This company needs more love from consumers. They were all the rage with KZbin style gurus till 2 years back. Good to see them make a comeback with no less than stridewise.

[@Stridewise]

The price is so bonkers relative to the quality! Glad you still carry a flame for them Divesh

[@LilDietz6]

Yess! I've had some of Beckett Siminon Douglas Jodhpur boots for 6months now and they are by far my favorite boots I own!

[@Stridewise]

Oh nice! Glad to get your feedback Thomas

[@KoolKyurem25]

I've had a pair in Bordeaux for a couple years now and they're really quite great. Comfy, stylish, and great value since you can often get discounts to get them a decent bit under $200.

[@Stridewise]

Yeah it's a super underrated company, nice to hear you got yourself a pair

[@SinjiKazama]

I appreciate the honesty in this review. Unfortunately no shipping to EU.

[@Stridewise]

Sorry Shinji! It's rough in Europe.

[@bwo5492]

After a 6 month wait I received my Jodhpur boots today. And yes they were worth the wait and surprising comfortable as I am usually hard to fit. They are beautifully made. Thanks for your review.

[@ManoloVintage]

I have a few of these boots and I love them. I'm currently waiting for the black jodphur boots. As for sizing I say it's true to size based off of the brand shoes I tend to wear. In converse and vans I'm a size 10 so I ordered size 10 and they are perfect. In Nike I'm a size 10.5. So if you wear Nike and have skinny Nike feet then most likely you will need to order a half size down.

[@Stridewise]

yeah I own a ton of their henleys and have been meaning to try their jackets!

[@markorombolakis6281]

If youre a 10.5/11 what size would you go? Dont have narrow feet.

[@ManoloVintage]

@@markorombolakis6281 I dont have narrow feet either. I'm a size 10 in Van's and Converse but a size 10.5 in Nike and Asics and New Balance because those shoes don't leave room for your toes. I measure exactly 10 on those metal tray foot measuring things in the shoe store. For myself I went with size 10 because the Beckett Simonon boots leave room for your toes. So basically I'd say get the 10.5 boot size for yourself.

[@HandsomeJackHere]

What about winter wear? Looking at that leather outsole I’m not sure how they would fair in winter conditions

[@sydney4911]

I hope that you will give us an update on how they hold up to a New York winter. While I don't know that I would purposely wear them when I know the weather is going to be bad, we all have those days when we go into work and the sky is blue, when we come out, well let's just say the weather can be a nightmare. I really like the look of these boots and I think you did a great job reviewing them. Only complaint I have is you didn't state your size and what size you went down to and is this common is Beckett Simonon. Thanks for the review!

[@baberoot1998]

Have owned just about every boot out there...ever made...except a Jodhpur. Looking around, doing the research, to discover which brand and price point is right for me. The Douglas...by Beckett and Simonon...is at the top of the list for the moment. Still searching...but BS may end up the winner. Time will tell. Time to own a Jodhpur...I think it is a fantastic look. Thanks for the video.

[@Stridewise]

Yeah I'm coming around on Jodhpurs, especially because I have unusually skinny ankles so chelseas often don't secure themselves as well as they should

[@rickt.223]

Ok, you’ve totally convinced me. Great review. Ordering these boots today!

[@chipmarshall185]

You wont go wrong they re worth the wait. I have 5 pairs of different types so far

[@jicalzad]

love their shoes, own a pair of one of their oxfords. I wish they would consider incorporating more soles w/ rubber, as i prefer that to leather bottoms. Otherwise, they feel/look pretty high quality.

[@brandon-leelucas3534]

I went with the Easton side zip instead of these. Same last but I like the look of the zipper more than the buckle. I absolutely love them.

[@Stridewise]

Beautiful work!

[@reezethevampire]

Only $200?! Like...how? That's an unreal price for a pair of lined dress boots coming with that kind of presentation. Absolutely amazing.

[@Stridewise]

Yeah even them being MTO and made in Colombia doesn't seem to add up here but hey, we're not complaining

[@gnarl12]

@@Stridewise low labor costs and they only make what's been ordered. So essentially zero inventory. They use.... 3 lasts. An oxford last, a derby shoe last, and a boot last. Same construction method on everything. So their operation is pretty streamlined.

[@corensam]

Lotta hate in the comments! Sheesh! It's a divisive style but Troy rocks it. I tend to prefer a chelsea myself, but you do you. Seems like a solid boot for awesome value.

[@troybarmore5832]

Thank you kindly!

[@IPusers]

I got the Elliot Balmorals in black It was like Christmas morning when I got them, and a handwritten letter from the representative, packaging, boots bags. 10/10

[@element720]

I’m trying resist urge to get yet another pair of boots, but these look stunning

[@rogerr.8507]

I like this guy better than the normal guy. good review

[@Stridewise]

hey!

[@troybarmore5832]

🤣

[@Abruzzo333]

I own these and they are exquisite. Best boots I've owned.

[@devvoid1312]

In the world of MTO boots, 3 months is pretty standard, if not actually on the lower side of time.

[@datharo5]

Since the boots and shoes are all sold out I looked at the trainers. The trainers are very beautiful as well!

[@ihp7]

Nice video! Question for you, what are those black jeans that you're wearing in the B-roll footage? Thanks!

[@troybarmore5832]

Thank you! The jeans are 13oz Bravestar Skeleton Skinny.

[@taylorrose9779]

How would you compare these boots to something like the Thursday Boots Chelsea Collection?

[@minnesota-hk1vp]

Love your content!!!!

[@Stridewise]

Thanks man!

[@mikeblast7507]

Well balanced, nearly perfect review. I have two pairs of BS shoes, whole cuts and chukkas. I have a pair of Jodphurs on order. I'm a 9 1/2 D, and they fit perfectly. Try to find a decent pair of whole cuts for anywhere near BS quality at their price. Yeah, they take forever to get, but you know that going in. If you can't wait, then you have lots of other choices.

[@zack4president]

The buckles are, in fact, cheap. I recently replaced the buckles on my Thursday Jodhpur boots and got this exact buckle for $2 a piece, shipping included.

[@mrandmrscorona8658]

Nice looking boot! I’m a fan of their sneakers… my experience… my sneakers where delivered in a month a half

[@Stridewise]

Yeah for us it was 8+ weeks but I have those sneakers too and will get a review up in spring!

[@coyote4936]

I like the black ones a lot

[@gnarl12]

I have a few pairs of Beckett Simonon shoes and they are great. Not AMAZING 11/10 but very nice for the price

[@Stridewise]

Totally agree!

[@0f556]

Any more info on sizing? The website instructs to go with Brannock, but Troy mentioned he went 1/2 down.

[@thomasbroich5439]

If you love shoes- like I do. You’ve got a lot of choices. My orders have run about 8 weeks,the customer service is great and the wait is worth it.

[@Stridewise]

Totally agree Thomas!

[@bill_tin]

waiting 8-12 weeks seems worth it

[@MikaelHindsberg]

Have anybody figured out a way to order these to Europe?

[@xfghsthsh]

Major cons. with this shoe: Is a thin cut of leather Blake stitched. Priced higher for what it is Pros: Word Italian attached to the materials Stitchings and design is flawless. There are many other lesser known manufacturers offering better material and craftsmanship at similar price points.

[@Stridewise]

You can criticize the leather thinness if you like (although it's pretty par for the course for a dressy boot) but it absolutely is not priced higher for what it is

[@Abruzzo333]

They are amazing. Easily worth twice what you're paying. I doubt you actually own a pair by your comments.

[@StolenAlias]

You’re wearing the sable black Bravestars right?

[@rockygabriel7096]

13oz bravestar skeleton skinny i guess..

[@troybarmore5832]

Yes, I believe it’s the sable black.

[@brunonjezic6208]

So this are the boots that one needs to ware Reverso to get historical influences right

[@richardwright4456]

Hi Nick! You look different…Is it the watch? 😂😂😂

@@simonmandrakejones hahaha this is great. Troy's done a few other videos but this is the first time I haven't introduced him, I thought he was old news by now!

[@simonmandrakejones]

@@Stridewise I liked it and enjoyed his run down of the boots...So I am happy to see Troy make a return visit in the future.

[@fuadabdikarim]

One negative thing about their boots and many of their shoes is, the sole is very thin

[@Stridewise]

Do you find they're thinner than the average leather sole?

[@ohmyrufiohhh1303]

I waited 10 months and still never got my shoes. Would much rather pay $100 more to have something in a acceptable timeframe.

[@Stridewise]

Yikes! Did you talk to them?

[@fullmetalroyal1216]

Yea right lol

[@ohmyrufiohhh1303]

@@Stridewise yes they gave me those weekly updates about how the process was going but it got old after about two months. Then it was constant excuses on why the process was getting delayed. They eventually refunded me what I paid.

[@14s0cc3r14]

Isn’t vachetta leather just a fancy Italian way to say undyed calfskin leather?

[@Stridewise]

it's fattier and it's veg tan are the main distinguishers

[@fraac]

i thought nick was stridewise. nick stridewise, is that not his name?

[@Stridewise]

I mean it's not my literal name it's the site's name and there are lots of different contributors - Troy is one of them!

[@tommysmith7031]

I believe the man you are used to seeing is Nick English. Does that make him literally English?

[@Commander_HW]

(This is only my personal opinion, and I do not mean to attack anyone. Just purely expressing how i feel about these boots.) I think the buckle really makes the boots look kinda feminine, and the shine of the leather makes whoever wears those boots look so into themselves. But of course we all have different tastes. I do have to say these boots look like they cost more than just $200.

[@Stridewise]

I guess that's just an issue you have with the jodhpur style itself, which is fair. Maybe suede would be more up your alley!

[@Commander_HW]

@@Stridewise Emm, I think i'm still more of a red wing, thursday, white's kinda guy.

[@corensam]

@@Commander_HW So you're telling me you'd be into it if White's made a jodhpur? I doubt it. Cool if not your style, but lay off man

[@Commander_HW]

@@corensam Go to these brands websites and take a look, then you'll know i'm referring to work, rugged style. And are you from north korea or USA or something where people can't express their opinion?

[@TuneinR]

How much did beckett simonon paid you to perform their gimmick

[@Stridewise]

there must be more constructive ways to criticize, right? what's your actual beef?

[@TuneinR]

@@Stridewise No...this is already constructive. Dont destroy it.
