BOOKING PATINA APPOINTMENT NOW!

 

[All in a Day]

Actually I just commissioned with EEA a pair of hatchgrain derby with Danite soles for the purpose of "thrashing around". Hatchgrain for its resistance to scuffs and Danite for its waterproofing.


Hopefully ready by CNY!

Haha u atas la bro! look forward to see your commission when ready!

Price is a good indicator of quality. Why would anyone sell a shoe thats new and on par with carmina quality for $42.

First shoe is patent leather and the second shoe is a blucher. Don't appear to be goodyear welted.

Holey shiet

Mai eyez are on fyre

On par with Carminas?! You'll be hard pressed to find even bata stocking such monstrosities

 

[likehotbutter]

But to answer your question.

Yes. Many have bought from Carousell before

People along the likes of Arc and Thundermarch also flog off their stuff there

Just do ones due diligence, research, manage greed, expectations and one will be fine

Headed to Tangs Orchard in the noon.
It's located at Level 3 for all bros here who have yet to visit there.

Happened to be at Vivo at night and went to Tangs, but no sight of any cream or wax.

Shoe trees at Muji at 43bucks

Shoe trees at ecco at 39.90bucks. But it's spring as you can see.

Lastly, went to take a look at protection for waterproofing at timberland. 25bucks for 200ml

Any better price/place I could get a nano waterproofing protector for my suede shoe?

I'm doubtful that it would even be better then Pedro... much less Carmina.
What a joke.

 

[darthsid11111]

Haha the fact that he makes the jump from pedro straight to carmina ought to tell you this guys is a donkey.

Need advice.. How do I know if my shoes from black hammer can be resoled

Any shoe can be resoled be they cemented(glued) or welted.

As for Black Hammer which are Cemented, any cobbler will be able to grind down and glue on a new sole

However, whether you want to spare the expense on a pair of cheapish cemented shoes is another matter. Most people resole only when the pairs are expensive or the uppers made of sufficiently quality leather.

Nice pair beanfarmer. I am still waiting for my strand which was ordered from the 25% sale in Dec.

What did you do for your pair at kip & kwip?

Added vibrams and bought a pair of tacco insoles!

Yeah I was pretty impressed, having patronised both edetal and llyr. Least punishing break in period by far.

Sorry I never got back to you on offloading em, but you should definitely get a pair yourself!
