Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 2

[thundermarch]

Would you or TM be able to give sizing advice for this pair of boots?

I'm not sure what my Detroit/Soller size is as suggested by Skoak

What I do know is I'm a Rain UK7.5, Simpson UK8 and Inca UK7

Thanks!

I wear the 363MOD in my Rain size. Though some ppl recommend sizing down, I have not experienced the generous instep that many have commented on... On my current pair of 363MOD boots.
I'll know more when I receive these boots.

It's just my opinion, but I've always felt G&G does not make financial sense above 600SGD.

That means i have bought an extremely expensive set of braces.

hey guys, anyone of you having trouble with shoes that got into some rain? annoying white spots appearing on my carmina and it's difficult to remove even after applying some reno and polish.

I've had a similar issue. I tried Reno and wax and it didn't work. You can try using cream on it. After that I was too lazy and sent it to M&S.

This thread is indeed 'inspiring'

Guys, I am wearing 40 on LLYR what do you think should I be on 946 and Rain last？UK6? Looking at EB Raven Oxford

Lusso carries EB and there is a physical Carmina store in Singapore. They are located 20mins apart. Why not just try out the sizes there?

The smaller sizes are relatively hard to come by + what the design as well. I think you are right should get the fit sort first

Thanks !

It's not an uncommon issue, that's why there are shoe covers to protect against rainy days.

For me, I use tarrago conditioner balm to clean off those white stains/spots.

Again, just purely personal opinion, but I think it's a little poor form, to try at Lusso then buy from SkoaB tbh.
The carmina franchise shop here obviously has some tie up with the main guys in Spain so it might not be that bad to buy stuff from the carmina online shop, that's not available from the physical store here.
I'll say this not because I'm biased towards them, but I know for a fact that the base cost of the EBs that lusso carries, taking into account the shipping here, it's definitely not low. The profits are marginal, very marginal, at their selling price.

Regardless of their profit margin, the prices for the EBs are really good, no doubt about that.

I think it works both ways. People that visit with the original intention of trying the size may end up liking something that they've tried and make a purchase. I'm sure the guys at Lusso have already considered the possibilities of these situations happening.

As long as you're happy dude.
Lol.

Hi All,
is Enzo 946 last similar to Loake Capital?
necessary to size up 1/2?

Thanks

 

[urbanturban]

Lol.

YOLO..... the mantra of persons with thin wallets and unworn shoes...

I still have not bought my Meccariello.

 

[Emospence]

To save money on shipping a set of braces from Skoak, I bought a pair of Isham.

I think it makes financial sense to do so.

I like the way you think..

Have not had a chance to try 946, but based on advice I received, I'd get same size if buying blind

 

[urbanturban]

I wear the same size for 946 and Capital last.

As Mr Stark would say, "is it too much to ask for both?"

But yes they are super chio. Tempted. Very tempted.
