Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 2

[All in a Day]

Guys,

I'm looking to purchase two pairs of shoes from Herring Shoes (Cheaney Lime + Loake Churchill).

I've read from the previous pages that there were some promo codes that can be used to redeem shoe trees or discounts from the site. Having tried the various mentioned to have none return any valid offer has led me to this post. Can a kind soul post similar codes that have been used recently?

The shoe tree code was for first purchases, I think originating from the Ask Andy forum (pls google that yourself) from several years back. Not sure if it is still an active promo.

"Public" discount codes typically run for limited time period and AFAIK, none that are currently active. Herring may send codes to certain inactive customers to entice new purchases but if I am not wrong, those codes work for those specific customers' accounts only.

If you do not need the shoes urgently, wait around for sales (there would typically be a summer sale within the next 2, 3 months), or better yet, wait for Black Friday..

Good luck!

Herring seldom has discount for other brands. Mainly for their own Herring brand only.

Robinshoes used to be the favourite for their regular 15-20% store wide discount. Thus many bros here sad that they are stopping to carry Loake.

@All in a Day,

Thank you for that useful bit of information.

I do not need the shoes urgently, and your idea to wait for the sales is a very interesting proposal. I do not suppose that ALL shoes will be discounted during those sales, or am I wrong?

What are your experiences of said sales?

I have recently sent an email to Herring Shoes regarding availability and was informed that the Cheaney Lime will have to wait for around August for stocks to arrive. However, if I were to purchase both shoes now, the Loake Churchill will be shipped immediately. Given the price of the shoes (Churchill ~S$311, Lime ~S$410), this actually puts me in a rather interesting position as the split shipment reduces me to paying GST only for the Lime.

Of course, if the sales that you refer to are significant, I would probably be better off with two individual shipments instead, and avoiding GST altogether!

I suppose you and other HWZ members have much greater experience in this field; will good things come to those who wait and risk a sale on specific shoes, or does it make no difference either way?

For those who are looking at how to restore your shoes using Saphir products, there is a restoration guide with tips and images: www.goo.gl/aFWgU9

The key lies in the highly penetrative formulation of the Pommadier 1925 creme.

As someone pointed out, herring sales or discount codes tend to be for their house brand (but there are also clearances). U can also consider loake from pediwear. Free shipping compared to herring at full price. Again summer sales.

Cheaney direct from their website do have sales from time to time. Some effort and patience to wait and research if u want a good deal..

Hi guys,

I just bought a loake cannon dark brown calf but the size is a tad too big for me.

I am looking to let it go. PM me if you are keen (U.K. Size 7.5) have not worn it out except trying on at home.

After wearing a pair of new shoes for couple of days, creases appear on the vamp and seem like biting onto my toes area whenever i walk.
Any solution to solve this?

The size just nice. Are you referring to the fitting not suitable for me?

Fit is subjective but what you described sounds like my experience when I thought my shoes fit just right when in fact they were one size too big. Either that or the last isn't really your friend.

Hi, I see a mirror, how did you polish it? Can share the tips?

It takes experience more than anything else. Some leathers take to polish more easily than others. You'll need to try it out.

Patience is the key. You need to apply a very thin coat of polish for each layer that you put on. Don't over apply or it will crack very easily.

Alternatively, there are establishments (no pun intended) that offer free polishing courses that you can enroll in to learn too.

Else, I'm more than happy to have a chat about it over a cup of coffee (on you that is)
