If you follow Men’s Style Pro on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook, you have seen the many hints of working with the online custom shoe maker Mantorii.

Men’s Style Pro Opinion Of Mantorii Custom Footwear
Speaking with the least amount of bias, Mantorii really impressed me with two things. The high level of customer service is almost unmatched. If ever you need to contact them via email or a social media network, someone is always available to answer your request. In terms of their shoes, the quality really knocksit out of the park. Over the past 3 months, Mantorii has expanded their leather selection and shoe styles rapidly and without skipping a beat.
Shoe Review
The particular pair that I have styled in the 3 looks below are custom, single monkstrap and nubuck leather. Nubuck itself is similar to suede, however; nubuck is created by sanding leather to lift the nap texture out. One of the great features about nubuck shoes is that napped texture, it makes pairing them with casual pieces like jeans extremely easy. Since a part of the Mantorii process is providing your custom foot measurements plus a scan outline of your feet (with socks on), the outcome is a fit that is spot on. In the fields of quality (material & construction), fit and wearability these shoes meet A standards.
Style Tips
Wear the hell out of these shoes! This style of shoe is perfect for the casual guy that likes to dress up occasionally and is still refined enough for any suit in your wardrobe. These shoes are appropriate for all seasons, but be sure to spray them with a suede/nubuck protector to defend against dirt and water. You will see that the color pairs well with everything from light trousers to dark denim.There are unlimited styling options with these shoes.
