- In this new edition of Sartorial Talks, Hugo welcomes his friend Justin Fitzpatrick, the founder of the worldwide famous blog The Shoe Snob and of the eponymous quality shoes brand J. Fitzpatrick Footwear.
This is the first part of a 3 parts series recorded with the Shoe Snob. This episode is focusing on Justin's inspiring and fascinating entrepreneurial journey: from a kid born in Seattle who loved shoes to a successful entrepreneur who left everything behind to fly to Italy to learn the art of shoemaking with shoemaker extraordinaire Stefano Bemer and then moved to Savile Row in London to become the patina artist at Gieves and Hawkes. An inspiring talk with a bona fide shoe snob...

Just going through America airports, and driving through a large midwestern state university, I have to say that this man is right about us Americans. We've gone from dressing okay, to dressing so poorly that I cannot find the words. It's actually shocking to the eyes. It's as if people rolled out of bed in whatever dirty clothes they slept in or found laying next to their beds,.... and then just walked outside.
I wish this discussion was longer! I can listen to you both for hours!
Wow 😮
Thank you Hugo, Justin is very kind reviewing other brands, I think that his goal to promote the classic shoe industry is very generous, he has taught a lot a lot of people about shoes. I follow you and Justin for several years. Congrats
Brilliant to see Justin on Sartorial Talks, such an interesting journey to get to this point. Can not wait to see episode 2.
I have a Justin Fitzpatrick shoe from 2014. One of the first. A black windermere. Still looking good.
My gf and I are deligthed that you have brought Justin to your talk. Your sincere and healthy enthusiasm for shoes is inspiring. Thank you very much.
What a story of passion !!!!! much much respect to Justin,,,and i can't wait for the second episode to discover his own shoes,,,,,Thanks dear Hugo for such inspiring episodes ,,,Much love & respect to Justin, you & dear Sonya from Cairo.
Thank you Hugo and Justin. So nice to experience this story filled with life lessons. Bravo! Blessings from Las Vegas where I'm visiting with friends
Quel joli parcours, avoir pu rencontrer 3 - 4 personnes clefs pour monter sa propre vision et carrière. Bravo à lui.
Great talk… I met Mr. Fitzpatrick (very briefly) doing his shoe-shining gig some years ago while touring G&H… I was attending the shoemaking course with Carreducker and it was part of a class field trip. Great to witness how his journey has progressed. Salut!
Hugo and his wife Sonya are legendary . Very knowledgeable in our business. Respect .
This is a great story and Mr. Fitzpatrick is a very impressive man.
I would usually watch the whole video and then comment, but after 30 minutes I felt the compulsion to pause the video and make my thoughts known:
Admirable guy. I would buy his shoes, not only coz of how beautiful they are but because the man himself is worth looking up to.
Justin’s story is one of “if you don’t ask, you don’t get” what a story
Ah - this is the collab I’ve been waiting for. I discovered Hugo in a clip discussing JF, and thus, discovered JF. Can’t wait to delve in. Thanks to you both. Cheers!
Great interview, thank you Hugo and Sonya. Justin, as a fellow American and lover of shoes/clothes, I'm rooting for your success! I've also learned a lot from your blog; in fact, it was the first source I found for information about fine shoes and shoes care. Thank you for sharing your passion with all of us!
If you build it, they will come 😂 and so the blog was born thanks Justin for being a pioneer.
Truely enjoyed your story Justin, thank you Hugo 👏
