I purchased a pair after watching this review and I am in love. They are so well made, beyond comfortable and a great value. I had purchased a pair of Seychelles boots in a similar style & price last year compared to the Beckett and the Seychelles are already worn out and you can tell a huge difference in quality. I expect to own the beckets for many years
I bought a pair last year. They’re well crafted, just be aware it took months to ship
Thanks so much for the detailed and thorough review. We love your work and we're beyond ecstatic to see you like our products! However, there is a small clarification regarding the term "Vachetta leather."
The leather we use in our shoe linings is a specialized variation of Vachetta leather. While Vachetta leather is commonly associated with handbags and is a somewhat broad term, our application involves a combination of tanning processes as you mentioned. We utilize a blend of both vegetable tanning and a mineral retanning method.
The vegetable tanning process imparts a natural and untreated appearance to the leather. It also lays the foundation for long-term durability. Subsequently, the mineral retanning process is employed to enhance the leather's softness and suppleness. This combination of tanning methods was chosen to optimize the leather's performance in shoe linings, ensuring comfort and longevity.
It's important to highlight that the inclusion of mineral retanning is crucial for this type of application. Had we relied solely on vegetable tanning, the leather would be stiffer and less ideal for the flexible and supple characteristics required in a shoe lining. This unique blend of tanning processes allows us to strike a harmonious balance between structural integrity and a luxuriously soft feel.
Thanks again for your invaluable examination and analysis of our Dean Oxfords. Your positive comments mean the world to us.
Best regards,
Beckett Simonon
thank you for the clarification. very classy response. i am so thankful to have found a high quality shoe. beautiful. i showed my husband and we are ordering!
@@ericaanderson9587 No problem. Thank you so much for trusting our brand!
@@beckettsimonon8810thank you for your response. your company is first class. even down to the responses. you truly care about your clients
How long does it take to receive shoes?
@@nikoLFL783 Hi! Since our shoes are made to order in small batches, the shoes will be delivered in March if you order them today.
Cool, now buy a pair anonymously and see if they sent you a ringer pair
This
This is a valid complaint I have of others who have reviewed the product that had been sent in. But bro, I own 2 pairs. I can not stop talking about how comfortable, well made, and nice they look. I love them, as an entry level shoe. Not the end all. Only because they are Blake stitched with a Texon insole. Not what you want from a shoe that you will need to have repaired by a cobbler. So I'm gonna run my shoes into the ground and save up to get Allen Edmonds or Carmias
Let me make something clear about the Blake stitch construction. *IT IS NOT A BAD THING!* The problem with it, is that the insole is stitching the welt to the insole and other layers. Your local cobbler *WILL* be able to repair them *NO* problem! But only once, or twice! *BECAUSE* they have a Texon insole (sythetic). *IF* it was leather then your cobbler could just replace the leather insole (once worn out or repaired more than once; this varies) and you can repair them to your hears content. But because the material is synthetic and blake stitched, it creates an issue. But dude, everything else is premium, soft, comfortable, and amazing smelling calf skin leather. *AND* they have a sale right now 319 dollars for 2 pairs! You can not beat that for a hand made, leather shoe.
a few things to clarify, Blake stitch construction does not have a welt, so the construction is sewn directly through the upper, insole and outsole. 1 stitch, 3 layers. Which has the same limitations as you alluded to because any resoling requires breaking that 1 stitch.
Replacing the insole of any shoe, welted or Blaked, is quite the activity as it completely dissembles the upper and shape of the shoe. I’d say 90% of cobblers doing resoling jobs are not changing the insole, midsole or welt (when present) but rather breaking the outsole stitch and replacing the outsole.
Either way, Blake, Blake rapid, GYW and Handwelted are all traditional shoemaking methods with ideal uses. There are benefits to the more intricate techniques but for the broader consumer, bare minimum should be using a Blake construction and ideally should get a GYW shoe for the longevity of repairability.
Gorgeous! On my wishlist.
Thank you for the review!
Would love to see a Giuseppe Zanotti shoe on this channel
Wow. I’m gonna give these a try.
I have several pairs of this brand's shoes and boots. They are all amazingly well made and yes, it takes up to four months to get them after you order. They are worth the wait, though.
Would love to see your review on Crown Northampton also
Another request for Red Wing Boots review 😊.
Appreciate your videos, thank you!
This is a great brand. I can't get them delivered to NZ so I get people to bring them back if they have luggage space
I have two pair of Beckett Simonon boots currently in transit. Three month wait. Looking forward to trying them on.
I have a pair of dress shoes, a pair of boots and three pairs of sneakers (as I type this, I'm waiting on a fourth pair), and they are excellent shoes. Great true to size fit (I'm a 10.5D on a Brannock device, but you wouldn't believe how widely different brands fit - I'm an 11 in some and a 9.5 in others). Great leather, top-tier craftsmanship, amazing customer service, and I love the signed cards that their staff include with each order.
My shoe box came in as a dark Olive color. They must have changed it in the past months or so. For anyone wondering, yes these shoes are actually amazing. I have owned them for 2 days now and broke one pair in. Incredibly comfortable. but there are cons! 1 Blake stitch with texon which just means it can't really be repaired more than once. and the finish, there are parts under the embordering where you can see the color did not reach. However! both shoes match perfect in color. Honestly it is a must buy for your first real handmade leather shoes! Their sale is still happening $319 USD for 2 shoes. Pretty incredible deal. basically 160 a shoe, and for how much leather you get and how nice they are, and the customer care and support. That's a steal.

I'd love to see a review of Solovair or Velasca.
I would love for you to do our legacy’s camion boots. There’s lots of hype around them
Great review great content as always I just don’t like shoes that have the stitching coming through to the sole
@@tanner.leatherstein you as so very talented
you miss crucial review points for someone that wants to buy these shoes
1. what insole material does it use
2. what toe and heel stiffener material
3. what material is the heel stack
Fully cardboard and synthetic not the best and that annoy me, because he said they are the best....
This is all information that I was able to find on their website.
Damn. Thats quality for the price.
I bought two pairs of monk straps after watching this video. They are amazing. Extremely well made and beautiful shoes that fetch a lot of compliments. These are comfortable to wear and will last me years. It took 2 months to get them but it was worth it!
You should review George Cleverly.
Just got my pair
I love it already
I've been looking for good quality leather shoes that won't leave me in debt and this seems like a good direction. Thanks mr Tanner.
I've had a pair for a couple of years. I have a lot of shoes so I don't wear them every day or anything but I really like them. Very comfortable and the sizing is true to size.
I own a pair of Beckett simonon. Very good quality to price ratio. I only thing I don't like about it is the shape, it's a little too round for my taste.
Can you please review Berluti brands in your future videos? Very curious of your opinion on the leathers that they use
@@tanner.leatherstein thank you so much! Love your contents. As a man, I would love to see more of your reviews on the luxury dress shoes brands. Much appreciate it!
Can you recommend a designer sneaker or non-designer that's worth the price? Thank you.
Hey I love your videos! Would love to know in your opinion which shoe brands and designer bag brands offer the best quality for your money. After watching you deconstruct so many bags I dont know what to buy anymore thats actually worth it :(
Merhaba Vulcan. I was wondering if you can make video about Thursday Boot Company boots or sneakers on some point ;) Thank you so much for what you doing!
Can you review Paraboot shoes?
Çok kaliteli görünüyor, fiyatı da iyiymiş. Listeye ekledim
Does this type of shoe need to be taken to a cobbler to have a rubber sole attached to protect the leather sole and prevent you from slipping when wearing the shoes?
Hi there! Yes, you can take the shoes to your local cobbler if you'd like to have more traction on your shoes since most of our shoes have leather soles.
Can we get a good woman’s leather shoe red?
What is that shoes brand?
Can these be used on wet streets? Can you wax the bottom?
No cork in the midsole?
It's blake-stitched, it doesn't have that gap where you would put the cork as it's not welted.
Please review womens leather boots made by the brand: Clarks.
did you even walk on them?....I would love to know if they were confortable
How? He tore them up.
And brand new they’re not broken in
That is how you give a full review in my opinion..the leather will be good still to form an opinion on quality of the leather...AND also if they are comfortable..as everyone knows NOT all leather shoes are comfortable when worn ..no matter how many times you use them...That is what I mean....@@chanhjohnnguyen1867
Do Carmina shoemaker
Mine crease like crazy and the grain is loose.
It's a shame they only send in the US
I feel i wanna cry when he cut open the shoes 😢it’s painful
review real mccoy leather jacket
You never said the brand!
Please don't equate marketing with cheating. High quality brands also do marketing. You do marketing yourself.
Chill out 😅
Calm down u corpo
call it fluffy lies then, not fluffy marketing@@tanner.leatherstein
nobody's asking you@@4ndy123
They mostly use ‘Blake’ stitching, which is much more difficult to resole than ‘Goodyear’…not anywhere near the value the video claims…
I'm so sorry to not be agree but these are not the best pair of shoes, their leather isn't the best quality, yes they are full grain aham but not the best one, their interior is fully cardboard so how can you say that they are best shoes you ever reviewed? Synthetic heel counter Synthetic toe? Common it sounds weird to me, even cordobes have much more better materials, I know their finishing is the worst but.... don't say they are the best...
