
Thank you for the video. Do you still work on shoes? A local shop botched a dye job on my dress shoes. How can I contact you?
I'm a B.N.C.C cadet . Please make a video for our boots.
I have chunky feet, I tried Oxford shoes but they were too tight so I only wear leather long boots, also tried size other than 43 but it was too loose

Try derbies, because if their open lacing they tend to suit better on wide feet

It sounds like you might need to try wide sizes which TLB happens to have through their MTO program. That adjustment worked for me.
Do you have a storefront in San Diego? I noticed you are in SD.

Is this just a 112 Artista with JR soles?

It’s the same design as the 112 (same Goya last) but with a seamless heel although you can change the last if you decide to customize it.

No, it’s full grain calfskin.
Awfully boring shoes. Nothing can beat a semi-brogue or full-brogue in a rich brown or burgundy. I am sure the quality is excellent, but black Oxfords? No, thank you!

The shoes aren’t black, they are dark brown. I like brogues myself but they are not appropriate wear for certain occasions and thus, a plain captoe is a staple.
