Still have original box.

Looking at $150 for bros here.

Txture Warhorse Boots
Colour: Oxblood
Last: Budokan
Construction: Veldtschoen
Sole: Dainite
Cap: Plain-toe
Eyelets: 8 (solid brass)
Lining: Fully lined lambskin
Tongue: Gusseted
Size: US8.5
Width: D

Used for about 3 months around Q4 2016, approx 4 days a week.
Always have shoe trees in when not in use.
No box.
Photos taken today.
Definitely need a heel replacement, will cost about $20 at Shukey or other decent cobbler shops.

Looking at $120 for bros here.

I think my feet/walking way doesn't work well with Dainite soles, wears out too damn fast.
My current boots on commando sole after 7 months, approx 4 days a week, the heel still have 60% or more longevity.

Any kind bros can guide me to any good shops for replacements laces that would suit such a shoe? TIA!

Try cobblers (mister minit etc), shoe shops (hush puppies etc) or department stores (takashimaya etc).

Is it the standard round laces or the super thin round laces or flat laces?

LLYR and Maison and Smith also carries laces I believe. Otherwise the usual departmental stores and cobblers should have them.

Did you try searching in your carmina box? Usually they will come with extra spare shoelaces. Otherwise, how about a new pair of shoes which might come with complimentary shoelaces ? :s13:

Anyway.. price dip again from 5xx to 4xx euros for zonkey boots, with lasted shoetrees and free shipping.. good bargain if it's in your size. Disclaimer*i have never purchased anything from this website before though, buy at your own risk, as the store is closing down.

Cheaney vs. Loake 1880 Sizing

Hi guys, first time posting here after stalking this thread for a long while.

I'm currently wearing a size 40 Ed Et Al and looking to get another pair for rotation. Went to Metro to try out Loake Aldwych and found that Size 7 seems quite fitting.

After going through Pediwear, came across Cheaney Fenchurch which is a tad more expensive than Loake but seems to offer much more superior product.

Now the problem is what size should i get for this pair of Cheaney since there doesnt seem to be any retail store carrying it in SG?

Also wanted to check if there is any promo on any of the websites during this period?

Any helps are welcomed! TIA

You probably need to first find out the last of the Cheaney model that you are interested in. I believe the Cheaney website does have a good comparison of their various lasts. You can also pose your query to Pediwear quoting your Loake Aldwych sizing (which is on the Capital last) and seek their advice what would be their recommended equivalent size for the Cheaney model. They are usually quite helpful.

Cheaney's own website was having summer sale. I read about that a few weeks back though, so don't know what's left of the sale.

Good luck!

Good idea, probably post the question to Pediwear and Herringshoes and maybe Shoe Healer for advice.

Saw Cheaney's website's sale but prices doesnt seem any more attractive than these other online retailers.

Fenchurch is on the 11028 last. It should be very similar to capital last. Both slightly generous last from my experience.

Isn't the 40 on your Ed's just abit too small?

Yeah, Herring got back to me and said i should go for 7F as well. The Ed was initially slightly tight but 41 was a tad too big. Though it was just about right after breaking in.
