Yeossal's owner doesn't post here, but knowing him, I must say he's a great guy with his heart and priorities in the right place.
I wish his endeavour all the best, and am looking forward to his future offerings. Would definitely give him my fullest support.

Hi bros / experts here, I am really new to getting a pair of "better" shoes. Had been reading past few hundred pages of the thread (really cannot finish all).

I would very much appreciate if any bro here can advice me on the following:
1) how is custommade.sg shoes? they having promo now 250 per pair (seems quite worth it)

2) loake 1880 shoes (which website is the best to get, normally how long does the shipping takes?)

3) if i am always wearing a size 43 for pedro, what size should i get for loake shoes? (i had read earlier thread going to RSH or timberland to get my feet measure, however, i am just trying my luck to skip this step)

Appreciate your help. TIA!

I wear 42 in Pedro.
Measured my feet on brannock device, was UK 7.5.
Tried both size 7 and 8 at metro for loake aldwych (they don't have half sizes) 7 was too small, 8 was slightly large.

You are probably a UK size 8.

How do they compare to loakes 1880 and barker handcrafted series?

I only have 1 Loake 1880 and no Barkers.

I like my Loakes. They are what they are. Reasonable price point /quality.
The only difference is JFitz has closed channel if it is important to you.

I think the leather is probably on par or maybe Jfitz edge it a bit.

Not familiar with Barker but J.Fitz's lasts are definitely more sleek and narrow as compared to say Loakes Aldwych. Having said that, I would say that the soles of the Loakes are comparatively more hardwearing than the J.Fitz. Both are pretty decent but fit is the most important. Otherwise corns will be your worst nemesis.
