Marc Joseph New York is a shoe company known for their heritage of handcrafting shoes by skilled artisans in Brazil. Evolved from father and son, Marc and Joseph Antebi, the company was born in 2006.
The company is known for offering footwear that is modern, fashionable, comfortable, luxurious but sold for a great value.
My review is for Marc Joseph New York’s Manhattan Oxford in Black Giraffe Napa made of 100% leather, rubber sole and features durability and flexibility.
Offered in three other different styles, what attracted me to the Black Giraffe Nappa is the use of red around the top of the sole. The design was also different from black leather shoes that I typically wear, but it was different from their other cool offerings of Nappa in Crocodile.
The shoes are quite stylish and are well-built and while stylish, there is one thing that those curious about this shoe should know and that is, it runs a little tight. Even with thin dress socks, it was bit tight. So, I do recommend going a size up or at least a half inch more as they are narrow (My feeling: Thin dress socks as primary socks, go .5 up but if you wear padded socks, go a full size up).
Overall, I do like the style of the shoe, the craftmanship and the shoes padding but these shoes will depend on your socks and whether or not your feet are wide.
