Kleman
I saw them in a store that was recommended to me and I generally like the way they look. Does anyone here have expirience with this brand?

i have the padrors and they’re a solid shoe
i didn’t want to pay up for paraboots
quality feels fine but nothing special
maybe an off comparison but quality wise they’re on the same level as docs
I have had my issues with docs cracking but that is just what it is.
I kinda liked some of their derbies as well and paraboot derbies are over 400 Euro
yeah you get what you pay for, but they're not bad shoes at all especially if you don't want to shell out 400+ for paraboots
i don't wear mine often anyway so they've held up really well
to be fair I'm pretty dissapointed in my docs because they are kinda flacking which I feel like shouldn't happen after half a year
i have this and like them
they're OK for the price. iirc i bugged Wuz about sizing before buying. loafers fit -0.5 to brannock. no idea about their normal tyrolean shoes
I think Pellet is another brand that may be simmilar
yeh i have the pellet macho. haven't broken them in yet cause summer and cba
they were p cheap all considering
Let me know what you think:) When you do. Some of their other models also looked nice although I need to check again if they even carry my size
Just checked my orders. I originally went TTS but then returned/exchanged to +0.5 on my brannock for a better fit. Flex point was better lined up that way. I have yet to break them in properly but I've walked around locally to the shops and back with them
Leather is a bit tough/dry. Prob will slap some leather conditioner on the back stay come fall/autumn.
I've some kleman chunky loafers I like a lot. I don't see the exact model on their site but the leather is fine quality and the silhouette is solid. The sole is a little squeaky tho.
I also have the kleman padrors. I think the comparison to docs quality is apt, though I will say that the break in period was very mild (unlike docs). I think the sizing was TTS brannock for me, but my feet are pretty average (not wide or narrow)
