Antonio Meccariello Shoes

[Phoenician]

I received one of those advertisement emails from the retailer Kirby Allison. I do not I believe I had purchased anything from them in like yearsssss. Saying that, I still like to receive emails so I am up to date with shoe care and clothing care accessories.

Is it me or are the items sold by him expensive?

I say that because A Fine Pair of Shoes (whom I use for my shoe care needs) has items for half the cost. Now some may say that you pay extra for shipping from another country, but with the additional cost of shipment it would still be more inexpensive. When you factor in purchasing multiple items, that subtle price difference adds up.

just ordered a box full of shoe care crap from Herring in the UK. Most of it was Saphir and they ship Saphir for free internationally. One hell of a deal when you compare it to what it would cost in the US

Never purchased AM shoes before, but love the looks of these they did for Yeossal. Looks like about $800 US. Any input if these are ‘worth’ it in comparison to other AM shoes of this type? Trying to gauge if Yeossal has put a hype surcharge on these or is this in the ballpark of what they should be
thanks

for any input

I love Herring. I get my slippers from them!

I know @LThomsen was looking for brushes. Good opportunity to grab a few whilst Saphir stuff ships free.

Incidentally, if you do decide to take the plunge, which you should, make sure you get some sizing advice the fellas on the thread. Shipping fees back their way is not for the faint of heart.

Appreciate the advice! I looked again and that boot is sold out in all sizes. It wasn’t showing sold in my size but it appears it may be after all. I’ll take a look at the other styles they make

Herring has their branded brushes for like 5 bucks right now. Ordered three and they’re pretty decent

Mr. I only own bespoke AM

Speaking of which, I wonder when my pair is supposed to be done. I think it's been like 15 or 16 months ?.

Probably worth follow up with him

Thank you very much

Likewise, mine has taken more than 18 months I believe, most due to the fitting of 2 pairs of test shoes...

I think Yeossal has stopped/ will stop carrying AM shoes after the current stock is sold out. FYI they should be Argentum welted not hand-welted despite they come with wood box and lasted trees.

Just saw some interesting comparison videos on YouTube today. Author of the videos seemed to have purchased his AM from Yeossal as well (and also mistakenly thought they were hand-welted).

Yes, I'll probably touch base with him in the beginning of next week. I figured his hesitation in quoting me 10 to 12 months would have been closer to 15 to 18 months. Additionally due to the difficulty of the shoes, I expect them to be completed when they are completed.
If it were my first pair, I would have been going nuts. Considering this is pair 8 or 9, I am like mehh.

For all in the know, there is also the Italian factor. Whatever they quote you in terms of completion time, you take that number and multiply that number by 1.5.
