They are offering a 70 Euro discount (about $80-85 USD) on their patina shoes for Black Friday 2023.
Good construction, nice patinas and overall great shoes for this price category.
4. Cobbler Union | Up To 50%
There’s always some kind of deal going on with Cobbler Union.
For Black Friday there’s a plethora of shoes often in the 40-50% Discount Category.
In that price range they are worth considering.
5. Myrqvist | Up To 50%
A very surprising fact for me was that Swedish brand Myrqvist actually had sales.
Granted, the “up to 50%” can mean a lot but there are a few shoes with that discount in there.
Made in Portugal, they are pretty ok at least if you are in Europe.
6. Allen EDMonds | Permanently Discounted
Singles day, Veterans day, Liberation day, Cat day, Black Friday, any day is a sale for Allen Edmonds.
Thank the lord because at full MSRP you should rather burn or donate your money.
Despite the criticism, for those of you in the USA they are very accessible, decent entry level shoes (for the discounted price) with a plethora of styles and tons of widths.
You can get good starting shoes for just $199 which is not bad at all.
Keep An Eye On
Some brands might release deals on actual Black Friday so be aware.
Worth looking at:
Sons of Henrey
J.Fitzpatrick
Carmina
TLB Mallorca/Skolyx
Velasca
Bonus Trolling: Morjas The Disruptor
Going against the flow, Morjas raised prices and in fact released their Alpine Boot for a massive 400ish Euros.
Their base shoes have gone up recently in pricing up to 20% (a result of their overaggressive marketing for sure).
I would rather go for a prostate exam than buy or recommend Morjas.

A few weeks ago I had the chance to inspect closely the Carlos Santos Handcrafted. Their most Premium, Luxury High End Line that Hugo Jacomet (Parisian Gentleman) once said is as good as Crockett & Jones Handgrade. To be fair, I agree!

Not surprisingly August is behind us while we enter Autumn! This latest edition of the “Welted Shoe News” is very quiet, as generally August is the most quiet month for the shoe industry. It is also a great time for them to close the factories, take a breather and some vacations and recharge their batteries for the rest of 2020.
In this article you will find more about my recent interview Podcast with Shoegazing, News about their Trunk Show moved to 2021, the Isetan Expo and various little news and sales from different brands.
It’s been a while since we had an interview on the blog. It’s not exactly the easiest with Covid though isn’t it? Luckily I had heard of Aji from Vahtia Shoes before and I managed to reach out to him on Instagram and set up today’s interview. Vahtia is a newer shoemaking brand out of Indonesia making welted men’s dress shoes and boots. Please spend some time to familiarize yourselves with a nice value and upcoming brand! I hope you enjoy it!
One more year is over. 2019 was a very challenging year for many of us. You and me. Sometimes it is nice to take a break, sit back and reflect about what happened, if you reached your goals, what went wrong, what went right and decide what goals you want to pursue next year.
