  I think in OPs last post we worked out that these are NOT Blake stitched. We asked OP to confirm and he never bothered.

    Most of the shoes are Blake Stitched. Its also mentioned in the product description on website.

      thank you OP for taking time off your busy schedule, and finally replying after many months
      after having ignored us here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/388829 in July
      and here https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/382556 back in June.

      I repeat these are NOT blake stitched despite the mentions on the website
      In a blake stitched shoe, you see clear evidence of stitching on the sole of the shoe

      example of blake stitched shoes https://www.aquila.com.au/journal/blake-stiched-sole
      example of your "blake stitched shoe" https://www.aristoties.com.au/collections/shoes2/products/mi…

      the difference is also evident in the quality of your soles, albeit rubber

      If you mean the man operating the machine was Blake, then yes they would be a shoe constructed by Blake

      Your website also mentions handcrafted shoes- forgets to mention that they were handcrafted by an elf called Blake
      Also what do you mean exactly by premium leather? Are these genuine leather or bonded leather?

      at an original price of $100 these shoes are more likely they are mass produced Asian cheapies (India/China etc), with decorative stitching on the upper part of the sole, no evidence of stitching on the undersurface of the sole, ie NOT Blake stitched, that you are trying to pass off as Premium Hand Crafted Blake Stitched shoes and now selling for <$63

      The only way that is possible to sell premium leather handcrafted Blake stitched shoes for under $63 is if elves visit you factory at night and work for free.

      You can fool some people all the time, all the people some time, but not all the people all the time
      Won't hold my breath expecting a response but will be ecstatic to be proven wrong :)

        Well clearly you seemed to have no clue. The shoe which you have pointed out has stitches if you look clearly https://www.aristoties.com.au/collections/shoes2/products/mi…

        @AristoTIES:

        Thank you once again for your reply OP, albeit not so polite.
        I will repeat what I have said earlier with some technical terms, the welt of the shoe has decorative stitching, the outsole has none.

        Just so that there is no confusion I have posted a link which shows what a welt is and what the outsole is

      Expected Behaviour

      It is recommended that reps respond to comments and reasonable enquiries about their deal, product or service. To assist with this, reps are automatically subscribed their deal posts

      If I am going to spend my money on these hand crafted leather shoes, I think it is reasonable to know the country where they are made in, and the type of cow leather used.

      These shoes look pretty narrow and it is not unreasonable for me to ask for the width.

      Also I would like to know what material the insole is made up of please.

        Anyone that posts on OzBargain as a rep, is considered to be representing their company, and must follow those guidelines in addition to conducting themselves professionally at all times.

        I guess that is too much to ask for :) Is this a reflection of your after sales service? :)

    Very bad shoes, returning mine

    please let us know why?

    also is there any discernible stitching on the sole?

      super bargain on 17/09/2018 - 18:27

      Yes the stitching. Sole is so hard and makes an awkward sound when u walk
