Penny Loafers are a trend? Not even. They are and will always be in style, they are classics.

I do feel like loafers will always be classic yes but i feel like classics can still be "trendy" or rise in popularity and then die off but so far it's been consistent
@InfamousGFox15 күн бұрын
@MarkReyesCayabyab I see your point, and I agree. There has definitely been an increase in their popularity in menswear. During Tumblr's peak from 2011 to 2015, when menswear was a major focus, boots and oxfords were the primary go-to footwear choices.

It's definitely possible especially during sale season to find guidis or tabis for 1/3 of their original price. I got my 788z for 550 used but I've seen people get even better deals. It's something that I've wanted for years and it felt nice to save and buy the real thing. It's all about being patient. You're buying into the craftsmanship, quality, etc when buying a brand like guidi which are leagues ahead of walker vn. For my personally I'd rather save and wait than buy a lower quality alternative :)

These boots are not worth it, they smell like a chemical factory and the zippers don’t zip all the way. They are super plasticy feeling, just save for real guidis
@seeyouspacecowboy9415 ай бұрын
Personally, I owned a pair for three months, and I've found them to be pretty high quality. The chemical smell is apparent, and I will agree it is annoying but it wears off in a week at most. I think the smell is just shoe shine or some sort of leather perserver, but it is a harsh head ache enducing smell. As for the leather, it's held up pretty well for me. Mind you, I haven't been treating them like a red wing boot, but they've held up really well. All leather will flake if you dont take care of it. I would reccoment using some sort of perserver or leather lotion. I use the red wing leather lotion all my leather boot products. For your issue with the zippers, im not really sure? Maybe its a sizing issue, or you haven't fully broken them in? Mine fit perfectly. Maybe your zipper is getting caught on the leather fold?

Cool vid man, was just in Stockholm and got some boots and a jacket from them. I am sort of in this period of wanting to “smarten” my look and move away from more “pure” street wear. I’ve been thinking of it as elevated street wear. All that to say that I think your understanding of the target audience rings true for me. I went by acne while I was here too and it definitely struck me as more avant garde, wasn’t quite what I was looking for although I’m sure they have some of that too.

That's so awesome that you went to Stockholm, it's definitely on my list of places to go, especially with the overall Scandi design that they incorporate. In terms of other parts of the world, are you referring to overall minimal designers? Mid-tier designers? I really love this idea and would love to make a video out of it!
