I have been on a long-term business trip recently, so I chose shoes that are not afraid of continuous rain. In the last two weeks, I have been wearing these RayKowk shoes.
I am very satisfied.
I met some shoe factory owners, when they saw this pair of shoes, they all said they were good, but after hearing the price, they all shook heads, which means they think the price is unbelievable.
The brand founder, Ray Kowk has a mantra, “men are configuration maniac”.
Whether the shoes are made well or not is left to argument, however, the configuration and value is undefeatable. Can good materials be wrong?
Where is the cost performance of this pair?
Leather
Boxcalf from German tannery Weinheimer, From 1,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan, even bespoke shoemakers all use it, But what level of the leather, you have to judge after wearing.
This leather performance is pretty good even by the standard of John Lobb, right?
Vibram Outsole
Vibram soles have gained great momentum in formal shoes in recent two years. Apart from high brand value and high price, they have two points of practical value to consumers, one is good elasticity, that is, comfortable feet, and the other is better wear resistance and slip resistance than Dainite.
Stacked Leather Heel
This detail can be said to be a conscience. Those two floors in the middle, see? This is called Heel Lift, and the rough texture is leather. At this price, even 2000 shoes, this is a lot of wood. Mattina is made of wood. I mention Mattina every time because in my heart, it is the benchmark of domestic Volkswagen shoes.
Ignorant person doesn’t care at all, but it is the material and the configuration. RayKowk put it silently.
Last
The shape of the last is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that it is beautiful. To put it bluntly, whether there is any difference with John Lobb’s 7000 last, and how much difference, we may have to compare it directly. The disadvantage is the European last shape, which fits my feet very well, but I believe it will be narrow for many people.
Summary
If you are a person who can afford Edward Green, I wouldn’t recommend this series, because the density along the seam is not high enough and the stitching on the upper is not exquisite enough. But if you care about the price/performance ratio, I don’t know if there is anything on the market that can be played better than this.
I just said that the 4 models in this UK collection is invincible, and I didn’t recommend other models because I have no experience.
