Seriously contemplating the Arthur Chelsea boots in chocolate suede. I’m finding Chelseas immensely useful, and the one pair I have with a grippy sole - shearling-lined, and not from TLB - are getting some heavy use at the moment. Any thoughts in due course from purchasers, happy or otherwise (but I hope happy!), would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everybody,

some positive review from me:

At home I am trying the Artista Oxford 107 in Dark Brown. I was curious if the leather is thinner, as it visually first looked, than the leather of my more expensive bench-grade shoes from Northhampton. So I took a thickness measure and measured it.

The thickness is the same of 1.8-2.00mm on the side of the ancle, beneath the rim of the shoe. At the rim, because the English shoe includes side stiffners, and the Spanish shoe does not, the difference is 2.5mm to 2.2mm. Hence the leathers appear to be the same inner lining vegano calf with 0.8-1.0mm (2-3 oz. leather) and the upper leather also the same 1.0-1.2mm box calf or vegano calf (3-4 oz. leather). All leather are full-grain calf leathers.

hence the measureable differences in quality are just not there, despite a price difference of 445€ to 630€.

Also the stich density in the upper are the same, as I could count it, and the stich densities on the welt are 8 per inch (2.5cm) for TLB Mallorca and 9 per inch for the English shoe.

@ TLB Mallorca: Honestly, I am impressed by this measureable quality. The asthetics of the close cut narrow heal block, bevelled waiste and closed-chanel stiching are hand-grade quality elements. Thanks also for your great service.

The question is then, what are obvious or visual differences in the qualities of the upper leathers? I could not see anything, to be honest, between these two shoes from reputable brands.

If the shoe would only fit better at the outside of the ancle due to overpronation.

Best regards

Pascal

Dear Pascal,

Thank you very much for your kind review! This makes us really happy.

Our Artista 107 model is one of our most loved ones by our community, and in a way that makes us have a special affection for it.

As you said, the quality of our finishes and in general the processes we carry out, make each product a unique design. The price is where the difference is more than considerable of course, if we compare ourselves with other similar brands and even many with decades and tradition behind them.

We trust that you will be the ones to shape our reputation through the use of our shoes in your daily life.

We remain at your disposal if you have any questions.

Best regards.

It would be difficult for me to put into text just how profound of a company TLB Mallorca is and just how compelling of a product it makes. It is nothing short of unbelievable what a company less than 10 years old has managed to squeeze out of $400.

That is why I created a one-hour and seven-minute video diving into literally every detail you could possibly want to know about their product before (or after) purchasing them - Packaging, Construction, Materials, Design, Comparing them to Allen Edmonds, and more.

TLB Mallorca offers what is - in my humble opinion - the best value in the world for Mid-Tier Goodyear Welted Stitched Leather Footwear.

(No affiliation)



I sincerely hope this can be of value to you.

Dear Chris,

This is an amazing job my friend, and we are really grateful for that. We also appreciate your kind words, as we work hard to achieve that point.

Also asking for some sizing advice in the Picasso last. Normally wear UK9 in Carmina Uetam and Xim lasts, fit is spot on. Foot length 27cm, forefoot width 10cm and heel width 7cm. Thanks.

Not sure whether this helps as I don’t know the Uetam and Xim lasts, but I wear UK10.5 in both Carmina Rain and TLB Picasso. If anything, the Picasso is just a bit more generous across the vamp, but they’re close. Comfortable toes and no heel slip.
