This is probably the best shoe reviewer on Internet. You can see the details and length he goes through in making videos. My only gripe is I need more videos!! Keep up great work. Thank you.

My closet was once exclsuively AE shoes. Now it is brands like TLB, Carmina, Yearn, Altan, J Fitzpatrick, Winson, Michael Darren, Ichicgo Ichie and Carlos Santos.

Fabulous review. Very sleek, professional and extremely knowledgeable. I’m subscribing.

I can tell a LOT of research and work went into making this video.

Thanks so much for this video. Could you consider doing a review for CNES shoes?

Hi I'm new here. The quality of this video is phenomenal. There are a lot of Beckett Simonon reviews on youtube but none are as detailed as this. I love the way you explain each component of the shoe and it's value for the price point. Keep making these kind of reviews, especially for these popular brands that have mixed reviews like BS, Meermin, Thursday, etc. Definitely subbing right now. Also I appreciate the transparency at the end

Another great video! I own a pair of Durant Oxford in Bordeaux from Beckett S. and they are super comfortable. Just recently ordered a 32:37 pair of Dean Oxford in brown to complete my collection, although their last is not as sophisticated as higher cost shoes, they are worth it.

Another fantastic one! Very informative. Keep it going!

[ivetteleiva-jp]

Great video, I have a pair of Beckett Simonon I like them, they are comfortable, good value and they work for me .
Thank you

Okay, I just got to the end of the video. The tiny little imperfections you pointed out makes me think you're insane. I love it.

I love these in depth reviews. Excellent work as always. I would love to see reviews of the affordable Indian shoemakers like Bridlen, BLKBRD, etc. BLKBRD in particular has a unique value proposition with their true seamless wholecut oxfords.

[markyoung]

Loved the video! This type of component analysis is interesting and underexplored on YouTube. I would love to see a video of this style on Meermin.

[ireiaand]

Always a joy to see a new video from you! That brown looks amazing especially with the nice patina on the front. Definitely agree it is a perfect shoe for a comparison!

[fakedeath]

Got a pair of Deans a few years ago when I had just graduated college and needed my first real dress shoe for work, for the pricepoint they are honestly unbeatable, and have aged super well. I've since acquired some other pairs I wear as well, but I imagine without heavy use the Deans should be able to last at least a decade or so. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for their first pair of leather oxfords, but you do have to wait a few months to receive them so if time is of the essence there may be more suitable options.

[jeecee]

Really awesome and thorough review. I agree that BS are a great value, I've been super happy with mine.

[Trommpetter]

Great video as always! The quality of your content is unmatched my friend! I understand why you use Allen Edmonds, given its popularity in the US, but at some point Americans need to realise this really isn’t the staple of craftsmanship and finesse they think it is.

[Aratolotl]

This is the best shoe review i've ever seen

[jeffreyjohnson]

Just curious what you think about wearing derbies with a suit. I have a fairly high instep and oxfords are painful to wear. I currently have the Beckett Dunham derby.

[The_Other_Matt]

Excellent video, especially the thorough breakdown of the cross-section. This is the most detailed and honest review I've seen of this brand. I have a pair of their Austerity Oxfords in the same finish. This review made me appreciate them more despite have many of the same minor flaws you pointed out. Mine have some of that frayed welt stitching on the outboard side of one of the shoes where they clearly got a little rough trying to correct some of the finishing on the upper. Like you pointed out though its one of those things that 99% of people will not notice while I'm wearing them but it still bothered me when I first received them.
