Jack Erwin Fitting Room

This review is for the fitting room and not about the shoes themselves.
The fitting room is located in a quiet, small corner in TriBeCa. The fitting is very room is very bright and comforting and all shoes in their lineup are displayed. Inside there were two fitting associates there to help. They were extremely warm and very helpful. They brought out each pair of shoes I requested in the size I wanted. They were very knowledgeable as to the construction of the shoe. As a side note, the shoes seem very well made and were very comfortable and for the quality of materials and process and very fairly priced ($ 195 – 220). I ended up buying two pairs.
A very nice touch was that my girlfriend and I were offered water during the fitting. Additionally, by purchasing at the fitting room, I received free expedited shipping! As a bonus, the sales associate gave me their shoe horn to take home. I had a great experience and would definitely return upon the release of new styles to try on. I have a feeling that Jack Erwin will soon be a household name!

I also have not been to the fitting room, but I purchased my first pair of Jack Erwin shoes (Jaspers) online. Initially, I was very pleased with the shoes — comfortable and stylish. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the quality. After less than 5 months of owning the shoes and rotating wear among my other shoes (I wore the Jack Erwin’s 1 – 2 times a week), they started falling apart. As you can see from the pics, the eyelet’s fell off (and more have fallen off since) and the shoe laces became frayed. I emailed Jack Erwin and they were very responsive. They told me to take my shoes to a cobbler to get it fixed and they would reimburse me. Jack Erwin also said they would send me a new pair of laces. Due to time, I did not get my shoes fixed, but I appreciated the gesture. I love the shoes and I do need more dress shoes, but I’m a bit hesitant to buy another pair of Jack Erwins because I’m afraid of them falling apart. Once I get a better comfort level of their quality, I will definitely purchase another pair of Jack Erwins. I also wish they had a store front in Los Angeles!

Like the previous reviewer I haven’t actually been to the fitting room, but I bought a pair of Carter boots from Jack Erwin a few months ago and have been very pleased with them so far. The quality appears to be quite good and my girlfriend says they look great. I’ll see what their long term longevity is like but so far I’ve seen no reason to believe they won’t hold up well.
One thing that I really love about Jack Erwin is their sensible and consistent pricing. Unlike certain other shoe companies (I’m looking at you Allen Edmonds) JE doesn’t set high retail prices but then offer constant sales, markdowns, etc. They just set a reasonable retail price and then don’t mess around with sales or «special» deals.

I haven’t been into the fitting room itself as of yet (I will make it there soon) but I do own a few pairs of Jacks. Excellent quality shoes at a bargain price. Real quality. These are high end in both the real full grain leather and the style in which they are crafted. I have been complimented by random people on the street for the shoes. You can tell the measure of a man by the shoes he wears. Don’t make a purchase, make an investment.
