hi, hope fellow sg bros can help out on sizing, been reading through sf, evidently their feet different from ours.

according to AE size chart, US11E fits me fine, now thinking of trying Meermin Oxford, knowing that the different shoe houses usually uses varying conversion, any bros can advice if UK10 will be a good fit? TIA

Conversion charts aside, the particular last plays a big part too.. Meermin have pretty varying lasts that could mean +/- 0.5to 1 size depending on your feet width.

If u take an AE E width (which is wide width under US sizing), you might fit into UK10F in Hiro last but may need UK10.5F in Meermin's New Rey last(just for example and by no means a guaranteed fit).

Wah, very nice Carmina shell collection. Very jelly haha... Venetian shoe creme helped quite a lot for a pair of my dry #8 shell boots, that didn't work out for you?

My first pair of quality shoes are arriving in the mail soon.

It has a leather sole. Is it recommended to put a vibram sole on it? Or do I just replace the sole when its worn out as it is goodyear welted.
