Is A HANDMADE SHOE Possible Under $500? | Yearn Shoemaker Unboxing

[@v_r_]

I think they’re excellent but what do you think about Yearn Shoemaker?

[@josefeliz416]

For podcast topics, talk about watches. Keep up the great work.

[@v_r_]

Haha…you know I will, fam!

[@SHABAZZTRIBE]

More casual and leisure menswear would be an interesting topic for men who's place of business is less formal in nature or even tropic clime menswear would be dope for heads in florida

[@v_r_]

What’s up, fam? Thanks for the idea, that’ll work.

[@vincentberlen7768]

Vlad unequivocally my TLB Mallorcas Goya last F width are crazy comfortable - dollar for dollar TLB offers very high value

[@alexxfreedom]

Great video as usual. Yearn has been on my radar but have been looking at other brands like TLB, Enzo Bonafe, and Carmina. Will have to add them to the list. Podcast sounds great you are going to have to go through the best shoe brands and explain the details behind your scoring.

[@v_r_]

Thanks for the idea. I like it! And please do add Yearn to your list, they’re awesome.

[@thejonesexperience]

Man Vlad, for real brother you have enhanced my knowledge of shoes and suits knowledge in so many ways 💐 Thank you 💐 Podcast topic: Shoe care- when to get them repaired and how to properly ask for said repairs.

[@v_r_]

Each one teach one, fam. So it’s my pleasure. Thanks for the podcast topic too. That would make for a good episode.

[@nick177th]

Bro, they are SO fire.

[@metaphysicalmachoman]

Happy to see you back at it again. I missed the tie. It sold out before I could buy it! 🤣 Keep up the great work!

[@v_r_]

Intro, great job always great informative... Best George

[@PatrickLino]

Great stuff kind sir! I'm interested...

[@OGustus]

Another wonderful presentation. May I ask where you get straps from?

[@v_r_]

Thank you! This is actually my own line of straps which will be dropping soon.

[@OGustus]

@@v_r_ nice. Looking forward to seeing them.

[@SHABAZZTRIBE]

Damn i need a pair of those .

[@danbee415]

you tempted me to buy the matchinf shoe trees. damn it lol!

[@anthonyenglish5709]

Beautiful!

[@v_r_]

Yes indeed!

[@arthurcatalanotto1151]

When having a hand welted shoe resoled, does it need to go back to where in was made for resoling? Those shoes are sweet and I am looking forward to the podcast.

[@v_r_]

Thank you! To have them resole, you just have to find a cobbler that can do it by hand. They are a few still around in the US but you may have to ship the shoes to them depending on where you live.

[@biscuitnoir1]

I was already familiar with Yearn and was impressed by the price/construction ratio. Glad you featured them on your channel. The podcast is a very good surprise as well, can't get enough of your content my friend 😊

[@v_r_]

Appreciate your kind words as always. Do you have any podcast ideas for me? I plan on starting to record next month.

[@biscuitnoir1]

@@v_r_ I'll come up with something for sure

[@v_r_]

🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@michaelbass767]

Would be interested in your thoughts on any quality or construction differences between Yearn and Vass both being handmade and around the same general price point. Good stuff as always!

[@taiteyard3567]

They’re both handmade, so it’s really up to you to decide your favorite designs between the brands. I personally think Yearn is miles ahead in terms of design, their lasts are much more elegant and refined, and I think they have more options too, like rubber soles, custom last, etc. Vass does have a few attractive lasts though, so it’s worth looking through both websites.

[@jackobrien1026]

I have both and Vass has amazing leathers (definitely better inner leathers) but I'm not qualified to say if Yearn's outer leathers are comparable. Besides that Yearn blows Vass out of the water for attention to detail. Vass also has a more traditional European fit and Yearn is a bit more on the Asian side for fit.

[@blackgoliath962]

Salute OG That is one great shoe!! Definitely stylish but gives a good lowkey vibe They would be great with mid-grey trousers

[@v_r_]

Salute, King! Extremely versatile shoes.

[@leonardcroft1467]

Hello Vladimir Beautiful Pair of Shoe’s . Always Enjoy Your Videos Thank you

[@v_r_]

Thank you kindly, Leonard!

[@danbee415]

Funny you make this video. I literally bought these shoes without seeing this video. I went with their Lazymans in a brown patina, split toe single monsktrap in A004 leather from their MTO section. I went with their double monkstraps and Artertons partnered split toe derbies. All of these with a topy sole protector and toe protector. Im going to overkill the soles because i walk 8-10 miles a day. Amazing value for money. I love their y07 last, and y08 last. Havent tried the others. Why am i puttung the big money in? Well honestly my shoe collection is already quite limited and the uppers on the good year welts are just crap quality. I paid on average 150 gbp for the different pairs. Ill still wear them as I love them. It was a good idea regardless since you learn how to maintain a shoe through experience.

[@stylishoversixty9459]

Awesome last selection at an affordable price 👍🏾😎

[@ekoller]

1:1 with Enzo. That conversation will never end. And he’ll try to prank a spam call in the middle.

[@jamiedamaral4011]

I may have to give Yearn a chance someday.

[@v_r_]

Highly recommended, fam!

[@MrFrescocotone]

Nice pick! Great shoes

[@v_r_]

Thank you! I love them and very happy to with the result.

[@ekoller]

Justin Fitzpatrick has some very cool green patinas you might be interested in. Allen Edmonds had olive burnished park ave shoes last year that ended up in a Marshall’s near us for $69!

[@v_r_]

I’m not big on colored shoes but I do have a green pair coming soon. It will be my first time stepping out of the black/brown/burgundy bubble. I’m looking forward to them.

[@ekoller]

@@v_r_ it’s fun. You get use to it

[@vincentberlen7768]

Vlad I want to buy some split toe derbies and some loafers. I like the Yeossal split toe derbies and Oct 10 has a nice butterfly loafer. Where would you buy your split toe derbies? The burgundy hatch grain Yeossal looks beautiful.

[@niniengineering]

There is one more thing on the premium MTO, they are equipped with real leather heel stiffener’s! The RTW and MTO are celastic.

[@v_r_]

You are correct. When I was filming, I didn’t know what material the RTW and regular MTO uses, so I had to leave that part out.

[@niniengineering]

@@v_r_ what did you think about the difference in the materials? Celastic vs. Leather-board vs. Real-leather Did you prefer one?

[@kylestreet4059]

Congrats on the tie sellout… question Sir… I saw somewhere that if you are short like me 5/8… that you shouldn’t trousers should have no break and no cuff … what is your take on it?

[@v_r_]

There’s some truth to it as you don’t want to break the line of sight but for someone your height, I’d recommend 1.25” to 1.5” cuffs and no break. No cuffs look weird to me except on tuxedos.

[@melvinmckinney9120]

Very nice shoes!

[@v_r_]

Thanks, Melvin! Yearn did an outstanding job.

[@mikoonos24]

Mister Vladimir, it is a pleasure to greet you and I would like to ask you a question. I saw the review of the YEARN shoe brand, by the way, beautiful shoes that you purchased. Well my question and according to your experience I am a size 29 Mexico equivalent to a US 11 true to size, could you suggest what size to order in this brand of shoes? Usually European and Asian sizes are tight sizes and my size is standard. I hope you can help me, you have a collection of incredible shoes. Thank you and best regards.

[@vincentberlen7768]

Vladimir which shoemaker makes the highest quality shoe: Yeossal, Oct 10 or Blazing Wonders. It looks like the Oct 10 shoes are the best quality, but I’m not sure. Your thoughts?

[@vincentberlen7768]

I like the shoes. I’ll Probably get a pair. Do you still like Yeossal?

[@v_r_]

I LOVE Yeossal. I have an unboxing coming up.

[@mskorkoss]

Hey Boss Abedi Jama here. It looks like the waist is bigger than my usuals. Do you feel like it fits any different than the narrow ones? Waiting on those watch bands... Respect.

[@v_r_]

Abedi, what’s up, fam? Yes I agree that the waist isn’t as narrow as let’s say Yeossal. The Premium MTO does come with a beveled waist though and from the pictures, the waist looks slimmer.

[@jamesalexander841]

Dope vid. One question: did you get the metal toe plates from yearn, or was that done post production? If it's from yearn was there an extra fee?

[@v_r_]

Thanks, James! The metal plates are $35 directly from Yearn.

[@vietdungnguyen6407]

Hi, so my first impression when look a Yearn shoes in social media is their last seem leaning toward enlongate last, but here with your shoes in last Y05, it seem much more balance. Do you feel the same? This is my biggest concern about Yearn since I'm only 5.6ft height so I want to avoid enlongate shoes.

[@S_Kane]

0:28 a burgundy would be dope

[@v_r_]

I agree, this is just the first one. Stay tuned!

[@S_Kane]

@@v_r_ 💪🏽

[@pegaines]

Vass vs Yearn?

[@v_r_]

I’d say it depends on your style. They’re both great but Yearn is a bit sexier IMO.

[@perrdland7903]

I really love your vids, man! Just for information: the Chinese use dog´s skin and they eat dogs. Perhaps not the case with this brand (pretty sure its not), but the whole leather industry in China is the worst in the world. Never trust them. Better stay with Northampton, Mallorca, Italy, France eg. PS! What do you think the width of the lapel should be on a roped shoulder suit jacket? I know you love the Neapolitan soft shoulder (as do I), but I also love the stronger shoulder for more formal business occasions. Anyway, no-one got a better intro!

[@v_r_]

Thanks for your kind words. Lapel width depends on a few factors. Personally I have a broader chest and feel like the 4” to 4.5” looks better on my frame. But I think around 3.75” looks good on almost everyone regardless of the style of the suit.

[@perrdland7903]

@@v_r_ Thanks so much for your answer. Just got a wonderful suit from my tailor were I decided on a 4 inch lapel on a fusion between Neapolitan and British. Roped shoulders, 4 inch lapel, two bottoms, slanted pockets with a ticket pocket, barchetta chest pocket. I think it looks awesome. Anyway, I am a subscriber and avid viewer of your channel and I really appreciate your understanding and take on men’s style. Kudos!
