Hi guys, just wonder if anyone actually bought and tried shoes from Zeve, what is your review and do you recommend it?
I'm currently looking for a formal shoes (prefer Oxford/Brogue) and I don't know what brand I should get.
Budget wise, I don't really have one, but Zeve pricetag is way cheaper than expected (if what they wrote in their site were real).

I do realize that, cheap shoes won't last long, this is why I willing to spend more on shoes (and most of my other stuffs).

They are fantastic on paper. Corrected grain leather, Blake-Rapid construction, great price point.

I have been wanting to get a pair from them for years now, still haven't found the time to drop by their shop. Dress shoes are one thing I refuse to buy online unless I'm familiar with the last.

And in this case, I also want to see what I'm getting first to make sure there are not too many flaws. I can spot flaws on most all of their website photos. Flaws are not too uncommon at this price point, but I assume that they would use some of their best looking (least flawed) shoes for their website...food for thought.

From my queries with them a few years ago, i find them stretching the truth when it comes to describing their shoes. Their leather soles is actually rubber that looks like leather. ‘Handmade’ and ‘patina by hand’ is same as how bata shoes are handmade

Lol. I'm not expecting miracles from a shoe that only costs 1/3 of my cheapest dress shoes.

Bought one 1.5 years ago. last less than one year for me. in the end i decided to pay three times higher the price to get something worth keeping for long.
