Where are people having their AM's resoled in the US ? I am aware of Kirby Alison and Bedos leather works.

How do you compare AM with G&G in term son comfort, quality, and aesthetics?

interesting to know as well, though I have toetap and rubber install at AM, so not expecting needing resole any time soon, maybe the only thing is I would need the heel to be refurbished... (right now thinking of Nelson or leather spa, NYC wise)

for me, infinitely better in AM vs. GG, but that's probably because I have high ish instep and also need more room in toebox (for example I can only wear MH71 in GG, not DG70, not TG73 in 9E UK, I can't up size, too long, up width is stupid expensive in GG so never bothered)

Hanger Proj, Bedo's or Potters & Sons seem like great options. Locally, we have Rago Bros in NJ that many people swear by as well.

... But what are you guys thoughts on Sons of Henrey and Cavour house brand shoes? I saw a nice pair of Cavour suede chukkas for USD $100

Do not know much about Cavour's shoes nor who makes them, but I would guess Spanish. Probably within the same region of anyone who utilizes Spanish factory shoes. As @clee1982 mentioned, for the price it is easy to try them out.

As for SoH, I consider them the best value of any shoe sub $500. The design of the shoes, leather quality, company's transparency, construction (GYW), and customer service. Their George SpTD (which I own) is phenomenal. To me, it is the best SpTD in their market segment.

Do you mean AM Argetum, Argentum HW, or Aurum?

 

[clee1982]

both AW and HW

Despite having no experience with SoH, I recommended my older brother to purchase their suede split toe derby during their Black Friday sales. My brother although having no experience with high quality shoes, took my recommendation and placed the order and was quite excited to finally own a "quality shoe" based on my advice. A few days later SoH dropped him an email saying that they got their inventory numbers wrong and had to cancel his order as they had no more shoes in his size. Due to the cancellation and the credit card refund/charges, my brother was down by about USD $15 to $20. A lot of inconvenience + loss of $ did not leave a good first impression for him. I doubt he would take anymore recommendations from me in the future...

That is extremely disappointing and surprising. More so, when I have dealt with Tom (Brone) via email, and on SF with positive results. Normally others who have also interacted with him had also experienced responsive and courteous service.

Considering the aggravation and end result, I can't blame you for taking your business elsewhere like your brother is going to do.

I would think it only fair and to encourage another transaction for SoH to offer your brother a credit to be used towards his next purchase. Provided of course, your brother would be willing to offer them a second chance at redemption.

I would never have recommended to someone having zero experience with quality shoes to buy online, much less a small company still in the startup throes. The mixup you described isn't something unusual for a small online startup.

I also have a high instep. How do you size your AMs compared to other makers like EB or St C?

Thinking of buying this pair.

Centurion Soft square ,color Aglianico ( deep burgundy) made with Vintage Annonay baby box calf – Meccariello Shoes

I have a modest collection but nothing that has a brown+red tone.
Is this versatile enough for suits & working NYC but casual enough for sport coats and odd trousers?
