    U didn’t talk abt Ferragamo

  2. LackadaisicalE on April 25, 2020 at 4:01 pm

    No Lloyd’s?

  3. Emmanuel Diaz on April 25, 2020 at 4:03 pm

    Is Rockport a good shoe brand?

  4. Dorottya Medgyes on April 25, 2020 at 4:03 pm

    Does he cover Shoe Passion by any chance?

  5. Diego OG on April 25, 2020 at 4:04 pm

    I have 2 J.M Weston shoes I have owned for 18 years now… Great shoes, my favorites are the Moccasins.

  6. gilbert zamorano on April 25, 2020 at 4:05 pm

    Have you ever tried DIS custom shoes made in Italy? You customize everything from color to soles. I’ve been looking for navy white brogues but can’t seem to find some already made.

  7. viggo kalman on April 25, 2020 at 4:09 pm

    Complains about Fratelli Rossetti for being Blake stitched, next minute praises Ace marks for being Blake stitched. I would choose Rossetti any day of the week 😳

  8. Brown Thought on April 25, 2020 at 4:09 pm

    I have Cole Haan and love them, had a college buddy that worked for them and took advantage of his 50% off employee discount

  9. nuzh 81 on April 25, 2020 at 4:10 pm

    Never heard of Stacey Adams, sounds a lil to square for me fella’s…No disrespect but Stacy Adam’s maybe cheap but have good style and I think can be incorporated in any guys footwear..

  10. Carter Proulx on April 25, 2020 at 4:11 pm

  11. psychedelic toaster on April 25, 2020 at 4:15 pm

    Just delete this video. It’s useless.

  12. Stefan Steinepreis on April 25, 2020 at 4:16 pm

    Hello, what do you think about Scarosso? They sale shoes for 230€ and grant 50€ discount.

  13. Calvin Lê on April 25, 2020 at 4:16 pm

    Hello, my name is Calvin Le, I am from Viet Nam. I often see your chanels and I really like what you said specially shoes. I would like to ask you about Ace Marks’s shoes. Is this the best brand for the medium range shoes 300-500$ ?
    And I’ll be appreciated if you recommend more shoe’s brands with price from 300-500$.
    Thank you very much !

  14. Rophe Heals on April 25, 2020 at 4:18 pm

    The volume is extremely low but thanks for the info

  15. smokesccreen on April 25, 2020 at 4:19 pm

    Could you re-upload this with the volume fixed? I can’t watch and listen, i have to hold it to my ear

  16. Steven Dye on April 25, 2020 at 4:20 pm

    My aplogy for the barrage of questions, yet, you are such a fount of knowledge…..Who are lesser known bespoke makers in Spain and Portugal that you would reccomend? The ones that are true values and not the names.

  17. creative source on April 25, 2020 at 4:20 pm

    Generally American clothing is of inferior quality and design.

  18. Music&Arts Haltern on April 25, 2020 at 4:20 pm

    I have bought four pairs of Crockett & Jones so far and none of them ever disappointed me. One could say, they are an opportunity to trade money for long-lasting happiness.

  19. The Colonel on April 25, 2020 at 4:21 pm

    Please record a voice over or re-edit the volume, this is very difficult to watch and listen to. Please!

  20. Dimi Party on April 25, 2020 at 4:21 pm

    Do it AGAIN!!! WE CAN’T HEAR YOUUUU!!!

  21. Max Montair on April 25, 2020 at 4:21 pm

    Bought a pair of Allen Edmonds a year or two ago. Threw them out. Uncomfortable on the feet. Quality control is awful. Blocky

  22. Steven Dye on April 25, 2020 at 4:22 pm

    Perhaps third time is the charm on asking a question; What are the brands that have similar quality to Edward Green,but, are at a lower price point?

  23. edgar artis on April 25, 2020 at 4:22 pm

    LOL ,please dont waste his time with Stacy Adams jokes

  24. Crazy Crashes on April 25, 2020 at 4:23 pm

    Never hear of Stacy Adams !!!! I though you were joking at first. That company is huge!! It’s a good shoe and they have sub $100 and sub $200 shoes

  25. Christian Santiago on April 25, 2020 at 4:23 pm

    Before this video I almost bought Johnson & Murphy…….thank God I didn’t, thanks Raphael!

  26. Tom Miller on April 25, 2020 at 4:24 pm

    Guy i can barely hear you.

  27. Miguel Munoz on April 25, 2020 at 4:25 pm

    What was the first brand he said

  28. Daniel Claville on April 25, 2020 at 4:26 pm

    Carminas is nice for very fair pricing

  29. Lokman Merican on April 25, 2020 at 4:26 pm

    Oliver Sweeney’s anyone?

  30. hangableauto on April 25, 2020 at 4:27 pm

    Take it from an Englishman, gentlemen, speak up.

  31. Blood Report on April 25, 2020 at 4:29 pm

    turned off after about 20 seconds

  32. 67sound on April 25, 2020 at 4:30 pm

    Is this reportoftheweek’s dad how have you not heard of Stacey Adams?

  33. Steven Dye on April 25, 2020 at 4:30 pm

    Enjoyed this informative video. Which brands of the following will last longest if maintained well ? Give one more than decade of use

    Crockett & Jones
    Carmina
    Alden
    St . Crispins

  34. Nycbestman Nycbestman on April 25, 2020 at 4:31 pm

    too many commercials

  35. Hugo Conti on April 25, 2020 at 4:34 pm

    How do you spell the brand of shoes that you bought when you were a poor civil servant? I may buy a pair myself from Ebay 😉 This is such a great video; I really learned a lot about shoes. Thanks.

  36. Don DoDat on April 25, 2020 at 4:34 pm

    What are you afraid of ?

  37. Joe Hinson on April 25, 2020 at 4:35 pm

    Have you looked at Anthony Veer shoes? Made in India, Goodyear welt, full grain leather. Price seems too good to be true, I’m trying to find out if it is or if it’s legit.

  38. Kaung Sithu sett on April 25, 2020 at 4:35 pm

    Paul Evans? Overpriced. You gotta respect that kind of bravery

  39. igloo2 on April 25, 2020 at 4:36 pm

    I have some expensive shoes from various brands and I think the Gazette is under-rating the quality of luxury brands like Gucci and Hermes. The quality on my Gucci and Hermes shoes seems nicer than my Edward Greens.

  40. Richard Jones on April 25, 2020 at 4:37 pm

    Never liked Allen Edmonds. Not in the same league as Alden.

  41. John Deer on April 25, 2020 at 4:37 pm

    your volume is way to low

  42. Anthony Sera on April 25, 2020 at 4:43 pm

    If I Italy, go Officine Creative. Hand Made. Wonderful Style.

  43. John Walton on April 25, 2020 at 4:49 pm

    What are your thoughts on Cobbler Union?

  44. nmfl100 on April 25, 2020 at 4:50 pm

    More like Pretentious Man’s Gazette.

  45. John Walton on April 25, 2020 at 4:51 pm

    What do you know about Vintage Foundry? My wife got me a pair last week. I like the style, but never heard of them.

  46. wise old owl on April 25, 2020 at 4:53 pm

    I love this guy

  47. quetzal coatl on April 25, 2020 at 4:54 pm

    I m the same way. Not pay premium for a name, instead, same quality lower $$$

  48. David Viner on April 25, 2020 at 4:56 pm

    Stop whispering, I can’t hear you

  49. jcfrmcali on April 25, 2020 at 4:56 pm

    As an American, it’s surprising to hear someone say they haven’t heard of Stacey Adams. They are on the cheap side though.

  50. Logan Stinnett on April 25, 2020 at 5:00 pm

    I was interested to hear your take on Santoni’s. I have a pair of black Santoni oxfords and they are my highest end and most favorite pair of shoes I own, I wear them only occasionally. I am a Project manager however so I wear suit and tie everyday and unfortunately I need to visit construction sites pretty regularly so I mainly wear cheap rockports in which case I dont care if they get damaged. But sometimes my schedule is meetings with stakeholders so i can have entire days where I bounce from conference room to conference room and on those days I break out the santonis. Thanks for the vid!
