$200 Shoes Transformed Into $2000 Shoes (Meermin)

  • Опубликовано: 24 мар 2023
  • In this video, we take on the challenge of turning this $200 pair of dress shoes into a pair of 4-figure shoes $$$$. For most bespoke shoes, it's all of the little details that add up in price. In this makeover, we take this pair of Meermin oxfords and add as many "bespoke" options as we can in order to make this pair of shoes go up in price.

      Was at their shop last week on my way through Nashville to Knoxville. Both are very nice guys and southern gentlemen. Also met the fellow that works for them. Was looking for a pair of their men's flip flop sandals. Still not quite available as yet.

    Hi Fellas! I can't believe I'm still able to say after all these years this but once again, you've taken your videos to an all new level that I didn't think possible.
    It's just astounding the details you're able to achieve after so many years in business. I'm so proud of the time and effort you spend improving your business fellas.
    Bravo and we'll done my friends

    Great job! The sad part is that very few people would notice the difference. Now I know what to look for. Kind of like how I look at craftsmanship in a house when I go into it. You can tell when someone knew what they were doing and put the effort into making something beautiful. Thanks.

    looking all your videos since few months. this is really good content. i started to buy goodyear welted boots since then and it changed everything. it feel incredible to have a boot you can resole for a fraction of the price of a new one,
    p.s. i'm from quebec, canada.
    your influence is worldwide.
    be proud of what your doing. a lot of people are learning from your videos.

    I really enjoy your videos, but I was surprised that $2000 shoes actually existed. I would ask, why, but I realize conspicuous consumption is a real thing. I'm an engineer though, and value function over cost. Thanks for the video, I love the craftsmanship you bring to your work.

  • @simonmandrakejones
    @simonmandrakejones Год назад +3

    I own a few pairs of Meermin shoes...They are always a tough break in, but good value for the money. I like that they have veg-tan insoles, which are really comfortable after break-in. Finishing isn't always perfect.
    So I am happy to see that these weren't terrible when you broke them down.

    Saving up the cash to get three pairs of my dress shoes sent down for some refurbishing. After watching this video I want them done even more. After looking through my collection of shoes, most of my dress oxfords already have that shaped heel. My love of well made shoes just went through the roof.

    Really enjoyed this project a lot. It's nice to see what can be done with a good quality shoe. Those turned out very nice, giving them that spaded sole look, the build up of the sheet cork to fashion that fiddle back waist. Nice/tight tpi stitching (sore hands at day's end), and hidden at the bottom. Loved seeing the Lulu tip going back on, nice two-tone dye on the soles and extra use of the decorative wheels. The appearance of a slight lift to the heel and angled just a bit, loved it. The question, how much to make a $200 shoe look like a $2000 shoe? Nice work there fellers.

    I remember Trent doing a couple videos on how, what kind, ( not Kiwi! ) to properly use waxes. You always stress the importance of conditioning the upper, color if necessary and finally using a quality protective coating.
