I just bought a pair of RM Williams Blaxland Boots (in my mind theire best option) in a dark brown suede. Gonna be my winter boot together with the C&J Conniston in Rough Out Suede. I'm looking forward to rock the hell out of these!
Great choices! I think that probably is the best RM boot honestly, I got the Kanga which is a close 2nd for me. And yeah that Conni is one of the nicest boots out there! I always look at a pair for myself. Enjoy them! Let me know how you go!
Great video Sam! I learnt so much
My guy! It has been too long. Appreciate you and so happy to hear you learnt something.
This is so true. As i get older (and my taste get more expensive lmao) i think about what is the most versatile that can be worn more times than for one specific event or reason.
But my goodness sometimes i slip 😂
Funny how those correlate! More expensive or objectively better? Hopefully the latter lol.
That "buy it for the event" thing always makes me cringe. But there almost isnt a good option sometimes. e.g. my pair of Aquila Patent loafers. Which I would only use for a Tux (seriously irregularly). It seemed wasteful in that instance to spend >$500 on a pair.
@@jessupsays so true man. Speaking of Aquila, how do you rate their quality? I feel like they are way overpriced nowadays for subpar quality and material.
@@dickwintered If I'm being honest, they don't even deserve a rating. Even their premium stuff (which is maybe Blake stitched) has some of the worst leather I've ever seen. Its like painted cardboard lol. I wouldn't pay more than what they're worth ($60-80) If you've looking at comparable global options. Man reading this is harsh, but also true. At $200+ its a laughable cash grab. I feel if I made a video about them it would be tooooo scathing hahaha. The ones I referenced have been worn once for 1 day (a wedding) and the sole is fkd already.
@@jessupsays yes! Omg. Glad you agree with me. I cannot believe how much they gauge up the price for not much essence. I feel bad for all the men out there who already feel uncomfortable enough with fashion, walking into Aquila thinking theyre being fashionable and spending a lot on shoes that are marketed as premium, but are getting shit house products.
Although, maybe, you should do a "scathing review" episode HAHA - or maybe not - keep your doors open hey you never know who might want to sponsor you :)
Hahaha it's more that any publicity is good publicity. I don't want that haha. But maybe it is worth a think how I could phrase it without it being about them specifically. Food for thought 🤔🤔 but yeah man. It's awful. Garbage, expensive and won't last. It's a sad scam. Maybe another article coming hahaha 🤣
Was gon buy some hokas but I have too much running shoes and footwear in general
What did you end up getting!?
I think amazing really. I wear Magnanni shoes that seem to use this. Love them and the brand itself is excellent.
I've seen Magnanni but never heard of the construction! I'm going to have to find some to try
Thank you
Would love to know your thoughts!
@@jessupsays I’m trying to find myself a pair of Crockett loafers but impossible to try on as can’t find a store with the range for my size 12 ish foot. Then I can’t decide between leather or city rubber
I'll have to find someone who makes them or gets Magnanni in locally. If I do I will come back to this thread!
Ah! Trying on locally is such a big win, but short of that I've sent traces of both feet to Crockett and Jones directly by their contact page and asked for sizing advice, which is the size I use to today. I'm on the opposite end (6.5) but on either end of the curve its always a concerning point for sizing.
What kind of climate do you live in? I've heard great things about the City soles, and I'd be keen to try them as they are softer and more grippy than other rubbers out there (From what I've read/ heard). Saying that, if in a mostly dry country, leather is always going to be my go-to.
you have been blessed by the algorithm
And your comment. Thank you sir!
Have you heard of Bologna constructions ?
I honestly had not! But after a quick Google they look like they'd be very comfortable, similar to a Blake stitch. What's your experience with it?
I’ve done this three times with one repeated item. Navy suede loafers. Literally bought 3 iterations before I admitted that they’re just not practical. Love looking at them though
Hahaha 🤣 man have we all been there?! Glad it got home. Some items just look better on other people. It's hard to admit to ourselves! Haha least it is for me
@@jessupsays yep sold off some Edward Green Ravenstone model in a reddish Utah! Looked way better on the slim dude who bought them than me lols😂
@@ianarnsuch is the way, i hope they went to a good home! Hahaha, we learn these things.
(my first pair were very similar looking hahaha, from Bakers UK) early 2010s.
@@jessupsays We enjoy these things but it’s best that they get at least some wear envy year at least! Unless it’s something like a black Oxford useful for particular events or a very Conservative office but there’s not many environments like that anymore.
