"They are VERSITILE"… Shows a loafer. Lol
I really want to hear once JUST ONCE what the heck he said to her when they meet đ
Can I wear this for my school, my uniform is black pants and white polo
Can you have some African American men models so I can see what I look like in the shoes or clothing. Thanks nice videos
I’ll take dress boots without laces, like Chelsea and jodphur boots over oxfords and derbys any day.
You are a ton help – I knew you would have strong opinions! đ
she called us stud muffins :]
What’s up with that Batman intro music lol
Please forgive my ignorance on the subject. In the military we wear bates dress shoes with our service uniform, will these work in a nice suit as well?
Stole from rmrs
what about the shape? How should the pair of shoes be shaped?
These videos seem to always assume that money is not an object, and all we have to do is go out and shop anytime we want. I wish I lived in that world. And I will never own brown shoes. Brown shoes equal brown belt; brown belt equals traumatic childhood memories . (Yes I know, TMI)
Love your video! I’m 50 yrs old now. But I remember when I was in my teens(circa 80’s) my Dad gave me a black wing tip and a brown cap toes( all hand me down Aldens). My friends were all laughing at me every time I wear them with jeans! Look at them now they’re all stuck in those lousy square toed shoes!!! FYI. Those Aldens are still in perfect condition!
You know what’s sad? A lot of companies constantly mislabel derbys as oxfords.
I’m confused about what type of oxford could be worn with jeans + shirt for music playing and with jeans + T-shirt for more casual moments. Are wingtip oxfords more apropriate?
wtf. tommy is well handsome.
I want Tommy. >.<
Saddle shoes master race
so helpful thank you
Ashely thank you for helping me improve my appearance! I greatly enjoy all your videos and respect that you do not promote sponsored items, instead promote your perspective. More gansta Ashley please! lol
Donate them, don’t burn them.
What’re your thoughts on Cole Haan? I never see you mention them in the "budget" lists for dress shoes, but I’ve always found them to be pretty stylish and incredibly comfortable for their price point
How about a wingtip dark brown version?
What happen to cordovan? Nobody wears cordovan no more?!
I have seen square toe shoes that throw oxfords under the bus and also the man makes the shoes. Not everyone can pull of square toe shoes just like the square shape is not applied properly to the shoe design.
Ashley, I like these derby shoes by h&m: https://s13.postimg.org/pvm198uef/IMG_4546.jpg
Would you say they’re okay as a dress shoe.
Respect And Love Leaned A Lot From You Mam
Your intro reminds me Harry Potter. đ
Great job Ashley.
Am I the only one who thinks she has crush on the model?
I disagree with pairing the jeans with black oxfords. Itâs a clash of formalities. If youâre wearing jeans the most formal oxfords you should be wearing are brown full or half brogues. Save the black oxfords for formal wear.
I have to say, I would love to play dress up with Ashley..!
But back to the shoes.. I did a bit of shopping this last Black Friday and Boxing Day and bought four pairs of dress shoes.. I originally bought five pairs, but returned one because I didn’t notice the squared toe on one.. LOVE my Oxfords..!! =) ALL except one pair were 50% off..!! I was almost in tears putting items on my wish list, waiting for the next sales..Â
I swear, I saw about 30 ties I wanted.. haha..
Don’t even start on shirts or suits.. But now I’m rambling.. Â
Waiting patiently for Black Friday and Boxing Day again..!!
Love your videos, Ashley..!!
Captoe is less formal than plain toe. Edward Green=John Lobb>Crockett Jones>Church>Cheaney. AE overpriced and way down on quality compared to the Northamptonshire shoemakers.
Great clip and subject. I personally prefer black ‘no cap toe’ Oxfords as I like the ‘clean lines’, plus I like the ‘pointed’ closed lace holes at the bottom. I’d just have one pair as described as I’d only use them when wearing a Suit and Tie. I don’t actually own any Oxfords yet but I do have a pair of black RM Williams ‘Tambo’ (extra wide ‘Craftsman’) Chelsea style dress boots that can be worn with either a Suit and Tie or various Business Casual/Smart Casual (jeans) combinations. I too match the leather belt colour with leather shoes colour; kind regards..
if we will not listen to you then whom we will
Hi Ashley, I’m looking to update my shoes and get the Oxfords you recommend as well as the dress boot. My question is; I fell in love with John Lobb shoes however those are way out of my price range. I’m considering going Crockett & Jones for all three but was wondering your opinion. Should I go with a $200 Oxford and save the money, and use it else where, or just go for this Crockett pair. The shoes would be worn 3-4 times a week for work for a business or business casual look. I’m not one for brand names but man those John Lobbs were awesome when I tried them on. I’m thinking of just treating myself and just going with a more inexpensive brand. Thanks for the input.
Legal!
No cap toe is more formal. If you give it a high shine, it can pass for black tie and maybe even white tie events.
Hi! I’ve enjoyed the videos. Have you ever reviewed To Boot New York shoes?
CAN I WEAR A DRESS SHOE WITH TROUSER AND SHIRT WITHOUT A SUIT
Hey, Ashley would you say Johnson and Murphy is a good brand for a decent pair of oxfords? I’m trying to decide between those or paying the extra for Allen Edmonds.
Thanks!
luv u Ashley!
Black captoe is overrated, nowadays fashion become more casual. Black doesn’t have patina and looks cheap, instead invest more in dark brown or burgundy, and buy cheap black cap toe and shine them well as you wear them in 0.001% of your life (job interview, funeral)
Tuxedoes: Always plain toe, never cap toe
brb, off to burn my square toed shoes…
what are your thoughts on black Oxford’s with tan leather sole that can be seen from the side
It was due to this video that I purchased a pair of Allen Edmonds Carlyle. I just got them today. I have MS and have very little money. But for once in my life time, I wanted something nice, handmade tailored shoes. Well… I have never been more disappointed in my life. The first thing I said was–is this a joke? They look like someone made them and forgot to put their glasses on.
I will start with the right shoe: Part of the stitching on the bottom of the sole is outside of the grove. That means I would be walking on the stitching. On the stitching at the bottom tip, the grove is twice as deep as the rest of the grove. Many places on the siding of the sole isn’t smooth. At the back, it looks and feels like it was sanded and has a bit of a tip on it. It looks like no one paid attention to it at all. Under outer top of the soul where the shoe tucks in, the stitching seems deep inside. Due to this, there are a few places on the bottom of the shoe (where it meets the sole) that the sowing needle stabbed the leather shoe. I don’t think its waterproof with the holes in the leather.
The left shoe is not as bad. The bottom of the sole is fine. The sides of the sole is uneven and at one point it was sanded much deeper and it looks like they panicked and they came out too far making it look very odd. This is so noticeable that I’d be embarrassed if someone looked at them. On the front of the top of the sole, the stitching come around right at the edge.
There are marks on both shoes and I am not sure if they can be buffed out, despite spending over $150.00 on polish and special brushes.
Despite using the same machine to size my shoe size and using the online sheets to size my feet, the shoes seem to be a bit tight. I put them on and walked around my living room for a minute unlaced hoping they would loosen a little. All it did was put a lot of creases in them which I was very surprised because I didn’t do much walking.
I am more the type of guy who gets depressed over it and throw them away just to get it out of my mind and get rid of the stress asap because stress causes real problems with MS. I am so sad and disappointed. I ordered the Nordstrom in USA to Canada just to save a few bucks. Instead of moving forward and trying to save money for a good outfit so I can feel good wearing something nice, I have gone backwards and totally wasted my money. Now it all seems hopeless. Shame of Allen Edwards making such terrible quality shoe and making false claims about there workmanship and inspecting each shoe. The shoes don’t even meet ‘second factory shoes’. And shame on Nordstrom for selling such terrible quality shoes. And shame you two for have such high reviews on Allen Edwards shoes. I can’t trust you or anyone anymore.
I am heartbroken and very disappointing with you all. đ
Oxford is a brand, so what is she talking about?
Great video as usual Ashley! What shoes do you recommend for a black tie tuxedo and white tie tuxedo?
Very informative video. Thanks!
