I respect Dorian shedding a tear at 1:27 for poorly kept shoes everywhere

[migueldc]

Nice tips. I put used tea bags in my shoes, it helps with the smell

[jimmylee]

Just found your YouTube channel and I’ve been bing watching it like it was Game of Thrones lol! The videos are so helpful. Keep them coming. I get excited when I get a notification.

Thank you Ashley and Dorian for another great video! Would it be a bad idea to do a video on your favorite shawl cardigans and sweaters for the Fall? I started following this channel well after when you last talked about these, so most of the links to the things that I wanted that you recommended were dead, as the season had passed :(

Dorian has come a long way since his first appearance. Not looking at Ashley expectantly for approval after each sentence is a big improvement. Way to go!

Scrub your feet when taking a daily shower. It will help decrease feet/shoe odor. Don't stuff your used socks in your shoes to wear it another day...leave your shoes open to breathe and not blocked with socks. Also, wear fresh pair of socks every day or depending how soaked/sweaty your socks get through different events of the day. If you have sweaty feet, use foot powder or something...

Hi Ashley and Dorian. What can I use to maintain my sweaters from pilling, moth holes, etc? Thanks for the great videos and tips.

I get that Dorian is likely wearing sneakers more than dress shoes, but if you're wearing leather dress shoes everyday I'd suggest that in addition to conditioning them twice a year you should be polishing more often than that. Keeping them polished is not only good for the leather, it shows that you take pride in your appearance and yourself. Plus there are few things more satisfying than polishing a few pair of shoes.

I’ve gotta be honest. AW needs to take back the spotlight on fashion. She probably has one of the strongest pedigrees in the fashion sphere and it seems like she’s been taking a back seat. Let’s not get it twisted. Dorian is the business though. Split up the channel and Dorian needs to go in on the rest of his interests on his OWN channel. He’s got the personality and topics worthy of his own platform. Right now it seems like your talk over each other and just fighting to get a word in (and Dorian seems to be winning). Dorian, start your own channel on watches mech keyboards business social or something and I’ll subscribe so damn quick but given that this channel bears her name and that reason I came, Ashely needs to take the lead back. Frankly if I want more style advice from dudes, I’ve got a too many to choose from as is. Ashley’s perspective (particularly on the staple/quality side) adds that extra validation given that most guys dress well at least in part for our girlfriends.

Food for thought from a long time subscriber 😁😊

3:59 I was not expecting that shoe horn 😫
Great content as usual!

You can fit a bag of activated charcoal inside a shoe tree. That helps during long sweaty days outside.

[ojamajoe]

Great vid! Are shoe trees appropriate for every type of footwear (dress shoes, boots, sneakers, etc) or only certain ones?

[berchyzgb]

I have a problem with textile material sneakers, I usually don't buy them because my toes make a hole in them over time 😂 I don't know if I'm walking and lifting my toes all the time, but do you have some tips for that? Can I glue something from the inside of the shoes or something? 😂 I really want to buy nike metcon 5 but I'm afraid I'm gonna ruin them in a year or so, my shoes usually lasts me for a few years minimum

[leflef]

Ashley and Dorian, what is your fashion opinion on track pants for casual wear (outside the gym)? I have seen people wear them as if they were chinos with polo's, casual dress shirts, oxfords....etc. Any thoughts? P.S. Track pants like the ones Vince makes - not Champion. Thanks!

[MegaIsok]

A good investment is a shoe/boot dryer. I wear boots every day and the dryer saves my feet. No stinking work boots or athletic shoes and no sweat and bacteria filled boots.

[shierdmalayka]

Great timing! I just bought new shoes 😂

[chrismiller]

I've always had problems with shoe horns. Any tips about that?

[eyeheartsushi]

0:40 Come on, now. Did they put dumbbells on those shoes? 😂😂😂

[matthoffman]

Have you ever heard of having rips in the inside lining where the big toe hits? I keep having this issue with some of my shoes. They’re the right size and my toenails are trim lol

[Jeff_Louis]

Too much work, I'll just keep buying new shoes 😂
