Ace Marks Men's Dress Shoe Review: Diablo Tramonto Patina Wholecut Oxfords (& More)

About this video

The Gazette team reviews Ace Marks shoes, an Italian-made brand they’ve previously collaborated with. They examine the brand’s construction quality, leather characteristics, styling, and value proposition, comparing them to competitors like Velasca, Scarosso, and Meermin across different price points.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends Ace Marks as good value under $200 (Kickstarter pricing), though at full retail price of $299 they rate them lower compared to Meermin at the same price point
• The Gazette team notes Ace Marks uses Italian box calf leather with attractive patinas, Blake Rapid construction, and comfortable lasts that require minimal break-in time
• The Gazette team observes Ace Marks has a distinctly Italian styling aesthetic that is more elongated than traditional designs, with colorful patina options that make the shoes stand out
