Mens Style Blogs. The Jack Erwin Shoe Review. One of the my favorite parts of this whole men’s style blogging/reporting thing is that I get to see brands grow.
Most of the time I learn of a brand it is soon after its launch, or soon after it starts growing. But every so often, I will start following a brand before it launches. In the case of Jack Erwin, I started following them when they were in the fundraising stage. After hearing their pitch and brand concept I was rather excited. With their affordably priced shoes they presented a simple solution to a persistent problem in #menswear: aesthetically pleasing and well built shoes at said affordable price, $195 including shipping and returns.
Fast forward a few months and Jack Erwin launched (the beginning of October). Although I am reviewing the Joe (cap toe), I have seen all of the other shoes in person and between the 5 models there is pretty much a shoe for any occasion and style. But anyway, back to the shoes. All of their shoes are Blake welted and use full grain leather. Jack Erwin and other budget shoe reviews (sub-$500) There is very little time spent on this forum reviewing lower-cost shoes.
I thought I'd remedy that by sharing my recent experience with Jack Erwin. I just got my first pair of Jack Erwin black brogued plain-toe oxfords. They advertise as a high-quality shoe for under $200, and I have to say that for the price I am extremely pleased. My other "good shoes" are Allen Edmonds, so I am by no means buying the shoes that many in this forum would consider must-haves. So now a quick review: 1. The shoes are well-constructed, with handmade Goodyear welting. 2. The last is a little bit narrow in the toe box. 3. I will add pictures once I pick a good outfit to wear these with (I wanted to wear my brown shoes today). I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone looking for quality on a budget. A New Pair of Affordable, Stylish and Grown-Up Shoes from Jack Erwin. Win it: Jack Erwin’s New Goodyear Welted “Jasper” Oxford. “Original Goodyear Welted… made by hand… Genuine Leather Sole… Made in Spain” Wait, what?
When Jack Erwin kicked onto the scene about a year ago, they quickly became known for making sleek, blake-stitched shoes, at a reasonable sub-$200 price tag, and included free shipping & free returns from the get-go. And they seem to have done mighty fine with that line. But with their new “Sullivan” collection, they included four models of Goodyear Welted shoes to their arsenal.
