Hugo, thank you again for the opportunity to do this video with you! I hope everyone finds it to be helpful and informative. Cheers!

Great work guys. The problem is a lot of young people and also not so young are not educated about quality shoes and the entire process of shoe making art. I discovered this world recently and I'm in love. It is an art , mastery and quality materials.

Wonderful collaboration. Will take a look at these options! "The big elephant in the porcelain shop" - Hugo Jacomet. Quotes that only Hugo can pull off haha

Lemargo, Officine Creative, Untamed Street, Franceschetti. To me, these 4 brands (all made in Montegranaro) are the quintessential of under the radar brands in that price range (leaning more towards 400-500). Incredible quality and style, and they're never mentioned

@4:56 "Stop giving your money too Ralph L..." both Trenton and Heath wear a Ralph Lauren shirt haha :)

Hugo, this is great to see you in America 🇺🇸. Trenton and Heath are both great cobblers. Work together. Bring men's fashion, suits and shoes, back home to America. Business is open.

Thank you for this video. I have seen some of their videos which were most informative. Lovely to watch another Sartorial talks. Despite the nearly one hour I always find them too short! No, I do not wish you to work harder! It is a testament to the quality of content!

Thank you so much for this amazing video, Hugo and Sonya. Your guests are always so delightful to hear. Hugs!

Another great talk. I love watching these Gents and it is good to see all of you together

This video becomes a Guide , for SHOE enthusiasts great effort , much of experience & knowledge offered by these brilliant guys

I just commented on another video that I found your channel yesterday. I can’t believe you were in Columbia. I live only 15 minutes away from there and own a house there were my mom lives. I really hope to visit great places like this!

Great Video Gentlemen, I myself own a few of these brands that were discussed and Carmina Shoemaker and TLB Mallorca would be my 2 favorites.

Good discussion. I have been watching these fellows talk shoes for the last year or so and good to see three true experts gathered at this mini summit of footwear.

Thank you gentlemen from here in Wales. A nice knowledgable combination of the old world and the new. Some interesting brands that Hugo has presented elsewhere but great insight from our American friends. Quite impressed with the Cobbler Union loafers. Again, thank you for this interesting video.

fantastic video. greatly appreciated. exactly what I needed. Thank you

I just started the episode and I’m so excited to see Trenton and Heath! I already love this!

My Dad gave me a pair of quality shoes over ten years ago. At the time I knew nothing about shoes which weren’t running shoes. The shoes my father gave me, I think that they were probably Loakes, made me feel happier and a little more elegant. M.

Two of my favourite channels in one. There is a difference between style and wearing clothes. You both nail it. @Trenton&Heath

Another great video and thanks for talking about Carlos Santos shoes. From Portugal, congratulations for your amazing channel.

Hi Hugo, I enjoyed the mention of the quality of some excellent Ties available now, post COVID. There are some wonderful high quality ties that stand out above the rest due to the elimination of bulk tie makers. It’s exciting to find a fantastic tie. It’s in someways a lost art, but people notice. Love your channel as always. Now I have to search if you’ve done a Tie segment or two :)

Fantastic video, as usual. Will definitely check out the list. Thank you!

Very informative guys. Thanks.

Hugo and Sonya; Trenton and Heath, thank you. As I watch this, I'm about to travel from Bristol to London in 8 hours or to the London Super Truck show 2022 Shoe - shoegazing! Boy am I looking forward to it :-) Thank you. Tony

Thank you guys! loads of knowledge and expertise.

Didn't know about their channel so thanks for the introduction. Funny to hear a discussion with a mix of French and Southern accents. Luckily I've lived in Geneva and grew up in Florida, so I understood you both perfectly!! Kudos to Sonya for the camera work!

Hugo, Love this video and love the one you did about the watches!

Wow. Great! Fascinating. Thank you all.

Merci monsieur Hugo and to ur wonderful guests.

Thank you for the content, keep the good work, big fan.

Very well produced, thank you. M.

I agree because of channels like this we are far more educated. I am very thankful!

Hugo thank you for these videos. Learning a lot about fashion from your videos, may become a savant one day.

Took me a while to get used to seeing Hugo without a jacket 😅 - very unusual for him. Great content as always!

Finally! Was eagerly waiting for a video. Hugo, please do a video on top suits under $1000 budget. We know common names like Suit Supply, Spier & Mackay, Indochino, etc. But it would be great to know about other bespoke suit tailors.

hey i knew these guys.. i am already a subscriber of trenton and heath.. i love watching them repairing shoes..

another quality video from hugo and the team!

I love you’re channel! I know you have gotten questions about why you don’t talk about more important things than clothing in the past. And I think you represent more than you give yourself credit for We see more labor trafficking and pollution in the world today than ever before, it’s just been outsourced. So no one talks about WHY are their shoes so cheap. WHY are your shirts 5$? The materials are worth the same amount. People just aren’t getting paid along the way. And when you cut on quality, more gets thrown away. So when you you promote quality craftsmanship you promote fair trade products that will last. So it’s not that these products are expensive, it’s just surprising when you learn the true price of things. And it’s been a fun journey to begin. And something I can feel proud of as I slowly save up and get each piece along the way and comforting to know I won’t have to replace them again every year; as Trenton and Heath pointed out.

Totally agreed, Money doesn't always buy style and taste.

Wow, two of my favorite KZfaq channel people/ in one place!!!!!!! Satorial/shoe excellence!!!!!!

Incredible episode perfect for Fri nite. Hugo, will you be doing an episode on high quality minimalist sneaker at some point?

I bought a pair of Meermin and a pair of Grensons this year. Both are excellent and I love them.

I was wearing mostly Designer Sneakers until I got into good leather shoes and now interested in Suits and Tailoring. It starts with good shoes.

Hi Hugo I love your channel, I joined recently. I’m 74 , any episode on older men elegant way to dress according to age?

So awesome! Been buying from Herring, Pediwear cheaney barker and carlos santos. Awesome brands

First of all, great collaboration! Hugo is like the enciclopedia of dress shoes! Trenton & Heath are like the surgeons of dress shoes! Have a question, does anyone know which shoe maker came up with the black shoe on the first row from left to right on this video’s thumbnail? Thanks

Id love it if you could have a look at the brand Bridlen, ive tried them myself and I have to say its probably the best shoe I've seen to come out of India , id say they're as good as CNES or Fugashin if not better (depending on taste of course). As always, great video hugo, looking forward for the shoes book still :)

I just noticed the two brothers present! I like those young men, they are great! Semper Fi

I'm glad you mentioned Lottusse, I think they are really underrated these days. I own 2 pairs and their quality is comparable if not better than many other brands.

One word: OUTSTANING! Semper Fi

Really excellent video!

This video is so helpful because I struggle to find well made shoes, particularly at reasonable prices. It is also as you all said that a good pair of leather shoes not only confer confidence but comfort. As you said, many larger brands can sell shoes with reduced quality at higher prices. My biggest issue, though, is finding shoes for extra wide feet (EEEE), a genetic inheritance that is so much trouble. Any suggestions? Many of these shoemakers may only have D width or EE at most. Allen & Edmonds is not bad, but I was hoping to find different styles, such as seen on Meermin, Beckett & Simonon, and Crockett & Jones.

ohhh nice Hugo to see with them, i saw their shoe restoration

Bridlen, Unmarked and Taft are all worth checking out within that price point.

Thanks for this video, it was very informative, I love a good pair of quality shoes. I checked all the brands discussed and only a few of them carry women shoes. I already know a few brands thanks to your videos, but would like to have more options and more guidance to buy a good quality pair of women shoes, so I hope there will be a video like this for women shoes one day :) I watched a video Sonia made related to the subject, but was mainly Lottuse and unfortunately they don't ship to Canada :'(

I purchased a pair of Carlos Santos boots from herringshoes and I'm very impressed with the last and quality of construction. They make some very stylish boots.

I love the content that you provide, love the show, and keep up the great work. would you advise where I could purchase vintage, used boots other than eBay or amazon? I'm looking for a pair of the Taft Gladiator boot in chocolate, Is there an online retailer that sells these boots

Oh my god what a great team! I follow their channel and they’ve helped me a lot in my shoe education. It’s a better crossover than any Marvel film!

By the way, your viewers in France and else where in the francophonie can't wait to see you for another Discussions Sartoriale from that room at Burgundy 😁😁😁😅. Lovers of french language would relate

Id love to know what are the best socks to wear with bespoke or high quality shoes...

Very good was this update about men"s shoes production quality and styles. It is and that must be said again and again for the workers who make these shoes a breadless job, the earnings are and have always been poor. For example, a lawyer earns 500 Dollars an hour and the shoemaker works a whole month for 500 Dollars. Young people therefore see no future in this business because it is something like dying out. In cities the shoemakers have disappeared because the rents have become too expensive. For me the best shoemakers are the western boot makers, which is the most beautiful craft among the shoemakers, but it is dying out. Boots will soon only come from factories and most of them from China. Thanks you all, I love your videos with this old craft art.

a properly useful video! thank you! Agree on Cheaney, I have a nice pair of Oxfords from them that have lasted beautifully. I also have a pair of Church Oxfords bought in 2009 (Prada sale was 1999 I think), a gift from my wife so won't complain too much, but they are just not as good as their price would imply. I still wear them but they have never broken in properly - a full day wearing them and I get blisters below my toes - never mind that the oxblood colour began scraping off on the side of the heels (and not in a nice patina way) within a year. They were sent back to Church by the shop who fully agreed with me, but Church said it was my own fault because of the way I walk and refused to do anything. nonsense of course, no other shoes of mine have had the same problem. they lost me as a customer forever. The shop offered a refund so no blame on them, but out of loyalty to the shop I kept them. Most people would never notice the flaw, however it boils my blood a little when I think about it - I'll only ever buy Church again if I find them for under €20 in a charity shop.

Hello.i really enjoy your videos.i need a wide shoe,but British shoes don't list wides.what do I do.Thank you.

Thank u guys for providing great footwear insights. Is there any quality shoes coming out of Turkey? Seeing some " bespoke" claims by manufacturers there ? Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Aaron H. - Toronto , Canada.

I’ve slept on this channel for so long, but now I’m literally addicted to Hugo’s smooth voice 😂. Thank you for quality content. I’m bingeing Satorial Talks for now.

Hugo Jacomet plus Trenton & Heath , real power .

Hi Hugo, great as always. As the owner of a main and creative reseller online shop of Carlos Santos, it makes me happy to see how you value them. There are many different lines: Sport (sneakers and trainers) Blake/Bologna Premium Blake (new with a super tight waist) Goodyear Welted (Carlos Santos) Handgrade Line Handcrafted Line Wish you were at the super trunk show in London this weekend! It was a pleasure meeting amazing people once more. I have owned most of the shoes on this list and I would agree with most of them!

Thank you for mentioning them.

Thanks!

Awesome. I know now who to send my shoes to. My old Italian cobbler died recently😢

Hi, what do you think of Floris van bommel?

This video was so french and so north american at the same time, gotta love that!

Hugo when I search a shoe quality I make sure that the shoes are made of leather uppers. I also make there not seam shown on one side on the outside of the shoe. What other qualities should I be looking for?

Is there a consensus opinion on Beckett and Simonon shoes?

Is there any chance you could do a video on wide toe box shoes?

Can you kindly advise what is the title of the book on the table?

Dear Hugo and Trenton and Heath, Amazing video... I couldn't stop laughing and pushed the like button just when you said "It's like an orgasm for them". Hugo, I must say all shoe companies mentioned have their place, design aesthetic and value. I have tried and known almost all of them but it must be said that J. Fitzpatrick, what he makes and delivers is something in a league of it's own. His finishing and durability have been quite a conversion factor for some people I know. I have still not tried TLB but hopefully that will also change soon. But in my opinion Justin makes shoes that have true value for money. I mean I sometimes cannot believe that the shoe I am seeing is worth $375 or $475. I myself don't but my father owns a lot of shoes from Cleverly and I do polish them for him sometimes and I always wonder that there are many quality elements present in J. Fitzpatrick line as well. It is always great to see someone putting in so much hard work in for what they are passionate about. Just wanted to share my thoughts and for the record I do love many other brands mentioned in the video as well. I Wish You All the Best..

I enjoyed the conversation. I'm a little concerned about sizing. How would one acquire a size measurement that would convey to all of these shoe makers?

How many/which of these suggested offer width options? Like many, I’ve not been pleased with AE but have, to some extent begrudgingly, bought from them due to their selection of widths/last. Suggestions?

This collaboration is so beautiful ❤️❤️

“Second foot” 😂 Fantastic

Hi, Hugo. Would like to know what you think of Spier & Mackay shoes sometime. Similar price point and quite elegant lasts imo.

I got some shoes from Vienna Schuhmanufaktur for around 300 Euro (I think their production is in Hungary). Excellent quality for this low price, and I was surprised to see they also move into sneaker production.

Dear Hugo what you think about Bally shoes..they are made in Switzerland..and insole is made in Italy..Thanks Hugo im from Malaysia 🇲🇾

You enrich the viewers education and encourage them to expand their awareness and appreciation towards small investments that can enhance their quality of life. Greetings from Bogota, Colombia, South America.

Bonjour, Hugo. Thank you for another wonderful video. When is it appropriate to have a rubber sole rather than a leather sole on a dress shoe? The other day, I noticed a rubber sole on a beautiful oxblood derby with brouging. Merci.

Hi, Great video as always. Very interesting and informative. Recently, I discovered a english shoe brand called Merwick 1707. and their shoes are made in Spain. Looking at their collection online, there are lots of English and even Italian styles to choose from (Most of them very affordable). What's your opinion on this brand?

Hi, thank you very much for your honest job and great talk. What about Berwick 1707 shoes. What is your honest opinion on this shoemaker? Appreciate it.

Great looking Shirt, Hugo. Where is it from?

CNES: It's an acronym for Classic, Noble, Simple & Elegant

I have an old pair of Bostonian shoes made in New England. They are 30 plus years old. Good old days.

I own six pairs of JFitzpatrick's. I love his shoes. By the end of the year, I'll purchase three more pairs. It was a pleasure when Justin actually called me.

What do you think about piuma rapid ? My shoes come from Italy and have that construction. I believe it’s similar to testoni shoe making.

Great video - curious what you think of the French brand Loding? I stumbled across them just now and I think you are dually qualified to answer, both for your shoe knowledge and being French. They claim to specialize in goodyear welted shoes and every model I see presently is well under $500 CAD, I'm assuming that would translate to somewhere around $300 USD roughly (more so due to often finding lower pricing in the USA rather than exchange rate).. I wonder if you know anything about them both in terms of quality and/or value. Stylistically they don't look incredible, some of them look like they could be a good starting point for a patina'd shoe though. Would be a good shoe to experiment on for a first timer, won't be too afraid to ruin something very expensive. I could see the argument for getting one of these other brands that have better aesthetics and patina'd models available - but could Also could have a polisher put a patina on the Loding and still not be too far in the hole - It would likely be a similar price to importing one of these other brands. This largely has to do with limited availability on all these brands locally. Outside of Tricker's - Loding would be the easiest to find locally to try on (from the list in the video)

Hi, Hugo I have a question about Crockett and Jones do you recommend? Thank you! ❤️

What is your opinion on tucking laces into the shoes? I saw someone say you should do that for a more finished look and noticed you don't do that.

Hello gents. I noticed the link for Grenson shoes is the same as Joseph Cheney.

Have a look at Magnanni Hugo. Great quality shoes which I think should have been included in the list. 👊🏻👍🏻

I must say exenlent videos and my favorite subject tux I been wanting to wear a tuxedo for long time I have question about Black Tie is OKEY to wear a tux in these places Casino , Nightclub after 6:pm its hard you know most people don't go the Opera or Black Tie event White Tie etc and thank you

Thank you, Gentlemen.

Hello Sir, so in your opinion, what's the best alternative for Allen edmonds at this under $500 price point?
