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.
The 7991 from Carlos Santos is part of the Patina Program and here we have it in a stunning Dark Green Sintra Patina exclusively for The Noble Shoe.
We discuss briefly the history of the Chukka Boot and go through the details of this model and 401 last. And contrary to popular belief, it is not difficult to match either!
This week I managed to get my hands on a pair of Austerity Brogue Boots by Vahtia Indonesia! This was a factory defect that didn’t clear Quality Control and the owner was kind enough to send me the shoes so I can take a look, inspect them and write my honest opinion about them. Shall we?
There are tons of fascinating leathers out there. From normal cowhide to exotic stingray, there is something that will satisfy even the most demanding shoe fan.
Each has its own unique texture, pattern and characteristics. Others are better for breathability or comfort while some leathers like sharkskin are scuff resistant.
Grab some coffee, because this is a long one! I hope to see you in the comment section!
