    I'm so glad you mentioned Loake. I've been wearing looks for over 30 years, mainly Oxfords. I was a restaurant manager in high end hotels and restaurants for many years and Loakes were always the shoes I wore for work. When you are on your feet for most of the day then very good shoes are a necessity.

They're not bad, but I see now that I should have prioritized more money for a higher quality shoe. I'll have to return them, and am now looking for something $250 - $300 in Oxblood double monk. My pen and notebook are now out. Thank you for this very timely video!

Thanks to your video I’m going to buy my first “real” dress shoes from Cobbler Union. I imagine they will last much longer than other shoes I’ve bought in the past. I’m having a hard time deciding if I should stick with a pair of Oxfords first or if I should go with double monk straps. I know Oxfords are classic but I really like the look of a double monk strap. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you both again, I look forward to watching even more of your videos!

But I've also worn through 2 pairs of cheap leather shoes in 2 years, so I'll be taking the plunge soon.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Shoe Passion on quality, just ensure that the shoes fit properly or you will be in a world of hurt. Literally. The shoe sizer printed from their German website gave me half a size (UK) more than what I needed. The first shoes I ordered from them seem to fit me well at first try on, but transformed into torture devices when I wore them longer. After this experience I went half a size down and the following pairs fit perfectly and never caused me any discomfort. I hope this helps.

    Thank you for a fantastic video. I would like to ask you, why I never see videos of High end Brand Shoes that also come with a belt that matches the shoe and/or the shoe patina!!!!??? I am always told that the Shoe should match the belt, and vise versa!!! Thanks again!!!

    As always Hugo, very interesting captivating video, I look forward to you part 2, I was ever so disappointing when i ran out of your videos to watch before the new year. As a Mixed Englishman I am a massive fan of Joseph Cheaneys shoes since Jonathan and William have taken them back to there heritage, particularly there imperial line than a certain person designed for them during his time with them (you can see a similarity between the imperials and the designers own of the shelf shoes) unfortunately Cheaneys are fading out the 208 last for the imperial in favor of a new last that l'm not as fond of. I will make a point to try a pair or two from Paris, Spain and Hungary this year starting with a trip to Paris where i will also try there suits as i do love the way the French do there solders. Cant believe i gave a French product a complement over a English one, but as you have also given your fair share of compliments to the English. Been meaning to send you a Message Thanking you for your videos as you can never imagine how much they helped me out of a time of server struggle, when i had almost seemed to have lost my passion for anything, two pacific videos that come to mind.

    Had to pause at 2:25 and comment. Yes, my addiction after the first pair has grown more so than my wife's. I would never spend more than 80 dollars on a pair of shoes. Now I'm spending minimum of 400 per pair. I'm addicted to quality and craftsmanship. I love it! Thank you for this informative video that I haven't watched all the way through yet. I've just begun my journey with 2 pairs of shoes and 1 boot.

Recently I bought my first above average pair of shoes (a pair of Johnston and Murphy) and when I was in the store I recommended your channel to the person that helped me, so he could learn the different styles of shoes. And it does get addictive to buy quality shoes XD Thank you and Sonya for your incredible work and dedication

    Meermin Shell Cordovan comes from two sources: Italian and Japanese. The Italian shell creases so it isn't shell. The Japanese is long lasting and has an amazing patina and shine. Unfortunately, it is very stiff and it will eventually crack even with good care. Meermin's soles wear as tough as JR soles. Regardless of the cracking Meermin Japanese shell is a great value, buy casual styles and wear them without worry they can take the scuffs.

    I agree with your comment regarding Hugo, 100%. I'm part of the natural bodybuilding community. I'm wondering why bodybuilders, or at least the ones I've known and seen, and this would include myself up until the last year, don't put more effort into style,....other than gym gear. You would think they would be at the forefront in some ways. They strive for health and aesthetics of the body, but seem to stop there, most of them. It's too bad.
