Excellent video, Jeff. Beckett Simonon appears to offer a great dress shoe at an affordable price. Personally, the bulk of my shoes are from Allen Edmonds. I also have some boots from Johnston and Murphy. AE uses the Goodyear welt process and J&M uses Blake stitching. They are both great brands and made in the USA, which I like. At this point, I am well stocked with just about every type of shoe, but if I were in the market for a new pair I would give Beckett Simonon a serious look. Thanks for the great review.

Thanks Lou!

Got my Beckett Simonon single monk strap in burgundy last week using the 20% off you gave us in October 2018. I am very pleased with it. It is a beautiful pair of shoes very well put together, great color. It's also true to size my size 12 fit perfectly straight out the box there was no breaking in period needed . I was so impressed that I order two more pair of shoes from them one oxford and one loafer in dark brown and the other in black. Thanks for introducing me to Beckett Simonon. Keep up the good work style OG. Salute and keep those 20% coupons coming..LOL

[@TheStyleOG]

Glad to hear you are enjoying the Beckett Simonon shoes!

Thanks for dropping that knowledge OG. I made the mistakes of buying shoes made with genuine leather and thinking some over hyped over priced brand was the way to go. I'm glad i have this knowledge now next time I go dress shoes shopping

[@TheStyleOG]

No problem Tone !

[@stylishoversixty9459]

Fantastic video definitely full of helpful and truly informative points on buying a quality pair of dress shoes I personally appreciate getting knowledge on the difference between quality leathers in addition another fine point highlighted in your video "know the company" you are purchasing your product from (i.e. how they treat their workers are they conscience of environmental waste) Jeff as always you do a great job of informing your subscribers thanks and salute!

Great vid very informative especially about “genuine leather”. I disagree on one thing though you can re sole rubber. I have some that are goodyear welt construction as well as leather sole it depends on the aesthetic you prefer.

Wanted to let you know, Jeff. I just bought a pair of Beckett Simonon shoes and I used the OG code to get that 20% discount. Thanks for the tip on their shoes and for the opportunity to get 20% off. I'm looking forward to wearing them when they get here in July. I think it's important to support guys like you who have a dream. I hope this helps you in some way. I really enjoy your channel. All the best to you.

Never cheap out on shoes, ruins the whole ‘uniform’. Save up and treat yourself to bespoke shoes (if you can afford to) at least once in your lifetime (it's addicting though). Great content Style O.G.

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks!

[@jeffreyyehezkiel8259]

I wanna do bespoke, but only after i got one of each shoe style i like. Only chelsea, wholecut, single monk, and casual oxford to go before i go bespoke

[@anthonyredding9384]

Thanks Jeff! These tips is very helpful. I want to ask you a question. The New Republic Chelsea Boots do they come true to size or do you have to go a size down. I'm thinking on buying a pair. Thank you Jeff and have a bless day.

[@TheStyleOG]

True to size if half a size down at most

[@21jvar]

All depends if you wear a lot but it is good to have a good dress shoes it's an investment like a nice suit and for the ordinary days just casual ..... And try new brands sometimes u can find a new one with good quality because in these days we are paying for the name of the brand so I try to support the new small companies ... At the end of the day it's all you.. and keep humble... that is the best investment

[@melvinmckinney9120]

Nice video Jeff. I just replaced a pair of Joseph Abboud with a pair of Stacy Adams, which has the stitching on the bottom, and I bought a new pair of black dress shoes and own a pair of light brown dress boots. I only when I dress for church , or some occasions where I have to dress up. I wear a uniform to work and wear work boots, so in my case, my dress shoes will be lasting me for a long while. Please make a video on shoe maintenance and about the best body talcs.

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks Melvin!

[@leebog1914]

On your recommendation some time ago I picked up two pairs - double monk strap and a Tan Captoe these bad boys always get complements no matter where I go. I also picked up the Leather Messenger bag, now that is a tight bag.

Nice SigmaMan!

[@jonstern7511]

Lovely shoes. I think you can get quality rubber soled shoes that are stitched and resolable. I have some (Loake 1880 I think) and they are just as quality as similar leather soled shoes if not as commonly found. To me the big factor on what soles to choose is climate. When in a warm summer leather soles are great but when I'm in a wet English winter I need the extra traction and water resistance from a rubber sole or at least a leather sole with rubber added by a cobbler

[@TheStyleOG]

appreciate the input Jon!

[@bryenanderson2538]

You should do a video on packing for a short business trip.

[@TheStyleOG]

[@rashadwashington4121]

Good tips. I would also say buy 3 or 4 of dress shoe so it don’t wear as fast.

[@ernestofuentes7262]

Does Beckett Simonon resew the sole of the shoes or I have to find a local show place that does it?

O.G. Do they come in wide size. I been sticking with Ferragamo they have wide size.

[@letsgetitmindset4433]

I agree with everything except the price point. I always fund quality dress shoes for no more than $60. Nortrom Rack has $4-$600 shoes for about $100-$150. Those shoes will go on clearance 50-75% off and go down to $40-$60.

Hi, Style OG. I got a questiom: can rain water permeate a blake stitch shoes? Today i wore one, but when it rains, the water started coming in my toe area. Is it normal? Thanks

[@TheStyleOG]

it can be less water resistant than a goodyear welt..

Is it cool to wear dress shoes with jeans?

[@michaeljohnson7945]

Another way to check the quality of shoes is to smell the inside of the shoe. If it smells like glue, you know it's been made on the cheap with glue bonding as opposed to stitching.
