Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 2

[catseatfish]

Thanks all for the advice! Maybe I'll order the black Oxford first and see how it fits before committing to the hand-welted one. Wedding is not that soon so not very urgent yet.

Hi guys, I'm looking to get two pairs of shoes from Meermin, a GY-welted Black Oxford and a hand-welted Plum Oxford. These will be my first good shoes and I'm getting them for my wedding. I would like to know if paying $720 for the two, plus a belt and two shoe trees is worth it? I'm assuming the currency on the site is in USD, so that adds up to about SGD1000.

Might be worth checking Yanko shoes on their website in place of the plum oxfords, since they are almost at the same price point. Free shipping, and if you can convince one of your best men to buy the same pair, they are also 21% cheaper!

Just wondering does any one of you bring a long a pair of travel trees to tree your beloved shoes during house visits. Also, how do you prevent your shoes from being trampled by someone else visiting the same place as you?

Shoe trees for house visit is like bringing cooking utensils to a restaurant. Incident of shoe trampling can be avoided by manipulating two factors, height and time. Higher grounds like shelves and reducing time spent at said location. The same rules apply to carparking at tight location or places of worship. Last in first out.

My solution is to not do house visits.

Does anyone have experience shopping in the Paris Septieme Largeur store?

What are the prices like there? Thanks.

Interesting POVs really I cheat by wearing canvas or beater shoes...

Bought this pair from Tokyo, not GYW but is patina according to the salesman, about S$190.

Sent from Xiaomi MI 3W using GAGT

Wearing these for CNY and find it very comfy even as a new shoe, like a shoe break in long time already. Will go back and buy another pair when go Tokyo again middle of the year.

Hey guys, I'm just helping to gauge interest.

Would you be interested in a Skoaktiebolaget trunk show?
The specific makers that would be featured would either be Carlos Santos, Enzo Bonafé, or both.

What are your thoughts?
Feel free to post whatever you would like to see, models, lasts, swatches, etc.
As of yet, nothing is confirmed yet though they are just trying to get a feel of the sentiments here.

You can post on the main thread here, or PM me here, or on my IG.

Disclaimer:
I have no vested interest whatsoever or anything to gain out of this. Just a favor.

Yes. I would be interested to see the carlos santos lineup.

 

[starsandstripes]

That would be great!

If possible, all the different lasts from the different makers (including loafers)

If it's on weekdays, after working hours.

I would be interested too if time permits.

Will this be a standalone trunk show or tie-up with any particular tailor/men's fineries outfit?

It could also serve as a good opportunity to meet some of you guys, assuming you are comfortable with it.

This will, most likely, be a standalone trunk show.

Thanks everyone for your input so far. It has been duly noted.
Keep it coming.
