The BEST SHOES In My Collection? | Y BY YEOSSAL OXFORDS Unboxing

#NewYork
These are very likely the most beautiful pair that I own so far. Do you agree?
*Correction: the shoes aren't called The Duke. Yeossal just used that name as a placeholder on my order form. The updated name is Collyer.
*Correction: I mentioned Joe Works are handwelted. My bad, they’re Goodyear welted. I knew that but I forgot.

Do you think these are my best shoes? Also, what do you think about Y By Yeossal? Let me know.

[@Rasputin92]

Beautiful indeed!!

[@phillipmoodie9071]

That's a really smart looking shoe. As I am evaluating trying Online shopping for the first time your comments on finding a comfortable fit were very interesting. I wear an 8.5EEE and in Australia they are becoming hard to find. While RMRS has grown it's subscribers base, it has become more of a Fashion Magazine format. Which is not a criticism, but that leaves room in the marketplace for channels that are more tightly focused. As the underlying Carrier technology is my area of Global expertise, I am not qualified to comment on the rapidly changing KZbin marketplace, but as a top flight Sales and Marketing Director, with decades of Global experience, with the World largest Multinational Corporations, I well know that it is easier to survive, when the competition increases, if the business is a tightly focused structure, because it takes a lot of man-hours to become proficient in a Generalist business. Enjoyed watching at 3am on Wednesday in Australia because your joy in presenting it gave it the most sparkle of any of the YT videos I have seen. Now I am going back to bed Lol.!!! Phil.

My Man Vlad ... just when I think you have made the best possible video on shoes and menswear you go out and top that again. Congratulations on a very nice video. You have the best and most engaging menswear video on youtube. The shoe look absolutely amazing and commendable. The makers have obviously spared no effort to make this wonderful shoe and at such a price point. I also love the little details in the box and packaging.

[@georgesparks7833]

Just purchased Yeossal, very similar to yours. It does not have the medallion. Brown in color, amazing brand. Great presentation 🙂

[@v_r_]

I love Yeossal, bro! I have a new pair I’ve yet to unbox on the channel. Stay tuned!

[@alexnw6050]

I have to say I appreciate that you go outside the "traditional" and "English brands" and how you keep your ear to the ground for the up and coming brands. Also, those are sick! Such a sexy shoe. Love the video, but you're starting to tempt me to increase my shoe budget above Carmina, J. Fitzpatrick, Cobbler Union, and TLB range.

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Alex? All the brands mentioned are great brands btw. I’m definitely leaning more towards handwelted shoes and those do come with a higher price tag. But I’ll still keep supporting brands that do good work regardless if they’re GYW or HW.

[@alexnw6050]

@@v_r_ , for sure. You're just giving me that shoe envy though. More power to you, if nothing else it gives us good content. I used to say the only shoes I'd buy that are RTW and more expensive than Carmina are Crockett and Jones (and maybe 1 pair of Gaziano and Girling), but now....I have to add Y by Yeossal. But that's it though, I have to draw the line somewhere. One can only have sooo many RTW goodyear welted shoes, famous last words (I already have 12)...........so anything over $670 and I'll just save that money and buy bespoke (either in Spain from Ramon Cuberta or an independent maker in England - good excuse to travel too) lol.

[@Blast20nx]

Check out Antonio Meccariello, Paolo Scafora, Stefano and Mario Bemer plus Wayman Bespoke.

[@alexnw6050]

@@Blast20nx Thanks for the suggestion. From what I've seen Ramon Cuberta and Nicolas Templeman both seem to be makers I gravitate towards, both in style and personality (something I think is important in bespoke shoes). Definitely impress by Stefano Bemer and Mario Bemer, and Paolo Sacfora. I think I lean heavily towards Ramon Cuberta because I have reasons to go to Spain every couple of years, and after meeting him, he's just a great human being. Appreciate the recommendations though, so many great makers out there.

[@kojiattwood]

I let out a huge sigh of relief that those fit you! Congrats, they look fabulous with the grey--

[@v_r_]

You and I both, my brother! I was so nervous. And you’re right, that medium grey looks good with it.

[@nodieusa]

Bruh I ordered the same pair and pretty much same features but in Plum Museum! Can't wait to receive them! My feet are also on the flatter side and slightly higher instep so I can certainly sympathize! Beautiful shoes!!! Your channel is killing it! I have no patience for real man real style and some of the highly paid folks in his company promoting paid content. They might be a good starting for men thinking about leaving their basketball shorts and flip flops behind and soon you'll grow out of them. All your tips so far have been amazing, please keep them coming!

[@v_r_]

Bro, I wasn’t exaggerating when I said it took me a week to choose the leather, I’m terrible LOL. Plum museum was in the running as well, your shoes are going to be legit. Which last did you choose? And thanks so much for your kind words, they mean a lot. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@nodieusa]

@@v_r_ I went back and forth between leathers and lasts, probably longer than a week :) I went with the YC3 last. I feel you on the hand lasted comments you made, once you step up to a certain level of quality it's so hard to look at certain popular brands the same way...

[@cgranero1]

Gorgeous shoes! I saw that RMRS video pop up just after you did yours. I wondered if he had copied you, but I don't think so. His video was very different, and included a bunch of different budgets. 750 was his lowest budget. But his video also just gave you a breakdown of how much money to spend on each item depending on your budget, rather than actually telling you where you could buy that item for that price. I liked that your video gave specific brands to buy from. That's way more helpful.

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Chris? Thanks for the summary, I didn’t think he copied my video either even though I didn’t watch his. I had to address it though as I’ve been asked about it a few times the past week.

[@gavsteronline7955]

Vlad, you're a humble guy with a great and humorous attitude. I love your channel and far prefer it to the larger mass subscribed channels. Your clothing and shoe reviews and advice is niche and classy.

[@v_r_]

Thanks, fam! I really appreciate that. I knew that I could bring something different to the table so I’m glad that I got started on KZbin.

[@errolmacdonald3256]

Very nice shoes. And I have never seen spade soles before, so thanks for choosing them. They look beautiful. Plus you made a great choice in the museum leather and the kind of cafe-au-lait colour. Subtle and unusual.

[@AnonNotAnonymous]

🔥🔥🔥🔥 definitely best shoes in your collection. I’m biased though. I think captor balmorals are such good looking shoes. That spade sole sets them off. I’m definitely jealous. Wish I had them in my collection

[@v_r_]

I think I agree! I do love balmorals and surprised that I didn't have one before. So now I have another one on the way.

[@primoxxl71]

First off, Yeossal looks like they do great work! They look amazing Vlad! I need to get on them soon. Maybe around November. The spade sole is interesting. Singapore has amazing sartorial entrepreneurs. You know I love Vanda, as well Dylan & Son's already cut some material to make me a SC whenever I can out of the Middle East for a week. And now Yeossal, I think some chukkas maybe in order. BTW, when we mention you to them, is it some sort discount or something? Stay fresh. Think about doing some ensemble shots while telling what you are wearing. Just a suggestion.

[@v_r_]

What’s good, Primo? Speaking of Vanda, I’m slowly creeping towards my free tie 😂😂. You’re so right about Singapore, they don’t come up in the sartorial conversation much but maybe they should. And yes, I just found a decent spot to do full body shots, so that will be implemented in future videos, I did a little bit of it for the Charcoal suit video. Thanks for watching and showing love as always.

[@v_r_]

One last thing, there isn’t any discounts, unfortunately. But just for them to see that my peoples trust my word 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@Ikari777]

Stunning shoes man! They make the sexiest shoes I've seen for the price, and some of the best, period! Gorgeous last, design choices on your part and execution on their part, and the spade sole with the fiddleback is perfection! Just so stunning! Love museum calf too, that color choice was excellent!

[@v_r_]

What's up, Chris? Took me forever to pick the leather but I think I did well. Yeossal is a force and I hope they get a lot of well-deserved recognition from this video.

[@adriancooper78]

Those shoes are tremendous!! I like the color and the captoe. I subscribe to Your channel, Real Men Real Style and to the Gentleman's Gazette. I like your channel because you're down-to-earth and you speak the truth about style frankly!!! You also give us a lot of names in fashion (corporate style/office style) that people may not be familiar with. And the video for putting an ENSAMBLE together for under 750$ is realistic and on point. If you wanna look good you gonna have to spend some money. You can't be cheap!!!

@@v_r_ Thanks for the reply! S&M is pretty unbeatable in this price range, especially since I got the suit for only $260 down from $450. It's the end of the season so they're on the last of their sizes but if I find something I'll lyk how they are. Take it easy and stay safe.

[@muahharhahaha]

Hey Vlad, could you please do a video on Chelsea boots? I'd love to hear your take on them, would also be a great opportunity for you to try other shoemakers! Thanks!

[@makiostar199127]

Been waiting for this video since you released a teaser pic on Instagram a week back.

[@v_r_]

Haha...I’ve been looking forward to finally unbox a pair of Yeossal for the longest time, bro.

[@tiltsf]

Word, thanks for sharing, man...I'm on the group order with you on the pie crust aprons, so this is some great insight on their quality, etc. Two things: 1) I think the spade sole style to lends itself to definitely wear with suits, maybe almost exclusively...seems like mostly a formal cut option to me...(and I think I'd only one pair with that cut, too) and 2) I was quite surprised that these are the only shoes in your current collection with a medallion - do you generally not like them? Thanks again (and I see you still got the ring on in the video, so although the background beat was thumping in my living room, I knew you weren't in the club! LOL)

[@v_r_]

Haha...come off like wedding rings in night clubs, bro 😂😂. I would say spade soles only work with Oxfords IMO. I like them but not sure it’s something I would get again as I don’t really like things that stand out too much. My wife was like I’ve never seen that on your shoes before, not really my style. As far as medallions, I’d say it’s just a coincidence as I do like them.

My brother, thank you! You just named all my favorites

[@darenius3105]

Hey! I’d like to hear your thoughts on Pini Parma suits.

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Roman? I hear that they’re decent but haven’t had a chance to try them yet, unfortunately.

[@darenius3105]

Vladimir Riché great channel! Keep it up!

[@katerynefier]

I can’t wait for my pie crust split toe’s to come in. Your so right that the outfit has to start at the shoes. I always thought I dressed nice and professionally at work but once I started wearing higher quality and properly shined shoes people really notice and respect follows.

[@v_r_]

Yes sir! The shoes are the foundation always. And like you Rey, I can't wait for my split toes.

[@yah3238]

Fire shoes bro. I do really need to check them out. One thing you forgot to mention about your what are you wearing breakdown. Where is that pocket square from? Love the colors.

[@kilduce4423]

I don’t know if you already made a video on this but you should make one on how different brands of shoes are sized different. (If you experience the same thing I go through when ordering online)

[@v_r_]

Great idea! I do have a video planned comparing some shoes in the same style but from different brands. I’ll mention the sizing as well.

[@kilduce4423]

Vladimir Riché 🙏🏽

[@gniewko125]

Absolutely gorgeous shoes! How does the width in the toe area compare to Carmina rain last?

[@v_r_]

That’s a great question, I’ll try both on over the weekend and get back to you.

[@furdiebant]

The unique swan neck, fiddleback waist and the museum calf are stand outs here. Nice shoes indeed

[@furdiebant]

Wow just realised these are 650 USD....I would’ve thought 1500...incredible value

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Bob? I agree, Yeossal is one of the best at that price point.

[@furdiebant]

Vladimir Riché for sure Vlad. All well here hope same for you!

[@UncleSaif]

Shoes are fly Vlad!!! Any comment on Pakistan bespoke shoes?

[@luckasalteon3138]

Those shoes are clean. What do you think about Full grain leather? Do you think that’s great quality?

[@KL-ps6pp]

Hi Vladimir, How do you think of Bontoni, lobbs and EG?

[@v_r_]

Those are all good brands. I found Lobb a little overrated. EG uses top of the line leather and their finishes are one of the best in the industry.

[@shahtel]

I like the yen’s Sao but how can we get them for sub 600 with a group order? R u doing another mto group order this year?

[@v_r_]

I might put one together but it’ll probably be in a different style. But all Yeossal need is 4 orders to waive the custom fee. So if you know 3 guys that are willing to do it or you can pitch the idea in the Yeosssl thread on StyleForum.net to see if anyone wants to join.

[@shahtel]

@@v_r_ hope you do. Do another yeossal review after you've broken them in!

[@Imhotep0013]

Those shoes are clean! Nice pick.

[@v_r_]

Thanks, my brother! Yeossal did a great job.

[@markallenwilliams]

What up Vlad!! Shoes are 🔥🔥🔥 I wear a US size 11.5E. What do you suggest size wise for myself when ordering a pair? Also, what do I need to do to give you credit for influencing my purchase from the company? Much love Bro!!!

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Mark? The Yeossal guys are a lot better at answering sizing questions, also their sizing numbers are different than what I’m used to. As far as giving me credit, you just have to include my name in the order notes and they’ll see it came from me, I appreciate you.

[@markallenwilliams]

Vladimir Riché Done Fam!!!

[@pedrorivera9779]

Another outstanding video. Thanks!

[@sirjag2922]

Bing watching your videos in 2024!!

[@v_r_]

Appreciate the love, my brother! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@DCYTB]

Their SG65 last is too sexy with spade soles to not get a pair of wholecuts 😫 I’m gonna order soon but I’m not sure about the sizing. I think you and I are the exact same size too. I fit perfectly in a pair size 8US of carmina Oxfords. Should I still go with a 7UK for the SG65? I’m on the wider side too but I usually go with a D or M width.

[@v_r_]

For sizing, reach out to Yeossal via instagram message as they’re very responsive on that platform. I would guess you’d be a 40 but it depends on which Carmina last and which Y last and the type of feet that you have.

[@tonydeltablues]

A very, very nice shoe; love the spade sole :-)

[@fragrancemafia1778]

Whats up Vladimir, what are your thoughts on Exotic Shoes such as Crocodile or Alligator Oxfords & Monk straps ? Do you think they're tacky ?

[@יהודהאמינוב]

I wanted to tell you that for me at least your channel is a different league man. I know a lot of great channels on KZbin but I look forward to your next video every time and you are awesome carry on. And you will reach greatness By the way there is a company I would love to hear your opinion on oliver wicks

[@v_r_]

Thanks, fam! I truly appreciate your kind words and support, they mean a lot. Oliver Wicks is a company I’ve heard of but don’t know that much about. Have you tried them?

[@יהודהאמינוב]

@@v_r_ I order a suit and it is in production for now

[@v_r_]

Keep me posted, I’d like to hear your thoughts.

[@Judge_RR]

Mr. Riche (pardon me, I am unable to add the stress onto the e), thanks for going through the different shoe brands; in what I consider to be, a tasteful manner.

[@v_r_]

Haha...it’s all good. Typing on a Mac or an iPhone makes it a lot easier. And yes, I like to talk about brands I like and think that you guys will to. So far, so good.

[@Judge_RR]

@@v_r_ I am on a quest to find the perfectly balanced round / almond toe Balmoral Oxford. Any last / brand recommendations?

[@raekwonmc]

Hey Vladimir, Loving the coverage of Yeossal right about now. I have a question: based on my calculations, the Split Toe Derby on MTO weighs in at $950 or £725 including lasted shoe trees and import/customs duty to the UK. Does this represent good value or should I be looking somewhere else?. Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Anil? Reading those numbers sound very high but that’s only because I always see things in USD with no VAT. But all things being considered, if you’re looking for a nice SpTD that’s handwelted and you can pick every detail and leather that you want, I’d say Yeossal is a great value.

[@raekwonmc]

@@v_r_ Thanks for the suggestion, they look amazing! Hyped for your SpTD unboxing soon👌

[@v_r_]

Me too, it’s gonna be a good one.

[@lapizza7206]

They look awesome. Does yeossal offer last alterations to all customers?

[@v_r_]

Thank you, Courtland! I believe they do but I’d say reach out to them via IG and tell them I sent you..LOL.

[@meltonboroughcouncilaresht4292]

Sweet, man...I'm ordering NOW!!!

[@jn9065]

Beautiful shoes! I have some coming. I have one question about Goodyear vs. Hand welting. I know I can take my Good year shoes to any competent shoe shop and they can perform any kind of maintenance. I have GY shoes that are 12 years old and look wonderful. If you buy Fukudas for $2.5 k, it's well worth it to send your shoes back to Japan for maintenance or hand them off to Fukuda-San when he comes to NYC. But what's the end game for all your HW shoes? It's not worth sending a pair of $600 shoes back to China - or is it?. Have you thought through what you're going to do when you need repairs? Do you think you can have a regular shoe shop work on that kind of construction? HW is great and all the rage, but the lore of GY shoes is how easy it is to even resole them 10 times or more. Let me know your thoughts on this. Finally, can you do a video on these say, 6 moths, 9 months and a 1 year later. Although I'll have my own, I'd like to see how they wear over time, which is the real test of a shoe. My dad always says "all shoes look beautiful when you take them out the box for the first time". He is old school and doesn't trust shoes made outside of NorthHampton, Japanese trained in NorthHampton and maybe some of Europe. I'll break him out of that tho with these when I get them - hahaha Anyway, your shoes look great. Keep the videos coming!! We love you, bro!

[@v_r_]

Great comment, J N and I love y’all too btw. My understanding is there are some cobblers in NYC that can resole the shoes using the handwelted method. I haven’t figured out the cost yet though. I’m thinking that since my rotation is pretty good and my collection is only growing, I won’t have to resole any of my shoes anytime soon but only time will tell. And shoutout to your pops, he’s 100% right about the true test is when you’re able to wear the shoes for a little while. I will make some follow up videos in the future.

[@lwashington1189]

Beautiful shoe! I like you have a slightly wider than normal foot. I can't wait to see your split toe derby, they are my favorite. When do you expect the split toes to be in? The shape on those shoes is beautiful. Are you familiar with the Sons of Henrey - Oct. Tenth hand welted line? They remind me a lot of the Yeossal and they are both out of Shanghai. I am looking to place an order from one or the other, or both in due time.

[@jeykneeko_606]

Hey Vlad, where do you get your laces from?

[@v_r_]

I get spare flat laces from A Fine Pair Of Shoes 👉🏾 bit.ly/2UWwzTd

[@monkeypawism]

How's the fit compared to say Carmina lasts? Sharp!

[@m3stevie]

Based on your description we have the same foot issues. I’m a 13d in most dress shoes . Do you wear the same size in TLB Mallorca?

[@TheCrisisX1]

Would you recommend the dress trousers from S&M?

[@v_r_]

For sure, I have multiple pairs

I'm so sad, scared of getting Yeossal stuff because of import duties to Europe. I've paid those once ... never again... Yeossal has such beautifull stuff! Guess i'll have to stick with TLB artista's for now

Same here, we can get butchered. Also refraining from Spier McKay for the same reason...

I feel you and I’m so lucky that I don’t have to deal with that. The good news is, TLB Artista makes excellent shoes, I love them.
