Those Cleverley burgundy loafers are just awesome. It's a great collection but those are definitely my favorite.

[@kirbyallison]

Tyler Clendenin Yeah. These are currently my favorite pair by a long shot!

[@chiongms]

Fantastic video! Do another in-depth video for the Cleverley bespoke shoes :-) I know you already did for some of them... but still, love them a lot especially the first one you bought and the seamless whole-cut.

As usual, quality video. One suggestion - when you have music playing in video, might be worth bringing its volume down some. It can be distracting, IMO.

[@frederickbanjoman9482]

As a retiree, I can't aspire to all your super quality stuff, but you have got under my skin, as I always remember my late father going in suit and tie and smart shoes, whereas I went for t shirts, trainers total slob look after 50+ years as a salesman in the Rat Race (although I sold the top quality pricey wallpapers, using the maxim Quality is remembered;long after price is forgotten.. I destroyed/charitied most ties (kept black grey and one red), Gave shirts jackets suits to charity. OK, now I realise leaving work does not mean stopping Smart. All the stuff I bought now on Amazon has referral to Kirby Allison as a mojo restoring necessity of life. I bought horsehair brushes (wood of course),wood hangers, wood shoehorns long and short. Cream linen jacket (oh). irons tow pairs black trousers. polished and restored black shoes, brogues and bought three new pairs brown/tan. bought cream polish restorer. Spend time doing every thing up. Its all your fault Mister Allison! Then i see you in t shirt on office move!! Hmm ... ... I do have well polished guitars banjos and ukes, including a £500 solid mahogany cutaway fisherman pickup Kala. Now that is style..... Thanks again.

nothing looks better on a man than 6 months of lifting weights and a good diet, love the channel KIrby, keep up the great work

[@eckergus]

And I thought I was being excessive with my eight pairs of Allen Edmonds... you are BOSS!

[@kirbyallison]

Andres Mendoza In reality, I probably have eight shoes I’m wearing regularly. A lot of these are older pairs I’ve transitioned through. Eight pairs of AE’s is a pretty awesome collection!

[@brandonbentley8532]

Vintage Allen Edmunds? Newer makes seem rushed to me. I recently considered a pair of cordavon Oxfords that had far from perfect stitching and they were just under 700! I even asked the rep if they were seconds...they were not! Ebay here I come...

Thanks!

Sometimes i feel like kirby's giving me advice on how to begin my new life as a butler.

[@boblacks945]

Thank you for showing us your personal shoe collection. As for myself, I have a big problem concerning beautiful shoes that I have acquired over the years. It is simply that when I find a pair of shoes that I truly like very much I just prefer to look and admire them in their pristine state and therefore never wear them! For example, for my birthday many years ago I purchased a pair of Ferragamo laced shoes with no detailing that just had the most wonderful curves and shape. So every few months I take them out of their box and just admire them from all angles but never actually wear them. My current pair of Santoni loafers sat in my closet for about five years until I had no more other loafers to wear, so I decided that it was time to finally wear them.

[@FrostyBear74]

I really appriciate your thoughts and stories on your shoes. I am just starting my shoe collection and learning all the proper use of shoe styles has been extremely helpful. I thought I loved shoes before, but now I appriciate the different styles much more after watching your videos.

[@jaythompson2541]

Kirby...Just discovered your informative videos last week and I have been binge watching ever since. This video answers a question I was asking as I watched the Baron De Rede Loafer fitting. Great work! Thanks for sharing

[@kirbyallison]

Jay Thompson My pleasure! Thanks for watching.

[@michaelciccone2194]

Hi Kirby, you are terrific. I am not s Alone. I just bought my first pair of Edmonds black tassled loafers ×patent leather shoes here in Manhatten. First time customer! I am thrilled to view your video--nice to hear a refined voice like yours. I was brought up with good values Keep me posted!

[@declanbartlette3074]

This shoe collection is very inspiring. It shows that each person can build their own shoe collection based on their personal preferences.

Now I can show my wife that I don't have too many shoes!

[@kirbyallison]

Exactly!

[@airborneSGT]

The Hanger Project interestingly enough as I refine my shoe tastes and collection I feel I am becoming particular enough that I will go bespoke.

[@kirbyallison]

Manny Bamberg For me, it’s more about the fit and elegance than being able to order unique, particular styles. Most of my bespoke stuff are models that would be easy to find RTW. But once you experience the fit of bespoke, you really can’t go back....

[@phus2001]

[@allen31951]

Thanks for the shoe collection tour. I appreciate your passion for the amazing artistry and quality of well constructed shoes. Impressive collection Kirby.

[@kirbyallison]

Thanks!

[@Revelatus]

You've shown off those burgandy whole cut Bespoke Cleverlys a couple times now and I am totally in love with them. They are awesome. I think your shoe collection is worth more than my total net worth lol.

The black shoes all look to have a blue hue to them on my TV. They look great, a deep dark blue .

[@Vinilo-pl1pz]

Fantastic collection, I enjoyed hearing the evolution of your years of methodical acquisition.

[@LDacic]

I've been searching the web for those Grenson's black wholecut. Amazing collection, thanks for sharing!

[@elimilch6270]

Mauri used to have a shop in Milan on Via Montanapoleon (Their equivalent of Madison Ave.) They were famous for high end shoes in exotic skins. In the 80"s I purchased 3 pair of tassel loafers there( lack alligator, brown alligator and black Ostrich). Great shoes. As one who loves loafers over laces I lived in classic black tassel loafers. In NYC they were acceptable for formal and business wear. Like you I never loved double monks, too much hardware. There are lots of great classic styles out there. I would recommend 2. A Raywood style loafer a la Peal (C & J) for Brooks, basically a Bal turned into a slip-on. Finally what I feel is Cleverly's most unusual and innovative and perhaps his most famous shoe design. The Butterfly Loafer. Great collection, great video.

[@kirbyallison]

Funny story about Mauri. Thank you for that information... I always assumed my grandfather purchased those crocodile shoes at Neiman Marcus in Houston... but maybe he got them on a trip to Italy! Who knows. They're incredible shoes, though.

[@lukecage9836]

Whoa! I bought my first pair of Allen Edmonds shoes from Franco's in Richmond!

[@jthwang4841]

Wow! That’s one amazing collection. Your dad’s advice is great. I’ll be looking to purchase my first bespoke next year.

[@kirbyallison]

JT Hwang That’s great! Yes. I’d prefer two to three pairs of incredible bespoke shoes over 5x normal RTW pairs. Any idea her who you want to go with?

[@jthwang4841]

I’ve been wanting the George Cleverley Punched Cap Oxford, but would like in oxblood or dark maroon color. I do have AE Cornwallis, in tan which looks similar, but nowhere as nice. Great videos....even with AE’s, shine makes such a huge difference. As for Saphir products, they are fantastic. Btw, with little stepping on my shoes often, I’ve given up uniform shine, but still get great results with the mirror gloss and pate de luxe combo. Thanks again for great videos.

[@scottcarroll9201]

Are monk straps trendy or fashionable? I just don't want to buy a pair only for them to look dated 10 years from now.

[@chiaradamore-klaiman8692]

No derby shoes?

[@harrytdarby9483]

Hi Kirby, just finish lookind at your shoe collection would like to invest in my frist pair of proper shoe were do I start?

[@JustinHEMI05]

Beautiful collection! I'm fairly new to better shoes myself, and I've stuck to Allen Edmond's so far. Thanks for the inspiration to expand my horizons. I work at an industrial facility (power plant) and don't get to wear nice shoes too often, so I haven't yet found the gumption to get a pair of bespoke shoes. In my early 40's, though, I feel it's time.

[@kirbyallison]

JustinHEMI If you don’t wear them often, all the more reason to have two to three really awesome shoes you’ll love and wear the rest of your life! There is just something special about putting on a pair of bespoke shoes!

[@JustinHEMI05]

Excellent point!

[@jeffroberts9536]

Allen Edmonds served me well for many years. I highly recommended them to the younger guys who worked for me. I still have several pairs in my closet.

[@paolofrancisco5160]

can you please make a video on how to store shoes you don't wear, for year sometimes and how to take care of them and how often should we condition or polish them?? thank you .

[@martinnogales2259]

A dream come TRUE !!!! Splendid

[@devinwang1603]

As a 19 year old college kid, how can I get started with finding a good pair of shoes without any prior knowledge and more or less the financial means? Following that, a decent yet professional outfit to match.

[@scottcarroll9201]

I just bought a mint condition, $315 pair of Allen Edmonds at a thrift shop for $15. I would suggest you start frequenting thrift stores around your city. If you're at a big school, there'll be plenty of them and they'll most likely have bargains galore. Also, look at eBay. You can find tons of decent previously owned shoes on there for $50. There are plenty of deals around you just have to be patient and keep an eye out.

[@joshuasteele4498]

I've had a fair bit of success with finding AE's through Poshmark. 8 pairs in and never spent more than $60 for any of them. Don't be afraid to haggle. Folks who want to sell something will make a deal if you just approach them honorably.

[@Sobreiroboots]

Stunning

[@nelsona.7950]

Hey Kirby , fine collection. Like you I have a pair of bespoke George cleverly and a ready to wear pair of St Crispins amongst my shoe collection. I would recommend that you look to getting a pair of Edward Green. I think you will be pleased. I will be looking to get a pair of my first Graziano & Girling next. Oh yes , look at Alden suede and leather loafers , calf and cordovan. Sublime.

[@stillatshore]

your gazianos in burgundy look a lot like allen edmonds cornwallis, which they just brought back as a limited release a few weeks ago. i picked up the cornwallis in vintage burgundy and vintage navy

[@BenjaminChavez]

No double monks? No wintips? Your collection is not complete 😊 Thanks for the video.

[@kirbyallison]

Hahah. Personally, I've just never been a fan of double monks and wingtips. As far as double monks are concerned, it's a relatively "new" shoe design. I'm just too impatient to deal with four buckles in the morning. A single monk is enough for me. And for wingtips... I really don't have a good explanation other than the fact I've just never really loved them... to each's own!

[@kpag3030]

Kirby Allison you need more brogues and/or semi brogues and bluchers. So many balmorals and loafers

[@jeffkaluga997]

I agree, and no Gator? Dude sit down..

[@atlantacabil]

I've never been a fan of double monk strap shoes myself. The single monk strap look so much better!

[@aurktman1106]

@@kirbyallison Is there a particular fashion reason to go with a single over a double monkstrap or is that one of just comparable choice?

[@pwsod]

Very interesting and I note not one shell cordovan pair. I wonder if you would consider giving your reasons why not please?

[@GustavoHerediaActor]

Hello Kirby , I wasn’t sure I should share this with you but I am going to . I hadn’t the slightest idea about shoes ,until I began watching your and other videos about shoes , I had no idea what brouguing , cap toes, Goodyear welt , lasts ,were etc, You did mention on a video , ( not the exact words) that once you buy a pair you’d want a second then a third ....at that moment I thought no way I am buying those expensive shoes ,but then again I thought ,if I buy a good quality shoes they will last me a long tome . So I went to the Allen Edmonds store in New York and Anded up buying : a pair of park avenue black and a pair of walnut , a pair of burgundy Bond street, a pair of strandmok brown, and a pair cognac,; then I saw you made a video at the Carmina store in New York , I went there and ended up buying a pair Semi brogue in Vegano Bordeaux Inca and a pair of double monk straps in Vegano Brown Inca , 9UK fit me just right . Plus i made a mistake of buying a pair of Double Monk straps in Brown Museum , the mistake was that they turned out to be to tight ,8.5 UK ( Allen Edmonds 9.5 fit perfect ), the mistake was That I got so excited and rushed to have put on them toe and hill taps plus a half rubber sole , so couldn’t return them , ( hopefully I’ll be able to sell them ). All in all I am very happy with the purchase and hopefully I will have shoes for a free years , am not trying to sound pretentious by any means ,just had some money saved ( I might delete the comment after) I just though I’d share it with you,. It is all your fault!!lol . Am amazed at how much you know about shoes and I have learned a lot !! Thankyou .

[@pankajsharda]

Hello Kirby, I am a fan of your channel and each episode is immensely watchable. Thanks for educating many of us on shoes and caring for the shoes. I have a question: What kind of belt do you wear with Burgundy shoes? Perhaps a better question is where can I buy good quality formal burgundy belts?

[@nowornever2504]

Really like the red GC pig skin loafers and black GC cap toe oxfords-hope to get some myself soon. My walnut McCalisters and oxblood Strands seem sturdy, but the fit and finish are ok. I enjoy them though.

[@golfraven5669]

Nice Collection. I wish I still had my black Oxfords I bought over 20 years ago - got lost somewhere. Love shoes so building my collecrion slowly. Bespoke shoes are on my list next.

[@kirbyallison]

A bespoke pair of black captoe oxfords would be the perfect place to begin! You can easily wear those shoes the rest of your life. You could wear them every day almost if you wanted!

[@1061shrink1061]

A similar journey for me. I'd always appreciated half decent shoes from an early age. This started with the likes of Loake (and various shoes made by loake under other names), which are much like the AE of UK, a solid, well made range of welted shoes. That said the 1880 Range from loake punches above its weight and offers good leather on a well made shoe. Then I bought my first pair of Crockett & Jones, and that was really the start of the "habit". The crocketts were just another level up, and I ended up buying several crocketts, followed by some Cheaneys, which of similar quality, actually fit me a little better, albeit that I still prefer crockett leather slightly. Then I discovered Alfred Sargent, and in particular the Exclusive range, which in hindsight, push well well above their weight. The 724 last is highly reminiscent of the G&G TG73 last, and in fact my Moores appear almost identical in many ways to the G&G St James II. They are made from excellent leather, and have lots of high end touches like the rolled (and narrow) waists, and lasted shoe trees. But then I bought some G&G's! Although I love my Gazianos, what I will say, is that having experienced G&G, Edward Green and Clevereley shoes, I'd suggest that the Alfred Sargent Exclusives / Handgrade, are actually sitting at an apex of price / quality / value, where spending a lot more gets you very little, and spending much less can get you significantly less. In fact when I came to buy the Moores, I did consider buying the G&G St James II, but I genuinely couldn't find any detail, finishing, or styling difference that would convince me to pay double the money. So I stuck with the AS. I'd love to get a few more Gazianos, but perhaps some AS handgrade first :)

[@kirbyallison]

Shrink1061 That’s the journey! If you could go back, would you do anything differently?

[@jeffroberts9536]

Kirby, As usual, thank you for your expert advice. Also it's refreshing to know that there is someone with nearly as many shoes as I have! I haven't tried Cleverley but would like a pair of their Churchill loafers. I seem to prefer Edward Green and Crockett and Jones to my G&G's, and have several pair of Alden Shell Cordovan shoes which are also outstanding shoes. Thanks!!

[@kirbyallison]

Sounds like a great collection! EG and Crockett make great shoes. Less of an aggressive design than G&G.

[@ronaldjames2391]

I have been debating getting a Gucci Horsebit loafer in brown for myself but have always been put off by their thin soles. I have stuck to - Edward Greens, Church's, Crockett and Jones and an occasional Santoni. What is your view on owning a Gucci show. It looks iconic and very comfortable. But do you think they can hold up to the English holy trinity? Plus are they value for money

[@douglasgleaton8403]

I purchased two pairs of Allen Edmonds upon your recommendations of a starter brand to upgrade your wardrobe. One pair makes quite a bit of noise when walking, I do, now have shoe trees in my shoes to help prolong their longevity and decrease the creasing of the shoes. Do you have any suggestions to help work the shoes in, so they don't make so much noise, but not create a lot of creases that mar the overall appearance and second do you have any other suggestions to decrease the amount of creases the shoe holds on to with normal use?

[@allen31951]

A question Kirby......what brand or brands of shoes do you recommend for those just getting into quality shoes. I am a late starter at 66. Just bought 2 Allen Edmonds shoes.....5th Avenue in dark chili and McAllister in Walnut. Next will be their black Park Avenue and brown Strandmok. Maybe a chuka boot and Penney loafer after that. I’m really liking AE for the money.....especially when on sale. Paid $245 each for the 2 I just bought. Both were regularly $395.

[@kirbyallison]

I don't think you can go wrong with Allen Edmunds, especially for the price. If you're willing to spend more, Alden and AE's Independence Collection are certainly a step up.

4:59 aren't those semi-brogues? I've always thought Adelaide oxfords were when the quarter & vamp are the same piece of leather that is then sewn to the lacing system--like your shoe at 6:10.

[@andienicolas9779]

Good video Kirby. I have a query however. In Melbourne on the weekend I bought a pair of Louboutin suede oxfords.The saleslady advised that I should have them sprayed to make them waterproof. What is your thought on this recommendation? I should say where I live (Adelaide) there is minimal rain and I do not intend to wear them in the rain if I can avoid it. I suppose I am more worried if I go to a "stand up" function and wine, "finger food" etc falls onto the shoes. On another note RE your video, I print/take pictures of the shoes and put them at the front/side of the shoe box for easily ID. I do this with my wife's extensive collection too! Often the shoe boxes are quite smart in themselves and try to keep them as far as possible.

[@drewsmith5095]
