Unbox A Shoe Enthusiast's Dream | Sons of Henrey George Utah Grain SPLIT TOE DERBY

Split Toe Derbies are the Classic Menswear enthusiast's shoe of choice. Because of their unique look, we all start off not liking them very much, then all of a sudden wondering where they have been our whole lives once we get them on our feet.
The George from Sons Of Henrey is the shoe that started my love affair with SpTD’s and I'm very happy to bring you another unboxing but this time is the incomparable Utah Grain calf.

Man! I’m still laughing at that pre-intro!

[@v_r_]

Haha

[@rhdtv2002]

Crazy I bought a split toe derby made by Allen Edmonds in great shape at Goodwill for 10.00.

[@MauriaMooreMedia]

The quality of your videos keep getting better!

[@v_r_]

Thanks, fam! 🙏🏾

[@MrFrescocotone]

Totally with you once again. The pinnacle would be the Edward Green Dover, but these are amazing. Split toe derby fit amazingly under a suit as well as jeans, fantastic for dressing down or up and immortal. Must have!

[@v_r_]

Yes! The Dover is in a class all by itself.

[@tetsugakusasahara9151]

You're slowly but surely becoming a Seiko / Grand Seiko / King Seiko collector my man!

[@v_r_]

My wife reads the comments so I have no clue what you’re talking about 😂😂😂

[@tetsugakusasahara9151]

@@v_r_ Lol! Sorry brother, didn't mean to impede your hustle

[@v_r_]

Haha…all love!

[@tetsugakusasahara9151]

@@v_r_ Hey brother, I know this is super random and unrelated to this video, but was just curious. I know you're a huge Spier & Mackay fan, but have you ever checked out Pini Parma?

[@toobalkain]

2 lovely pairs reviewed in succession, TLB captoes and these, gorgeous brown color on both. I don't know why, but it seems to be easier to make black leather look more expensive than it is but dark brown or museum can be tricky, it might take a certain quality, thickness and pliability of hide to really absorb the dyes and get the depth of color, I've never seen deep dark brown on cheaper shoes, they tend to have a reddish tint or just lack the color volume.

[@v_r_]

I’ve never seen any color shoes take on a mirror shine better than black shoes. It’s crazy!

[@nodieusa]

Happy to see you putting out content again brother! I bought this pair after I watched your first video and they're awesome! I went a little heavy on the toe shine but oh well, still get compliments often! Now the real reason for my comment, I just noticed the CR logo on the corner of the video, very nice and classy touch!

[@leonardcroft1467]

Hello Vladimir I Love My Split Toe Derby’s (3 Pair’s) . Always Enjoy Your Videos ! Love The Channel !

[@v_r_]

Thank you, Leonard! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@stephenrountree3214]

The challenge I have with most dressier lasts such as this; I have to size up too big to make room for my rounded toes. Love the shoes!

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

Same

[@v_r_]

I got you! The part that really sucks is there’s no way to trying them on before you buy them.

[@jakobdieckmann]

I have had these shoes for a few years now and I still reach out for them from time to time. They’re still good looking and absolutely have been good value for money. Your remarks about the apron and the rolling of the leather are spot on.

[@v_r_]

Same! I still wear my country calf pair as well.

[@stokermat112]

I just received mine today. Thanks for the discount!

[@yankeeking213]

Finally gonna pull the trigger on these, thanks Vlad

[@v_r_]

You’re welcome, my friend! You’re going to love them.

[@jamiedamaral4011]

Love these shoes! The Utah calf is amazing and the rubber sole is practical.

[@v_r_]

That leather is really special.

[@davidedmonds6427]

I love them, my first pair was Alden 2210 NST Derby in Shell Cordovan Color #8, you've SOLD ME on a pair.

[@8mcneely]

Vlad, I see you brother...from one to another...PEACE

[@v_r_]

Peace, King!

[@tonydeltablues]

Hey Vlad! SpTDs are my thing too (4 pairs). Agreed: the last shape suits the shoe. The leather same/similar to EG is impressive!

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Tony? The sad part is I still want a couple more.

[@tonydeltablues]

@@v_r_ Vlad: all good here. Going to London on the 13th May for the Super Trunk Show, so I'll see a lot of shoes! Yep, I like the SpTD and would add more to my collection too. Glad you're supporting the smaller brands doing quality. Best - Tony

[@v_r_]

You’re lucky, bro! Wish I could be there. Have a good time!

[@anzakwanza]

Vlad I would love to hear your perspective on wedding attire for the groom. What do you think of these ideas as I'm giving advice to my cousin for his wedding. 1. Wearing braces together with a cummerbund for a dinner suit (White blazer to be exact). 2. Cuffing black dinner trousers with satin stipe on legs. 3. Morning suits for the groom... I noticed it is not commonly worn in North America but it would be cool to hear your perspective. Love.

[@v_r_]

What’s up, bro? 1. Braces are to hold your trousers up. So you can definitely wear them with a cummerbund unlike belts with braces since they serve the same exact function. 2. No cuffs on formal trousers. 3. We don’t do morning suits here in America. So unless he’s going for a specific theme, I wouldn’t. I hope that helps.

[@Electron101]

carlos santos adds the process to their shoeboxes, always find little notes on it in any of my boots i got from them :)

[@v_r_]

I’ve never purchased from them directly. That’s probably why I haven’t seen one.

[@Electron101]

@@v_r_ oh neither have i, got them from thenobleshoe :)

[@terryadkins3630]

Excellent intro. Vlad, a video idea. Ever watch Sportscasters and the way they dress. For the most part sartorial but also polo shirts with suits and sneakers with suits for instance.yYou are a genius at style critique. I feel they follow your advice, tho.

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

That’s a nice looking pair of shoes, bro.

[@jeans6780]

That leather at that Price : Thats a miracle ! And the last looks very good too 👌

[@v_r_]

Exactly! Usually some brands even charge extra just for that leather.

[@buenosmayana6582]

Great video bro… I m hoping to get me one soon

[@v_r_]

You’re going to love it!

[@biscuitnoir1]

One can never have too many SpTD. If I wasn't afraid of getting my ass kicked by my girlfriend I'd have more than 2. I remember when you had none. That was a looooong time ago 😂

[@v_r_]

Time flies when you’re having fun. And I still want more 😂😂😂

[@darenius3105]

Add some Alden split toe in your collection. You won’t regret

[@v_r_]

Amen! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Great Job Fam…..

Thanks, my brother!

[@reginaldhjones9002]

Love your content and love the shoes but can't find my size on the website.

[@Javi_C]

Beautiful shoes!

[@v_r_]

Thanks, Javi!

[@bigbristv]

Yeah, I wanted those but they didn't have my size and I would have had to wait 😮. I already have the Carmina version (for like 13 yrs) but your vids made me want another pair. Thx fam😫 😂😂😂 I got the TLBs. But that UTAH on Dainite??? 🔥

[@v_r_]

I like the TLB because of the hand sewn apron too but I don’t own it. But like you said, that Utah leather and the price is what sets the SoH version apart.

[@bigbristv]

@@v_r_ I remember when you got your first pair of SoH split toes and described how they roll, not crease and I was like, those right there are for me!

[@marginkall]

order placed.

Do a new ‘state of the shoe collection’ video. I know you’ve got new heat to drop since the video 3 years ago
