Modern Vice

I highly recommend Modern Vice for any private label design that you would need. I have been working with Jordan for over a year now and he has been nothing but extremely helpful and knowledge able! I can to Jordan with just an idea for an eco-friendly shoe and he delivered to say the least. We spoke at least 2 times a week and he answered every single question I had. Me and Jordan now have a fantastic friendship and business relationship and I’m really looking forward to building my brand and business with him! See the photos below for the gorgeous work he has done! Check out Boatman Shoes we have a lot of awesome things coming!

I cannot rave enough about Modern Vice! First of all I have to come to their defense because there are some people that don't seem to understand what the made to order concept is. Yes, if you order a pair of Modern Vice shoes it will take a while to receive them but heres why: THEY ARE HAND CRAFTED, MANUFACTURED IN NYC, HIGH END DESIGNER, ARTISAN SHOES! They only produce specialty items ONCE AN ORDER IS PLACED. They are not a mass produced fast-fashion-sweat-shop factory. Their mission is to create beautiful-fun shoe art using long standing methods. They strive to put in all their passion and skills to make their customers happy. The very people who make these wonderful pieces are skilled masters of their craft who only want to use top quality materials. They curate and only work with the finest leathers and fabrics to make a statement shoe that will stand the test of time. So yes, if you order from Modern Vice please be patient. Their shoes are worth the wait and worth the price. So back to my personal review of my experience with Modern Vice. I knew what I was getting into wanting my dream pair of shoes from them. I appreciate the time, care and passion their team put into my pair of David Bowie Bolt boots! These boots were ordered earlier this year and as we all know how 2020 went....well of corse there were going to be delays. But we kept up communication via emails, Modern Vice took the time to walk me every step of the way as they created my boots. They did everything they could to catch up with all their orders since the pandemic forced them to shut down for a long time. Once their design studio was opened they did their best to make sure I got my boots. I moved and they updated my order to deliver them to my new address. Once I received my boots I immediately tried them on and OH MY GOOD they softest leather! They are so beautiful! I sent them an email to thank them for my AMAZING boots and they were so kind and sweet. You can tell that they really pride themselves in the quality of their shoes and the ability to make their customers happy! I will MOST DEFINITELY purchase shoes from Modern Vice again, they have a new loyal customer for life! **Side note, my line of work has me standing for long periods of time. These shoes are going to be super comfortable during my long standing shifts**

I visited modern vice for my girlfriends Anniversary, she’s been asking me to take her here for years, i recently ordered a pair of shoes to pick up as present for my girlfriend anniversary present, I was greeted by a very friendly and helpfully passionate staff, I went over the different options and sizing happen to meet the owner Jordon gave me a free pair of sandals to give to her for the special day. He then gave me a personal factory. I can’t wait to give her the shoes they look amazing.

Honestly one of the best quality shoes & companies out there. I have multiple pairs of boots from them and love every single one. I've spent time at their headquarters in NYC, where they personally toured me through the process of making each shoe. They have made me multiple custom pairs that are incredible. They even made me custom white shoes for my wedding. I honestly can’t say enough good things!

This is one of my favorite local shoe companies, their style is always fun and break the usual mode of basic footwear. They have a cheeky sense of style. At this point, I own about 6 pairs from them with a few more on the way! Jordan is friendly and passionate about the company and it shows, Yaroc is super helpful and has the patience of a saint! Both of them took me and my sister on a tour of the manufacturing which happens right behind the showroom. Ricardo from the production team even measured is to get ensure the final shoes were a perfect fit. This is old New York garment district factory, run by and operated by a local team of old school cobblers and artisans with heart and soul. You can see the skins of each shoe being cut and sewn and prepared to be turned into the each pair, all earmarked for clients. Outside of the people, the shoes speaks volumes. I have never had to break in their shoes, they are supple, comfortable and people stop me on the street to ask about them.

I've LONGED for modern vice boots for so long and I'm proud to say I'm officially a part of this amazing club. They are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. They fit like a dream and did not require a "breaking in" period. They were 100% comfortable from the start and this is coming from someone with a wide foot and they are true to size. I went with the Holiday Teal boot and every time I wear them, I'm stopped and complimented. They are fun, flashy and make you feel like a rock star! I can't wait to add more of these glamorous boots to my collection!

These boots are so chic and well made! I purchased The Original Bolt in pink suede. They are a total statement piece and worth it. The heel is perfect and they are comfy too! I am so happy with this company and definitely recommend these boots!!!!

Since I discovered Modern Vice boots last December, this company has become my go-to brand for boots. I am lucky to live only an hour from NYC; I was able to tour the factory, meet the shoemakers, and even met Jordan, the owner, who ensured that I was personally fitted for the correct size. I have three pairs of super-stylish boots and more on order and get tons of compliments whenever I wear them! My feet are slightly wide so for the first time in my life, I have boots that fit properly without pinching my toes or sizing up just to get the right width. I am truly a customer for life. Modern Vice is a small company and the process to craft boots by hand is time-consuming. They have been overwhelmed since the holidays so some orders are taking longer to fulfill, including mine. But these boots are totally worth the wait. For anyone complaining about trying to reach Customer Service, please send a PM on Facebook or Instagram; they will usually reply within 24-48 hours. This company is legitimate and is not trying to rip off anyone.

I love my boots! Yes - I had to wait for them, but it is worth it. I think every business now is going through some logistics issues due to the COVID, but best things come to those who wait:. I don’t regret that I did not take my money back and waited just another couple of weeks for my boots to arrive. They are a lifetime piece and I will wear them for years. The boot’s skin is soft so I wear them barefoot. They don’t rub my feet.

Ive been eyeing a pair of boots from MV for some time and finally ordered the Jetts pre Covid. It did take a couple of months for me to receive the shipment, but that was understandable given they are a small, NYC based company and were hit hard with the shutdown. I imagine having to navigate a reopening plan and catching up on orders was a challenge. That being said, I am in love with these boots! They are even more exquisite in person and the craftsmanship is impeccable. You can really tell they take great pride in their work. I was anticipating the leather to be a bit stiffer, but was really surprised by how supple it was and how it had a nice give. Perfect for adapting to a wider foot. Im usually a 7/7.5 and the 37.5 size was ideal. The heel height is also really comfortable to walk in. Have gotten so many compliments on them. Honestly, can rave on and on about these but will just say, don't sleep on this brand. Their boots are beyond quality and worth it! Would definitely order again.
