Oct Tenth is so well known both domestically and globally. Cooperating with Sons of Henrey, relying on super high cost performance, it has won a large number of fans. Oct Tenth is the best brand in the Chinese shoe industry, with superb specification and amazing price.
Oct Tenth mainly offers Made to Order service, that is, receiving orders and starting production. There are not many stocks on the market.
This model is named after a reader Resmon Liu, and actually based on Edward Green Clapham. It is a model that Resmon asked Oct Tench to replicate, and at the same time loves to show.
Let’s take a look at this pair of Resmon.
Unboxing
The last time I saw this shoe box, it was more than 3 years ago, and it has been finalized for a long time, which is good for brand building.
Drawer-style shoe box filled with bubbles, the shoes will not shake in the shoe box, and the inside of the shoe box does not look cluttered, which is good.
The bag has a high-quality texture, and the size and thickness also provide complete functionality. Thin shoe bags always make people feel that they can’t protect their shoes well.
Last
Oct Tenth has 4 core lasts, the names are Shang, Hai, Huang and Pu. Resmon sits on Pu last which is a small round toe. This angle looks more like Edward Green 82 last, but it is sharper.
The reason, which I explained in the previous article, is that the widest part of the outside is too prominent, and the curve from the toe the widest part is not smooth enough.
And for me, the widest place of the Chinese last is not the widest place of my feet at all, so it makes me feel big and inappropriate.
Profile view, the instep is high and the heel wraps well curved.
Pattern
Although the suede leather can rarely be stunning at a glance, it will greatly reduce the eye-catching degree of the shoe, but this pair is still very beautiful by the first sight.
Suede brings a big problem, that is, the superb stitching pattern is not so easy to see. Mimicking Edward Green Pie Crust, this apron actually has a lot of small protrusions, which are not obvious now, let’s look at the performance on the smooth leather.
Isn’t it more obvious?
And the even rarer reverse stitched split toe cannot even to be found out without my pointing it out.
Construction
Oct Tenth’s welt is worth a closer look.
First, the fudge width is enough and covers the whole welt. I remember saying that one of the big problems Mattina and Meermin had on welt is the fudge is thin and only on the outside of the stitches, between stitches and upper leather, there is no fudge, so they looked uneven and dirty.
On the other hand, stitch density is very high, and at a rough look, you probably feel that the stitches match the teeth one by one. In fact, the outsole of Oct Tenth is machine-sewn, and the use of machine sewing can achieve tooth pressing effect, then it is likely to replace hand sewing (aesthetically). But look closely, the density of stitch is higher than fudge, so this matching degree can also be adjusted.
In addition, since stitch density and fudge density are both very high, the edge of welt should be properly grinded a little more, which is more exquisite.
Outsole
Vibram studded rubber sole, officially the Eton series. Vibram entered the dress shoes market relatively late, and when it came to studded rubber sole, it was dominated by Dainite. Because it is a British brand and closely related to the British shoe factory. Dainite has been criticized for being slippery, and now Vibram has stolen many markets.
There’s a misconception. Which one is more expensive, leather or rubber sole? The answer is that if it is not the leather sole of oak vegetable tanning, leather sole is cheaper than rubber sole.
Leather
Charles F. Stead Janus is the exclusively highest level suede until Zonta’s Castorio came out. It is characterized by short fluff and satin luster.
Summary
We have seen the Rolls Royce of Beaters (Edward Green Dover), now we have the Rolls Royce of Commuters, Resmon.
