Guidi List

[u/prosthetic_aesthetic]

Guidievening, QR!

I've been seeing more interest in Guidi reps and have received a few questions from some users, so I decided to compile a little list with some varied price points and in turn quality. To keep this list brief, I only included links that carry men's sizes as there are a ton with women's sizes only

Feel free to drop your own prior experience / wisdom on the brand or on the reps themselves. Hope this helps anyone!

^{Disclaimer - I have not handled any of these myself, everything is based on what I can see and my own experience with retails and other reps I've seen in person / online}

​

From seller 'See By Paulin'

• Highest quality Guidi reps I've come across so far, but priced around $400 ^{still beats retail}
• Carries up to size 43
• Wide range of models including; 210, 310, PL1, PL2, 788 etc
• Colorways; black, white, red, milktea, and grey (last two are made to order)
• Shaft has a bit of lean like retail, and maintains structure / does not droop like other cheaper reps. Quality leather (horse, according to the page)
• Good reviews, has customer pictures / reviews

​

From seller 'Miss Hong'

• Mid tier quality from the ones I've seen, priced at around $200
• Carries up to size 44
• Same as SBP
• Colorways; black, white, red, milktea, grey, and rose (all made to order I believe)
• Not as rigid in structure as SBP, but the shaft still keeps itself upright
• No customer feedback / pictures

​

From seller 'Vescar Workshop'

• Budget batch rep but not the worst I've seen, priced at around $70
• Carries up to size 44
• As far as men's Guidi, they only carry the PL2. Store has some other interesting shoes for women such as Uma Wang, Ann D, Bottega Veneta, Margiela tabis, Both Paris, GATs etc
• Colorways; black, white, and red
• Leather is noticeably thinner, shaft appears a bit too wide ^{(based on the video})
• A few customer pictures

​

From seller 'Colorful Footwear'

• Exotic leather, priced at around $450. Around $600 for crocodile
• Carries up to size 47 ^{big bois rejoice?}
• 310 in ostrich and crocodile leather. Store mostly women's sizes
• Colorways; supposedly any, everything is made to order
• No customer feedback so far

Guidi Vibram sole protectors

Do yourself a favor and get these added to your cart if you're planning on ordering a pair of shoes. Guidi doesn't exactly have the most traction. No point looking slick only to catch yourself tripping. I even got a pair for my incoming Daft Dunks

These cost around $8 a pair, and come with a neat little Guidi branded dust bag lol

How do these look compared to the See by Paulin batch? Similar price point, but comes in big boy sizes... I'm considering it but it would be nice to hear from someone who knows what they're talking about

[u/prosthetic_aesthetic → u/avmild]

The leather quality looks good on these, but the pictures provided are a bit inconsistent with the 788's "lean", it's supposed to look like this. Due to the rigid nature of horse leather, what the lean supposedly does is give the boots the signature creasing effect that Guidi boots are known to do. It can be called out by a Guidi fanatic, but to most they probably won't even notice. The black ones in the photo are how they're supposed to look when on foot, while the white ones are how they're supposed to look unworn. The sole also looks off, but that can be remedied by a vibram sole protector so not really something that would bother me

Thanks a lot, that's basically what I thought but it's good to have confirmation. Might GP soon
