From Wishoeguy
Throughout my shoe buying journey I’ve been told how hard wholecuts are to make. Derbies, oxfords and then the illusive seamless. As I said in the video a shoemaker had an $800 up charge for this distinction because it’s hard. I know many shoemakers who post their first Wholecut pair. It’s very exciting.
Enter Blkbrd who is able to offer them at one crazy price. I had to try. Let me know what you think.
Can someone explain to me how this man doesn’t have >250k subs??? Outstanding content.
They look great. I like that the last is not overly pointy like we find in a lot of European makers. That makes your foot look silly and extra long. These feel like a more natural design, less extreme, slightly more casual and easy to wear.
totally agree. I got one recently
i think the more pointy the more edgy it looks
True. They have to be balanced.
Very cool and interesting. I actually ordered a pair of seamless wholecuts and look forward to trying them out in a few weeks.
Very cool. Let me know what you think.
I do like them. I like the color is darker than the website. I have these in purple.
I recently got a pair from Blkbrd in the Constance Seamless in Black Zonta Calf. The quality of construction is of the highest quality. The leather itself is better than the Weinheimer that is found in most Spanish brands. The fit is very snug akin to the fit found in the top Italian brands. Well worth the money
Fantastic value. I don’t think we can be nitpicky at this price at all. However for someone with a…let’s say “robust” collection, the quality of leather would certainly deter me. I just worry how they’re gonna look after 10 wears.
That’s what I bought them for. So we can see
I own a relatively cheap pair of boots, bought from Herring a few years ago. They were made in India and are a combination of hatch grain and lined smooth calf leather in the shaft and higher parts of the foot.
I mention this because the smooth leather has a soft, almost spongy feel and looks like this shoe does as far as texture is concerned. It is definitely not loose grain but definitely more give in the leather than you typically find in European footwear.
I quite like it personally and it is comfortable.
They are very comfortable and it’s understandable that loose grain has the connotation that it’s belly leather but I think tanneries also have different grades based on the actual cow. EG (and I’m no expert) dairy cattle have much looser skin than beef cattle. Perhaps that is part of it. leather is so complicated that I think it’s best to focus on comfort and durability. This ticks both those boxes. That said, GG wouldn’t use this nor would I be happy if they did.
I agree with other commenters, a 270 welt should be the default on these.
India haryana panipat me h ys no
Beautiful shoe india me available h price plz
They’re under $300. Check out their website.
It's absolutely crazy how cheap this brand is. Even leaving aside the whoelcuts (which, at 300-400 ish AUD, is dirt cheap anyway) they sell hand welted boots for less than 300 AUD which seems just insane. There must be some sort of catch, right?
Anyway, how would you say these compare to Meermin?
The construction is as good as Meermin on their best day and with four pairs I had no issues. (Take that with a grain of salt since the owner checked them). Compared to Meermin LM the leather is not quite as good on the upper but is comparable on the inside construction. They’re upgrading their uppers which will give Meermin a run for their money.
In the end, they’re 50-80% the cost but the designs are different. The last design is something I’d like to see improve. Meermin last are so close to Carmina which really has a lot of value for how they look. blkbrd needs to be unique and not copy (Meermin doesn’t copy but the family is related so they’re influenced… probably same education etc) and come up with the elegance of the big firms. Once they do that, along with the upgraded materials, they can play well on the international shoe stage. They may never be a AM or StC, but with original lasts and a competitive price point they can capture share below that in the HW space.
@@wishoeguy Alright, thanks for the detailed reply. I just ordered my first pair of Meermins a couple of days ago and found these online shortly after. Next time I'm buying shoes, I'll definitely try these.
How are these holding up? At this price point these seem almost too good to be true

Would love an update on these shoes :)
I haven’t had them long enough to do a full review but you can check out my Instagram to see the last couple wears or my recent video on creasing where they are featured.

I need to see a 270 GYW and a tapered heel.
There are many things I look at with this shoe once I get over my awe at the value of what’s there for the price. I think it’s an incredible step but agree that a tapered and tight heel (on the 270) would add something special.
You can alter these changes through contacting them via email. I ordered mine and changed it to 270 degree welt
Looking to buy my first pair of shell cordovan oxfords or bluchers. Have been looking at enzo bonafe’s recently. Do you have any recommendations on something that I should put my eyes on?
There are so many cool styles. I would take a look at a reputable dealer and pick your fav style and then save up and order them. Don’t get excited about these prices. These are the 50% deposit for calf. Cordovan is about double. www.shopmehra.com/collections/enzo-bonafe-shoes
why is this so hard to do?
I’m not a shoemaker but as it’s been explained to me when you close the back with a seam it’s much easier to last the shoe without damaging it because the stitching has a little stretch. There is also that they have to cut. The piece just so that they can make it go around each area with no bunching. So you’re taking a single sheet of leather and wrapping it around a last without bunching … the cuts and the amount of stretch must be precise. I’ve seen several posts of folks in school trying to do this and ruining several uppers in the process.
@@wishoeguy wow cool
The colour and the construction are great but there appear to be blemishes in the toe region or was it the reflection? Will be keen to hear your thoughts once you've put these shoes to their paces.
It wasn’t a blemish in the leather. Just the polish.
