OMG it’s Derek Guy.
Derek’s an OG forum junkie turned menswear writer for Put This On, mass publications like The New York Times, and his own always-excellent blog Die Workwear!.
In the last few years, Derek has become, to many, Menswear Guy on Twitter, where his sharp cultural insights on style and complete lack of brevity break every rule of the platform in such a wonderfully potent manner…and sometimes get him screamed at online, believe it or not.
I’ve been a huge fan of Derek’s for years, so getting some time with him to just talk about the shoes and boots we dig (all listed below!), from bespoke to workboots, was—putting it quite lightly—an honor.
Derek and I actually taped two episodes—you’ll hear more about the second soon—but this one I loved so much. This humble Shoecast started back in 2020 with a couple of guys just talking for far too long about the about the shoes and boots they loved. (Love YOU Ticho!) And this episode with Derek is a really splendid return to that.
This is actually our final episode of season 14, which sounds insane to say, although technically we skipped 13 because horrible things would’ve happened. But we’ll be back soon! And will be filling the void with some great subscribers-only bonus episodes. More info on bonus episode access and how you can support the Shoecast can be found right here.
Here’s Derek Guy, on the Shoecast.
