Has anyone heard of this company? Handled any of their shoes?

I like a few of their shoes and they are at a decent price point for me. Looking for opinions on them.

I've never heard of them. For those who don't feel like Googling them, here's a link: https://www.justamenshoe.com/

I hadn't heard of them until now, but it appears they have some good looking options at a fairly low price point.

The web site is very vague. They play up the hand burnishing which could be an indication that they use low-grade leather. They have lots of silly colors which is great if you want something to match each of your pimp suits, but I thought Stacy Adams had that market cornered.

I was thinking the same thing about the hand burnishing comments.

They also have the follwing on there in the "About" section: "Our shoes are made 100% of the finest calf leather from inside out, our insoles are made for comfort, we utilize the softest breathable leather and a special anti-fatigue memory gel insert in the heel for your comfort. The Blake welt stitched construction binds the sole with superior flexibility, durability and comfort of our shoes."

I'm really iffy on the leather they use.

The item I saw that caught my eye was a double monk as a brogued wingtip in either brown leather or suede. It took me a while to figure out what looked so different. I don't remember ever seeing a wingtip monk.

They're not uncommon. I have a Peal-branded C&J wingtip single monk and a regretted Antonio Maurizi wingtip double monk. And there's a made-in-Korea cheapo at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Handmade-Double-Strap-Loafer-Angelcola/dp/B00E0G3ZWK/

FWIW I've just emailed them to ask them where their shoes are made.

Their response:

Thanks for contacting us, our shoes are handmade in Mexico, our factory is Located in the heart of León Guanajuato, you can check out a making of video in our website

Please let me know if you have any other questions

Best,

Would you consider that good or bad?

On balance good. And TBH at a sale price of $100, worth giving it a shot
