Not able to. On a closer look, it's quite a deep cut.


Where's the scratch? I only noticed the mirror shine!

Look at my left toe cap at the tip. 2 horizontal likes.

Just scratched my shoes again when closing the fridge door... Grrr

Hi gents,

Appreciate answers to my questions regarding orders from Robinson's Shoes.

For the free shipping option offered, do they provide tracking number (Royal Mail)?

So far I've only received an email from Robinsons with only a shipment number, sent a week ago. I've logged-in to my account on their webstore, trying to look up for the shipment number & tracking number (if any), but can't seem to be able to find what I'm looking for.

My first order through Robinsons, thought i asked my question here before sending them an email.

Ordered from Pediwear and Herrings before, and both times, I was furnished with tracking numbers (ParcelForce & DHL) via emails. Albeit paid shipping option.

Thank you.

I got free shipping with tracking number (royal mail). But i only got the tracking number from the CS after i emailed them because my order status is shown as processing for a week.

Need advice from expert here regarding shoe care as i just got my first pair of full grain leather shoes.

After some reading up, I'm buying horsehair brush, applicator brush, saphir renovator, saphir cream polish. Is wax polish necessary? Any other things that i need?

Also I'm intending to buy from http://www.afinepairofshoes.co.uk/ is there other cheaper alternative?

Upkeep? -> no need
Shine? -> you will need the wax.

Too long... Hahaha
From my limited experience and skills, it usually takes about 5 to 10 coats of wax to get a decent shine. Then another 10 coats or so to get a deep shine on the toe cap,depending on how well the leather takes in the wax.

I attempted a few mirror shines in the past (newbie skills), but took me close to 1.5-2 hours on a pair. Now I just do 1 cream 1 wax coat only. If I'm feeling like it will do a few coats of minor mirror shine on toe cap.

But yours looks super awesome on the overall of the shoes, not just toe cap only. (Y)

If your office chair is a swivel chair with rollers at the bottom of each leg, you can rest the heel of each shoe on the edges of 2 adjacent legs.

always do that
but when roll around or stand up, the heel of the shoe will accidentally scuff against the legs.

heart pain~

Thanks. It's really more of a cumulative of multiple sessions that I got to this stage. I don't have the patience to do it all in 1 sitting.
