Hand Painted Matching Belt

“Over my career, I had the good fortune to help people launch dozens of companies. Although I didn’t consult much on the JRozario project, I had the privilege of watching as Mr. Rozario, over the course of several years, did his homework and due diligence. The difference between J.Rozario and all the others? Joshua Rozario did everything right. No exceptions. That is rare. So I requested the honor of being J.Rozario’s first paying client. The result is an excellent, unique line of beautiful, bold, Patina-centric Goodyear Welted shoes of excellent workmanship. Priced far lower than other brands of this quality. When I ordered my first pair, the “Blaze,” the unboxing experience was sublime. Beautiful Box and packaging, a high shined pair of brogued wholecuts that I wore with no need for further finishing. The stitch count is 8spi on a unique black leather sole. The fit is perfect … I wore them all day right out of the box. And, of course, the matching belt. Even more value at the same modest price. People have noticed. They give compliments. Order your first pair. It won’t be your last (Well, it will be your last, but not your last pair.)”

“This was my first MTO shoe so I didn’t have much to base the experience on, but I can tell you for sure, that the customer service level that Joshua & his team brings, puts J.Rozario and their shoes on a level that should cost at least twice or more and I haven’t even told you about the amazing shoes yet! The founder, Joshua and I spent a good hour on a video call going over the design specifications that I wanted from size to color to broguing, etc. but I also let him have a free hand too and I think you will agree that the end result is stunning!  Their team was in communication with me at least once a week during the 6 week process, keeping me informed of where the shoe was in production and so forth as we went. Once the shoes were made, (in Spain, by the way, where many of the top names in shoes come from,) they then sent it to their custom patina artist who turned the basic British tan blucher… into these gorgeous beauties.”

“I’m very good friends with the owner of a new shoe company, J.Rozario. I was given a pair to try out and give my opinion on style, quality value. I’m a clothing designer and menswear stylist so looks really matter to me. I was thoroughly impressed with the styling on the captoe oxford and the quality of the build. The leather is fantastic. Soft, supple with a solid, Goodyear welted construction. I wore the shoes a few times the week, after I received them. Break in was instantaneous. Literally, from the box to my feet – super comfortable! I would expect to pay about $250 for a shoe of this caliber. I was pleasantly surprised to find these will retail at $199. That’s a great value for a Goodyear welted shoe made with a quality leather and great styling and comfort.”

“I got these Cap Toe Oxfords (Blair Mocca) from J.Rozario. I have to say the these are very beautiful shoes and especially at this price point. Great quality to price ratio and definitely hitting way above its price range. They check all the basic requirements, goodyear welted, leather soles etc. but what sets them apart is the beautiful last and attention to detail such as not a stitch out of place, heel has a bit of extra leather padding to ensure comfort and a very nice natural patina! I Love it and would definitely be coming back to get a loafer and a wingtip in black.”

“I am thrilled with my J.Rozario shoes that I ordered for my wedding. Not only did they perfectly complement my attire, but they also garnered numerous compliments throughout the event. The attention to detail, quality craftsmanship, and comfortable fit exceeded my expectations. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and would highly recommend J.Rozario for anyone seeking stylish and remarkable shoes for special occasions.”

“I am extremely pleased with my J.Rozario Oxfords (Blair). Being on my feet all day, comfort is crucial for a shoe to make it into my regular rotation of footwear. These shoes surpassed expectations with over 10,000 steps and 12+ hours of wear. The leather is luxuriously soft, and the sole’s detailing is impeccable. I am eager to expand my collection with more pairs from this exceptional brand. I wholeheartedly recommend giving this brand a try.”
