The high end Chinese Shoe Thread

[clee1982]

The one advantage AE still has is probably stock model with lots of width option without upcharge

 

[clee1982]

Personally I think Spain and Portugal really have the best quality in that price range, while they struggle to scale some of the higher end stuff like handwelting. Value for money is pretty mind boggling especially for entry level GYW

speaking of around $250, feeling like picking up something as beater/casual shoe in grain

I think Cavour are Spanish made. As you may be aware, I love me some CJs so that's whom I would select my beater from. SoH though is fantastic.

Were I in your position and considering that are both pretty much similar, I'd go for the inexpensive shoe. Although like I said before, I do love me some CJs ?.

I'm having trouble finding comps for Gordon/Jim Jun sizing. I'm pretty solidly 8UKE for EG and GG. He has 'D' as the medium width. Can anyone advise on whether 8UKD would fit?

According to the guy on their instagram, I ought go D width. Any testimonials would bolster my confidence

Have you try to talk to him on IG, he is quite responsive

edit: never mind saw you already asked

On a more casual boot note ... My Flame Pandas are done
The wait (6months) was totally worth it

 

[clee1982]

like the look, but is it just me or that speed hook is kind high to be "that speedy"?

not when u wear them with cuffed denim .. LOL

You mean not spaced out enough? Or just too high up in general?

 

[clee1982]

probably both, always thought the point of speed hook is you can do it quickly, and this just feels both high and spaced tightly, though I can see it if you definitely want it under cuffed denim
