Yearn maybe the best value for cost of the chinese shoemakers. Their shoes have beautiful finish work and the ability to do MTO on a RTW model for only a $50 upcharge is fantastic. I own 5 pair and my favorite last is the 07. I love the look (soft square) and the fit. I've ordered direct from factory and from Arterton. Arterton can give master classes in customer service. I hope they can take on other brands because Jamie is the best and I love supporting businesses that value their customers.

At the price point they are Trickers and Crockett and Jones range, know which I'd buy, living in Northamptonshire borders I've visited the factories of the English shoe manufacturers, they can't be beaten for exacting standards and workmanship

Oxford and Balmoral boots aren't the same! Different designs, balmorals have a single piece of leather that runs all the way around between heel and vamp. This one doesn't, so it's merely an Oxford boot.

I got about 4 of their shoes. theyre fantastic. I do best with their y07 last, it could do with the toe cap being slightly higher. the aesthetic is amazing. they could do with more monkstrap designs. i really really like them too much. Oxfords I just dont care about. Lazyman is what draw me in so much with their black and brown patina.
