I’m so excited to hear what you think about this brand. Sound off in the comments.

[@ninjadudeofficial]

In the UK you can get custom made-to-order Vass through Ascot shoes including alterations to the last where needed but these are looking like a strong contender can't lie

[@kevinbounds9837]

I would like to see the on outside or in the kitchen. Somewhere other than the rug or carpet. I am undecided if I like the height or (gap) between the ground and sole of the shoe at the waste?

[@nudaveritas6322]

As far as i am concerned as a shoemaker with a Masterdegree, this is executed Style, brilliant Craftsmanship, even the trimming and heel edge and the fiddle back waist is Top Notch!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulation from Germany!!! Viktor

[@eloy5575]

Vlad - big thanks for these last couple of videos. I have had a gap in several of my shoes and couldn't figure out what the problem was. Shoe tongues have helped. I love Bonafe shoes and wondering if they can make some minor modifications when I order MTO or recommend a last for flat feet? I will also give Wayman a try.

[@SP-qi8pw]

This is an incredible value…

[@TheElegantOxford]

These shoes are absolutely killer man! Great video

[@v_r_]

Thank you, Preston! It was really an experience. I’m looking forward to doing it again..LOL

[@waymanbespoke]

Hi guys, this is Simon from Wayman Bespoke. If you have any questions that weren't already answered in this amazing video, I will be happy to answer any of them for you. It's a complex topic and I am sure there will be many. Big THANKS to Vlad for making this video. Love every second of it!!

[@paigeofstylez]

Do you ship to the US

[@waymanbespoke]

Paige of Stylez yes, we ship world wide for free. The program is set up this way, so that people from anywhere in the world are able to experience bespoke shoes.

[@carrollmchaneyiii4938]

Does adding the trial shoe slow down the process?

[@waymanbespoke]

@@carrollmchaneyiii4938 Yes. The trial shoes take around 4 weeks to complete (including the time to make your lasts) then about a week for shipping. After receiving fit feedback from you, the last will be modified (if necessary) and the final shoes will be made within 12 weeks to your specifications. The trial shoes will only be necessary for the first pair so after that, you just need to tell us the model ans specs, and your shoes are ready within 12 weeks!

[@jayantriser9165]

😍😍😍Your shoes looks so beautiful. Hope you gain a lot of traction 🙏🏾

[@gitwun]

You have approx 125 videos. This is flat out #1 for me! I cannot wait to get involved with the Wayman process. A few months of hurdles to clear first, but no more shoes of any kind until I have my first Wayman pair, even if it means suit with flip flops to a church wedding. By the way, since subscribing, I'm no longer thought of as a hater, feels good, thanks man.

[@v_r_]

Haha...you’re funny, bro. But all jokes aside, Wayman Bespoke is out here doing the Lord’s work for us brothers with difficult feet. You’ll love them.

[@carrollmchaneyiii4938]

Dammit Vladimir just when I said I wasn’t buying anymore shoes for a while. Smh. “Just when I thought I was out they pulled me back in.” Lol beautiful shoes and cheers for reaching 10k subscribers.

[@anthonydaniels5910]

Man, your son made my day, he even had your hand movements. Please tell him I said good job. The shoes are hot Brother

[@v_r_]

Thank you, AD! I will let him know.

[@XxLogo]

Going bespoke is definitely an experience I am sure. It is probably the same thing with shirts. Getting OTR shirts are great, but going MTM is a whole other experience. It really opens your eyes on how a shirt can possibly fit you. Having a shirt that fits you perfectly just feels great, and honestly boosts your confidence a lot.

[@v_r_]

100%, Logan! Trying them on for the first time was really an experience. Nothing like it TBH

[@donpearson5071]

Vlademir, your unboxing video here @ Wayman Bespoke is first class! Love the shoes. I am also an avid high end shoe lover owning Gaziano & Girling, John Lobb. I"m so impressed with your Wayman's I can't wait to dive into this brand. Thank you fellow shoe connoisseur. Love your style, man.

[@Ikari777]

Don't get me wrong, the shoes are dope, but that Intro...was just fire!

[@gentlemansgazette]

How do you think they compare to real bespoke?

[@v_r_]

I wish I could answer that but unfortunately, I haven’t had a chance to experience true bespoke yet. I’m sure that nothing probably beats true bespoke but these are a good alternative to get your feet wet outside of RTW.

[@gentlemansgazette]

@@v_r_ got it. I'll have to try Wyman out then. By the way, nice color combination.

[@v_r_]

Appreciate you, Clifton. Thank you!

[@indigdoc]

Got a little feeling of gratitude this morning. Thanks Vladimir. You have proven that an old dog like me, actually can learn a new trick or two. Thanks man. My shoe trees arrived (no unboxing here) a couple of days ago. Bought on Amazon - Kilocircle brand, cedar, Medium (9-10), single tube-6 pack. six pairs. $80. They are seemingly avg quality, Labeled L or R and size. They are not matched wood pairs, some have wood blemishes and 1 pair with slight cracks. You get what you pay for. However, I am happy to have them, as I had 1 pr of plastic previously. The company is responsive as I received them in less than a week or so down here. Int'l shipping is a bear. Surprise: Kilocircle included a small cedar shoe horn, a nice dusting cloth with hand strap, and a double-sided cleaning brush in the mix (One side for applying saddle soap, the other for cleaning off gross dirt and debris). Nice. I am a happy camper. In the installing - I noticed that the quality of my never worn, Cole Haan wingtip bluchers, are a bit suspect. The shoe repair guys (Trenton & Heath) Potterandsons.com really trash several of the "name brand" shoes, including CH, over the last several years.. My education continues. Jim

[@jonathanrobinson9208]

What's up Vlad ! What a fantastic way to get a semi bespoke shoe , I think their measuring process as well as the introduction of ( sample ) shoes eliminate so many issues with buying shoes online. GREAT VIDEO ! And your co - host is super cool 😎 🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪✌❤

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Jonathan? It’s a really great program and Simon is a delight to work with.

[@jakobdieckmann]

Simon caught my attention in the Emerging shoe brands fb forum. Thrilled you did a video on this brand. I think this video was one of your best. Very informative. Hope to do a project with Simon in the future one day (just need to save up a little ☺️). Congrats on hitting 10k! Well deserved!

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Jakob? Simon was great to work with, a true collaborative effort. And thanks for your kind words on the 10k milestone.

[@alexnw6050]

Damn, Ryder had time for you today! Haha. We need more of that little guy. Yo, coming in hot with another good video and interesting brand. They're German, are there any import duties? Appreciate you sacrificing yourself "for the people" and getting these beautiful shoes. Would you ever consider Francis Waplinger in NY for true bespoke?

[@v_r_]

What’s good, Alex? I didn’t pay any import duties and it came via DHL, so I’m not sure. And yes, FW does great work, just outside of my price range for now.

[@alexnw6050]

Burgundy is a special color. I wish more guys would wear them.

[@mbshoedoc]

Amazing shoes! I have seen a few images of their pairs and have been blown away. I have been considering getting a pair from them too and you may have just pushed me over the edge!

So many of us have flat feet, I didn’t realize that until very recently. I highly recommend getting your own last made.

I appreciate, Marc. Thank you!

[@KoolKyurem25]

If I could afford these, I'd be all over them. I've actually had a similar idea for a business. Not sure how they create the custom lasts but I might still try to create my idea for a semi-bespoke show company. Not entirely sure how to do it because I'm a college student, which is why I can't drop $800-1000(probably 1000 because I quite like Jodhpur boots.) on a pair of these. I also love burgundy shoes. It's the color I chose for my Jodhpurs from Beckett Simonon and I think that it's the best color for men who wanna stand out in a classy way. Better than black shoes while working with more colorways. You definitely found a high-quality brand. Plus, seeing how much Simon, the founder, works to deliver a great service certainly inspires me as I want to be a highly involved company owner when I get around to starting the companies I want to start. Your personality showed through this video nicely as well. Love it.

[@v_r_]

Thanks, fam! If that’s your goal, then go for it when it’s time. There’s enough room out there for everybody.

Vladimir your content is absolutely necessary. Why have you stopped putting out content? I don't know where your life is at, but you are adored brother.

[@jeans6780]

Those shoes are really beautiful 🥰 and the price is amazing ! Do you know where is the workshop that makes the shoes ? Is it in Germany under the owner´s supervision ? Or somewhere else is Europe ? (Portugal? Spain ?...) One more thing : i think you can’t really compare this kind of offer with something like Lobb or Green... these brands are, like Kirby Allison says, « heritage » brands. When buying a pair of Green or Lobb, I think you also buy the heritage. But I think you’re right: there is definitely a market for this offer, and I don’t think you can find the same level of offer anywhere else !

[@v_r_]

What’s up, Jean? It’s a very well known workshop in Shanghai, I just realized that I forgot to mention that in the video. And yes, a lot has to be said about how long those brands been around and producing quality shoes at a high level. If the fit is good and one don’t really care about the whole HW vs GYW construction as most English brands are, then there’s probably no reason to venture out.

[@besmoque5974]

Kiddo bringin the fire. Lol. He’s awesome. Great video man.

[@v_r_]

Thanks, my brother! Ryder is no joke.

[@lisan6881]

A few points- great shoe, I ordered a pair from Wayman that should arrive next week, but nonetheless, I am skeptical of Chinese made shoes. I saw close up shots of the Yeossal and think the finishing is suspect, which is a clue to quality. You said the finishing here is great, but didn't show any close ups like you normally do. Of course I trust you. You've been nothing short of honest, but I do want to see for myself. The key factors for a shoe's longevity are leather quality and construction and we don't really know anything about either and only time will tell that story. Maybe you can treat us with a follow-up in 6 months and a year so we can see if they are truly worth the money. Finally, EG has been making quality shoes for a long time and you know what you're getting when you buy them. They'll be around for 20 years looking great. Putting too much focus on welting and waist shape is a mistake when the old adage is tried and true; great GYW beats poor bespoke every day of the week. The comparison with EG is somewhat meaningless as the brands are totally different categories, but it's done a lot on SF, so I see the appeal. I like trying different brands, but EG and g&g and StC are reliable well made shoes and make up the core of my shoe wardrobe! Thanks for the video. It's marvelous.

[@v_r_]

Thanks for your kind words and I agree with your premise. I will definitely make a video a few months down the line on how the shoes are aging. Mine comparing them to EG is more about fit, personally I feel like fit is king above anything else. Companies like EG, StC should get the benefit of the doubt since they’ve earned it but I think it’s also very important for guys-especially those newer to high end shoes-to explore what else can be had at that price point or lower even if those brands may not have the name recognition yet. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on them when you get them in.

[@kbrett2004]

Absolutely beautiful shoes. I bet they look so good outside in the sun. I'm right there with you, burgundy is the correct color, not oxblood.

Lovely shoes, great presentation..(by your son) :-) Allthough, not at all surprised about the craftmanship. German quality is still worldfamous, why not in the shoebusiness? Very cool configurator. I´m the webshopbusiness and that´s some heavy sh... So timid and sweat presentation on their website. Great stuff. Keep safe! Peace! /P

[@jn9065]

Hi Branstein. These shoes are made in China with European branding; not that it means anything in substance. Also, as this is a new brand, we don't know anything about quality or the level of craftsmanship until they experience wear and we can see the leather quality, etc. I wish we could see a close-up of the stitching and how the uppers meet the heal, etc. That's usually a close to quality.

[@Exec-eo1kz]

Your lapel choice is nice. How do you choose from "notch to peak" also what is the best tuxedo style? Can you do a video on tuxedos?

I was thinking about Antonio Meccariello in the future... Might go right away into Wayman!

[@ShoeShineMex]

Meccariello is also a really good brand, I have a pair and I love them, but Meccariello needs to comission influencers to gain more traffic, you can not find anything about AM around KZbin

[@AndreMonz]

@@ShoeShineMex Thanks for your reply! I bet that AM shoes are very good. I was thinking about buying a shoe set that would cost me a little more than 1000€. A bit of a strech and I am at semi-bespoke territory. Still plenty of time to think about it.

Vlad, Those shoes are absolutely beautiful and look very well made. Can you tell me how the leather quality is in comparison to other higher end shoe brands?

[@v_r_]

Thanks, B. Lewis! I’d be able to tell you more once I wear them a few times. But I expect them to behave similar to other crust leather such as needing to be shined more often than regular box calf and probably taking a little more work to get a good mirror shine but we shall see.

[@v_r_]

We’re almost shoes twins, bro 😂😂

[@mikewilton4872]

Any mention of leather quality or where the leather is from? I note the shoes are made in China (nothing wrong in itself with that) but I see no mention of the leather on the website which makes me nervous.

[@waymanbespoke]

Leathers are all locally sourced in Europe. Most leathers are either from Germany, France, Italy, the UK or US. Annonay for box calf, Stead for suede, Ilcea for museum calf, Banoudo for crust calf, etc.

[@waymanbespoke]

If you hover over each leather, the tannery should show up

@@waymanbespoke Ah yes I see, thanks for the fast reply.

[@MrDuojet]

nice looking shoes. will look into them.

[@v_r_]

Highly recommend! I’m glad you like them.

[@rodgerhines4547]

You never disappoint!✌🏾

[@freeNme]

Those look great. I am deciding between Yeossal and Waywan since its hard to find a good fitting size 12. Since you own both and since they are about $300 apart is it worth the extra to have them made to your own measurements .

[@mayaro2]

Those are amazing!! You are truly a Libra man (indecision and picky) lol

[@v_r_]

Haha...I’m the worst, bro 😂😂😂

Let Me Say Those Are Beautiful!!!!!!!!! This Is The Reason We Love Shoes! But To Me, Those Enzo’s In Burgundy! Slim Winners Every Time. Don’t Ever Feel Bad About Getting Stuff For Free Or Discount. You Work Speaks For It Self! Again You Are The Best At Doing It! Stay Fly!

I am looking forward to it Brandon! Always happy to talk shoes!!

[@brandoncolligan1283]

@@waymanbespoke Wayman, where can I view completed models of your product online? And do I just begin the ordering process though your website?

[@waymanbespoke]

Brandon Colligan if you have Instagram or Facebook you can find finished models there @waymanbespoke or on the lookbook page of my website (waymanbespoke.com/lookbook). You can just start the order process on the website or reach out to me personally via email to discuss models, options, etc. to find the best fit for you!

[@brandoncolligan1283]

@@waymanbespoke ok Great.. ill email you today.. Do you need full payment upfront ? And do you have any exotic skins to choose from as well?

[@waymanbespoke]

Brandon Colligan fantastic! Very exciting. Yes, we ask for 100% upfront but you can safely pay via PayPal if that’s an issue for you. We are a small business just starting out, so we do need the capital upfront. Nothing too exotic in our standard offering... currently some pig skin hides that are very special. But we can more or less use whatever you like, as long as we can source it.

[@TheAfricanChronicles]

Question: Do you put sole guards on your shoes? If not , why not?

[@AnonNotAnonymous]

Those look great 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks, Joseph!

LOVE THAT INTRO!!

[@lanadardjowidjojo2910]

How does the trial shoe process work? Are the trial shoes physically sent to you first, tried on, and then feedback sent to Simon for final adjustment?

[@emmouroger7455]

I actually see 3 heel options on the website Pitched, Squared or Cuban. Please which one is yours Pitched or Squared? That would allow me to make a more accurate choice, please.

[@v_r_]

What’s up, bro? There was only 2 options but Simon has since added a third. The pitched heel has a straight inside edge while my Cuban heel also pitched on the inside edge. Hope that helps.

[@emmouroger7455]

@@v_r_ so now there 3 options. The Cuban heel is more inclined than the the pitched. Either the "new cuban heel" is what was called "pitched-cuban", in this case the "new pitched heel" is less inclined than yours. Or the "new pitched heel" is what was called "pitched-cuban", in that case the "new cuban heel" is more inclined than yours. Only Simon would be able answer that question 😅. That will inform my choice. Thanks bro for taking time the answer my comment. Highly appreciated by all of us 🙏🏽

[@waymanbespoke]

@@emmouroger7455 I am here to save you! Haha ... What was called the pitched-cuban heel is now just the pitched heel. The new Cuban heel is a more extreme version of that (inside edge is also angled/ pitched - the difference between the styles becomes most obvious in the drawings on our website), and Vlads shoes were the first where we implemented that new Cuban heel shape. I hope this helps!! My apologies for the confusion... Best, Simon

[@emmouroger7455]

@@waymanbespoke GREAT. Thank you so much, very helpful. I will order soon a pair with "pitched heel", so elegant on Vlad's shoes. Your work looks so great!!!

[@waymanbespoke]

@@emmouroger7455 that sounds fantastic! Feel free to reach out to me via email [e-mail] if you have any further questions. Oh and just to clarify again.. if you want what Vlad is having... pick the “Cuban heel”. Cheers!

[@MauricXe]

Your son destroyed you lol I love the color combinations you're wearing I LOOOVE those shoes. Oxblood/Burgandy is also my fav color for dress shoes. I think the design is perfect...minimal broguing. Great choice!! great price....ill check em out

[@hydroaegis6658]

Dawg-brown should really be a color haha. I would definitely have a pair.
