The worst god damn company I’ve ever dealt with in my life. I’ve had the same experience that others have mentioned. Ordered a pair of shoes which took 3 months to arrive, which did not fit. When I asked about exchanging them, I was told that the next size up was not in stock and so I’d have to wait ANOTHER 3 months to get a shoe that was a half size larger. I eventually returned these shoes to get a refund but was told they were “worn” and my money could not be refunded...I wore them one time on my carpet (per their instructions) and yet this apparently has put them into condition damaged beyond the point of return. I’m so furious with this garbage company. It’s been almost a year, I’m out $300, and I STILL don’t have a pair of shoes!!!!

[@rameylewis7730]

That's good to know. I'm not interested in buying from companies that aren't interested in serving their clients. Thanks for your comment. I won't be buying from them.

[@redx603]

same here no even exchange. First shoe - Sizing issue and they will refund me the promo price 299 that I have paid during the preorder and currently, these shoes are 425 so I am expected to pay additional 125 to get the right size. I don't plan to do anything with them

[@growingmelancholy8374]

your first problem was that you ordered a pair, more than likely because you heard they might be good from youtubers.

[@broadneydangerfield]

@@redx603 Not doing an even exchange is unacceptable. Such a horrible way to treat a customer. After reading reviews and gathering feedback on the quality and customer service, I'm going to have to go in another direction. They've got a 30% off deal going and with the pre-order, it was another 20% off. Still not worth it in the end. A solid, fair return policy is the most important aspect of an online product purchase. Sorry you had to go through what you did.

[@lambertaie8859]

Rickson Gracie yeah I definitely was not impressed. They’re overrated , not even as good as Beckett Simonon. I brought a pair and they got super creased and the sole wore down with just one wear

[@gregthomas3137]

I've been curious about Paul Evens so I really appreciate this video man

[@taylorshold7955]

I love the wholecut look...definitely going to have to add something like this to my collection.

[@The_Kavalier]

Pure class!

[@dan83to]

I've also just bought a whole cut pair too, instead I chose a blue patina from a local producer in my home country. It def gives a different style when paired with whichever pair of trousers you are on! Nice to see that after 1y you chose a good pair!

[@disturbed9361]

Beautiful shoes! Loved it

[@kaikaichen]

I've been on the Paul Evans skepticism/criticism train for a long time, but I appreciate your honest and genuine review.

[@TechnoLawyer]

I have a pair of Paul Evans. They are fantastic. I agree with you. A couple times a year they sell them for half off.

[@drewbranch7700]

I can wait to get my hands on the Paul Evans monkstraps.

[@paulhughes5446]

Just ordered my first pair of P.E. based on your reviews. They ask at the end of the process how I discovered them, word of mouth, web search etc... I gave the Kavalier credit for introducing me to the product. Hope that helps grow your support from them. Looking forward to getting the shoes in about a week

[@kongmw]

These new wholecuts look really sleek! Oh definitely do an unboxing of that shoe shine kit.

[@wilford71ify]

kongmw they do look great. I'm waiting to get my cagney captoe III.

[@drlessismore]

Did you ever do a Paul evens Vs Allen Edmunds head to head? Fantastic video as alway. My favorite channel. 😎

[@harsheelpatel9999]

You should do a review and test the Crockett & jones

[@majch]

For that price I think something like Carmina or J. FitzPatrick is much better. They're good year welted too. Paul Evans sounds like a ripoff. Also, I'm not a fan at all of the Paul Evans silhouette. The lasts have no personality.

[@Ikari777]

Having owned and handled all three, 100% agree. The patina looks nice when you get but is only surface level and looks rough after a year or less sometimes. As others said, they do a lot of questionable pricing games, that I have watched over the years. Like they are $399 then bam, $449-499 when they have a 50% off code available etc.

[@danielhakimi]

Paul Evans is definitely overpriced. I think some of their shoes look pretty nice, but in terms of leather quality, and construction... I have a pair of Meermin seconds I got for under $100, and the Meermins are definitely just better. I really feel like Kav's shilling a bit here.

[@ilgambino0784]

For that price I go for a pair of A. Meccariello

[@george5737]

100% agree, they even have different prices on the same model for different colors. I have never seen something similar. Something seems so sketchy with their approach. I would also strongly suggest Cobbler Union at $400

[@mtmmase3333333]

This is the worst company I ever dealt with don’t do it plus it’s a bad look for the you tuber

[@dolcevitausa]

I was fortunate in that my experience was different with the two pairs of shoes I bought. I ordered the shoes with a 30% discount and had them in about a week...no issues. The only glitch was my not reading the sizing guide more carefully. I did not see the order a full size down...so a family member lucked out with two new pairs of shoes. I reordered one pair but was only able to get a 10% discount.

[@dxm5234]

Really appreciate the direct and honest review. How about reviewing brands like Loake (1880) and Meermin to give viewers in Europe a relative perspective

[@kurtfrancis6638]

The first pair that I really like -whole cut

[@Ahmad-kr8tf]

Heard their customer service tactics are shady..Telling people after waiting months for their shoes and wanting to return them that they have "been worn" etc and there is no refund..I cant confirm that so it's anectodal.. What I can say is they are misleading in saying that if a shoe is "unavailable" you pre-order..Lol, I looked at their site several times and its all pre-order there is no "in stock". I'm not into games...Thus imo this is shady to begin with and a non starter... Just my 2 cents....

[@EscobarStyle]

Ahmad VERY shady and I agree. I’ve encountered it so I know.

[@ricksongracie618]

This is exactly what happened to me. I’m so pissed at this company. 😡😡😡

[@jamesw1659]

I had exactly the opposite experience. Bought both the shoes reviewed here for about half price. One was in stock, and the other was not. Had to exchange for size. No hassles at all; got one replacement immediately, and the other within a couple of weeks. I was very careful with the original pairs, and they credited me fully for them without a word. I didn't get a whiff of anything shady from dealing with them.

[@Clarkson350]

Confusing, you said go down one full size, yet you went from 12 in AE to 10 then 10.5 in PE

[@RepublicanJesusthe2nd]

Those ARE nice!

[@jackross876]

I haven't bit the bullet on a pair yet,but I'm probably going to soon. They look like a million bucks, and I've heard nothing but great things about them.

[@frankmai4014]

Do you have any experience with the brand Andres Sendra? Gents Lounge did a video that has one of their shoes in it and it looks absolutely amazing

[@johnny81269]

Hi Jon great video content you have. I just ran into your channel and been enjoying the wide range comparisons you have been showing. Question for you as I love dress shoes myself but I must ask you must dress casual at times if so what shoes do you wear when you dress casual?

[@The_Kavalier]

Loafers or minimalist sneakers

[@SoXFireBlade]

Interesting. I feel like they are made from the same factory as ace marks but maybe different materials? For that price I would go for Carmina. Still finds them to be the best bang for buck but I live outside us as well

[@EscobarStyle]

ALWAYS love your videos Jon and you’re my guy! But... you already know my opinion with Paul E. I can go in depth with it but I will make a video soon enough. See you tomorrow my friend 😎

[@The_Kavalier]

I know! Where is it!?

[@EscobarStyle]

The Kavalier 🤷🏻‍♂️ I hope soon enough

[@broadneydangerfield]

Please make that video EscobarStyle. After the exchange I just had with PE, I am very interested in the details of your experience. My mind is currently blown. I've never been spoken to this way by a rep of a business for asking a simple question, let alone the owner.

[@pastafactory4247]

A blake stitch is harder to resole since the sole is stitched directly to the uppers rather than a welt.

[@jjrs14ify]

I'm looking to buy a pair of used Paul Evans Stewart Penny Loafer and I'm confused on what size to order. I wear a size 11D in Allen Edmonds and you said to order a size down. The confusing part is you said you wear a 12 in Allen Edmonds but you ordered a size 10.5 in Paul Evans. That would be 1.5 size down not 1 size. So in your opinion would you recommend me get a 10 or 9.5 in Paul Evans if I wear a size 11D in Allen Edmonds?

[@pavlopyshnyy6845]

Hey Kavalier have you checked out J. Fitzpatrick shoe? I haven't ever bought any of their shoe but really love the story behind the brand. Also, there shoes seem to directly complete with Paul Evan in terms quality and price.

it's usually 40% off; I bought them right after christmas in 2018 and 2019 and love what I got!

Their prices are pushing towards companies like Crockett & Jones. For a $500 shoe, I’m definitely choosing C&J over Paul Evans

[@RogueCylon]

Yes, should have something similar to the sneaker video soon

[@jayelms7279]

I have wider feet and prefer E or wider... beside AE and Ferragamo, who makes shoes at this level is wider widths than D/Medium? Cole Haan does as well, but...

[@jski8418]

I bought one pair of Paul Evans and it was the worst experience I've ever had. I would never buy anything from them again. They keep raising the price too and they are NOT worth it for the money.

[@The_Kavalier]

That sucks! What was the issue with them?

[@Mstfhshm]

Is it about the quality or the customer service?

[@matthewl.5612]

Ok. My 2 cents. I heard of the issues with pre-ordering from their website so back when their prices were generally $425 I took advantage of sale and avoided pre-order, so I got the marrone chelsea boots instead of the oxblood. The patina was not as strong as I saw in the picture, and they smelled..... questionable when I opened the box (they really didn't smell good). I would argue that their chisel lasts are far more interesting than their oxfords and such. Really not worth the full price, but I can say that they have really gotten me compliments, and if the recrafting company they suggest for $125 full recraft does a good job in the future, that would be better imo than buying a new comparably styled shoe at $200

[@masonklein]

Nice man, could you do a video on your boots? I’d really love to see a review of your opinion on those specific boots before I buy them

[@matthewl.5612]

@@masonklein Hi sorry I cannot make a video but there are other reviews on different colors of the same boot. However I am glad to offer more details: I completely agree with Jon on the quality of the leather. With some Saphir the leather really pops and has an unbeatable depth at the price point, assuming you can get 50% off = $250 (they are in a whole new league compared to Beckett Simonon at $170. They shine up nicely and the questionable leather smell I mentioned disappears after a while. In terms of creasing it is light and is the kind reminiscent of a luxury leather shoe. The elastic is great and holds up well. The sole finishing is excellent and the heels give a satisfying tapping sound that give you a presence of power when you walk in them. They are comfortable for dress shoes. They don't pinch and the leather softens extremely well to your feet as they break in. In terms of sizing I went 1/2 size larger than what they suggested but that worked with me with a 1/4 size of extra room for my normal width feet. The sides of the boot hug your ankles nicely and don't leave much extra room. I use a shoe horn to get them on almost every time and keep shoe horn in them for at least 24hrs after a day of wear. So to recap they are completely worth at 50% off but I can't speak for pre-ordering. lemme know if you have any questions

[@Mstfhshm]

Hi Matthew, is it true the IT starts to show signs of poor quality after a few wears ?

[@FatherVampire]

How do these compare with your Beckett-Simonon Valencia Wholecuts?

[@richardburgie]

👞I don't own any PE's, but I've worn BS Valencias for 1 year. They look like 007's Crockett & Jones. The leather comforts my feet, and it's taken a year for wrinkles to start.👞

[@CasvalRemDaikun0079]

I would suggest you to check out J. Fitzpatrick, it is a British brand, and at a normal price range of 430 ish? It is a really really good brand that you should definitely take a look at, also at 500 price range there is a brand called Carmine who also have fine build quality.

I have 4 pairs of Paul Evans, never paid retail for them. On average, I've paid $200 for the shoes. At that price I have gotten a steal, all the shoes look absolutely new and I get compliments all the time. I've never dealt with their customer service, haven't had any issues with my order. I get 2 to 3 mails a year for their "private sales", don't know if it's because of customer loyalty or just sales they throw out but that has kept me buying their shoes.

[@fantasticalhistory4285]

Allen Edmonds is better. Classic timeless design, great quality and 100% American made at a lower price. Why buy Paul Evans when you can have that?

[@jamesw1659]

Allen Edmonds look like cinder blocks compared to these. The Paul Evans look Italian. I own both pairs Jon reviewed; I also own two pair of AE. I got mine on sale, and the AE were not cheaper. The leather is richer on the Paul Evans, and they take a better shine. They look much more stylish and expensive up close. They all seem to be wearing about the same, but I take very good care of my shoes.

[@archipelago9376]

I just got a pair of PE wholecuts myself and am quite disappointed by the narrow lasts (which was hard to tell in all the videos I've seen, wish Kavalier would have commented!). The toe box is much too long, yet if I go any smaller in size then my pinkie/ring toes would be cramped. I measured the proportions vs my AE Park Aves (in E width, i.e. slightly wide, but not EEE), and they are *significantly* more narrow. Unfortunately, these simply don't work with my feet, and PE doesn't offer any other widths (or lasts) for the style. It'll be a return for me--really hoping I don't have to deal with the nightmare others have here! Guess I'll try Ace Marks for the style (whole cuts) and hope they're better--? Anyone else have any solid reccos on quality wholecuts (in burgundy)? Meermin, which I like, has a pair but I have the same issue (Meermin only has it in their narrow last, and not the "Hiro" last that I really like & works well, as it's similar to AE's 65 last). P.S. both the shipping and return processes for PE aren't free--basically I'm having to pay $27 just to try on their shoes! 1) I even live in NYC--what happened to their store?? 2) It's 2019, and this is a DTC company with different sizes for people to try on. Please "step up your shipping game," Paul Evans

[@steverocksyo]

Yay, black shoes. Love them. Socks too.

[@reeceholland2796]

I just can’t get behind them. Feel like they are a rip off. Maybe at $250 they would be worth it.

[@jamesw1659]

Based on what? I own both pairs Jon reviewed here, and I can tell you that they are, indeed, made of much-superior leather than any of the lower-priced alternatives. They will take a shine better than any of the brands people mention in these comments, and they look far more expensive than they are. The secret is to buy them on sale. Put it this way...something like Allen Edmonds looks like cinder blocks (high-quality cinder blocks, but cinder blocks). Paul Evans look Italian. Give them a shot.

[@tylerchin8760]

Paul Evans vs Ace Marks?

[@The_Kavalier]

Yes absolutely

[@ChrisDittrick]

I have both - I'd say the lasts on some models are incredibly similar, however the leather quality on the Ace Marks is quite inferior. The creasing on the AM's is not very pretty, whereas the PE's mimic what Kav says in the vid. The belts from each are near identical though, with a different buckle shape. I believe they come out of the same factory, just with different material quality to hit the price points.

[@FMH306]

what about the size difference between the two? is PE 1 size down compared to AM, or did you go down even more?

[@ChrisDittrick]

For me it was 1.5 size difference. I'm an 8 in PE, 9.5 in AM.

[@hugol.7612]

Both brands seem to have very similar lasts

[@ethanbartlett8208]

[@miltkeller8885]

As I said a year ago...I'll stick with with AE, they fit superbly! I have a wide foot, (!0.5 EEE) and AE , fits I own over 40 pairs, almost every style, every color, suede, spectators, both brown and white...pretty well fixed. I have enough to last me the rest of my life!

[@errolmacdonald3256]

I don't really like the platypus shape of the shoe in profile, even though it may conform to actual human feet. I prefer more of a gentle slope to the toe. But the leather has to be substantial or it will kind of collapse into...well, that platypus profile.

[@redx603]

1. A nice shoe as expected, but in my option nothing special then AE. AceMark’s last is most elegant among them. My wholecut don’t have metal eyelet which I find unacceptable for a 400 shoe as the tension from laces will damage the leather eventually. 2. Their customer service is shocking: the First shoe, sizing issue, not crazy about the color but no even exchange even just the size. They will refund me the promo price 299 and currently, these shoes are not on sale so I can’t do any exchange unless I want to add $100. I have about 10 pair of similar shoe from different companies and never seen anything like this.

[@gesu1742]

I like the review, but in my opinion whole cuts need a more interesting and sleeker last, otherwise it looks bad, boring or cheap.

[@wyattstoltzfus8377]

Yo really should check out J Fitzpatrick

[@soulchorea]

I've owned 3 different pairs of Paul Evans so far since 2018, and they've all been great. Customer service seems to work with me with any issues, which so far have been my own fault because I ordered the wrong size once (was exchanged by them with no argument, despite their clear notices posted on the site stating that for anything purchased with the annual 40% off, the sale is final with no exchanges/refunds). I'll definitely be buying from them again! The leather is very soft and very easy to get a nice mirror shine. Also saw some comments about waiting 3+ months - this *may be the case when ordering them at 40% off, depending on your size, which is also pretty clearly posted when you're buying them. If your size is out of stock and on backorder, it says it right there before you pay the money. The first time I ordered was in January of 2018, and it took till April to come in, but I knew that before I pushed "buy". 2019 purchase came in very quickly since I ordered right away and they still had my size in stock.

[@jamesw1659]

Agree completely...I had similar experience with them. They look significantly more Italian (read: stylish) and expensive than many other shoes mentioned here. The secret is to get them on sale.

Ever since brown became the new black, no one wears black. Which is part of the reason why I wear it.

[@DaveEye65]

I echo Ahmad. Never in stock and have to pre-order?? Definitely not worth $500...$300 max. They are not of the same quality or comfort level of Allen Edmonds at all. Getting the right size is total pain! Ace Marks are better value, much more imaginative in their designs and the sizing is straightforward. Allen Edmonds are easily the most comfortable of the three. I own all 3 brands.

[@jski718]

Yea I agree. I bought a pair of Paul Evan's when they were deeply discounted around New Year's to try them out and I don't even wear the things now. The leather lining inside the loafer is garbage and they always give me blisters on the back of my heel. The suede is not as good as AE, the silhouette is off and the toe is weirdly pointy. I own like 20 pairs of AE's and they have always been extremely comfortable right out of the box. Paul Evan's customer service is terrible as well.

[@broadneydangerfield]

You all have saved me from a potential mess of a situation. Thank you. We all know that negative reviews tend to overcrowd positive ones in the minds of potential customers, but this many poor reviews just doesn't sit right with me. Everything from customer service, to a weird return policy, to the wait, to for quality. I've heard some good things, few great things, and far too many negative things at this point.

Thank you for keeping me in check Kamil 😊

[@sunilgolla8830]

My suggestion to the Kavalier is to stop promoting Paul Evans through this video for the sake of maintaining your own credibility. The general consensus among buyers is that Paul Evans is a terrible company, shoes are overpriced and customer service is awful. On purpose they delayed my refund on the returned shoes, did not reply to my initial email inquiry regarding refunds. It seems they want to hold on to your money as long as they could as it gives them working capital, shady practice. They did not have the courtesy to acknowledge delay in processing refund. I had to dispute the transaction with bank, after that I received an email from Paul Evans customer service full of abusive language directed toward me. What kind of business abuses customers on the email!

Paul Evans shoes are shit. I would know i ordered 2 pairs of them. Their customer service is horrendous. Dont make my mistake. I switched to Allen Edmonds shoes and both the the shoe and customer service were so much better.

I dislike all this BS about size. If a shoe is a size off there’s a problem with the manufacturer not the customer. Also feel that Paul Evans are horrible value.
