Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 2

[thundermarch]

Getting the llama pair? Would love to see your 'exotic' leather shoe collection.

By the way for anyone that's curious, Uetam is pronounced, "Wettam" like "where-thumb". Been mistaking it as ee-thumb.

I don't really have that many "exotic leather" shoes. But I must say I've recently been really intrigued by interestingly grained leathers, lol.

 

[dephekt]

is anyone able to get a GMTO for a wholecut in burgundy? i'd love to have that.

oh and on a side note i have a pair of meermin's for sale over here if anybody is keen.

Wanted to try a rubber sole, the rest looks a little too heavy duty.

Don't have any personal experience with Tomir but from what i've read it, it should feel somewhat similar to a single leather sole (plus a topy maybe).

Thoughts?

I topy to save on resoling costs and shipping time you see.

The tomir while def more hardwearing than the average leather sole dosnt really offer me the advantage of a topy, where I just strip off the worn layer and reapply instead of having to do a full resole.

However I got rubber soled suede boots for days when I've got the feels for a full on rubber smack down lol

Tomir soles feel really good.
It feels and looks just like a single leather sole. Except, it isn't.

Bro, still going strong! For a moment i had thoughts of the loafers crafted out of a tibetian monk. Lol

Well, yeah. I honestly thought I could stop buying shoes, some time ago, but I just can't.

Part of the reason why that GF loafer looks awesome is the green lining.

Hi, after waiting for almost 2 months, i finally received my Carmina belts.
However, they are a tad too shortl for me. Wearing on the last hole is not ideal.

The colours are:
- Burgundy
- Brown
- Cognac

Size is 95.

Please PM me if you would like to take these off from me. We can discuss the discount offline via PM. Thanks.

what's ur waist size? any photos?

 

[urbanturban]

I have a 37 inch waist.
As long as you are 35 to 36, you should be able to fit 95.
I can fit the last hole.

The colours can be found here.

Feel much better after pulling the trigger.
In a crude way, it feels as good as taking that huge crap that's long overdue.

Looks like the carmina price increase is minimal at skoAB. About $10-20 for shoes and $50 for chukka. Can check out the new price list at sko's style forum thread

yea, if only carmina sg does the same for the pricing. really wanted to support them but 200+ premium is really bad for business

Its about 50% higher than SkoAB and Carmina website price, maybe if price higher, have service and got some special privileges like priority MTO service which delivers in half the time, or shoe polishing package thrown in I'll feel more worth it.

Vivek's service is so good that I decided to support them, and I ordered an MTO derby shoe during the 2nd week of their opening. First time I try shoes and got people help me fit into the shoe and tie the lace. Really accommodating, feels like I am a very valued customer, although my wallet might disagree with me. haha!

i support carmina sg by getting some belts, creams etc, but the shoes ... i cannot see myself paying the up charge

have to agree on the shoe polishing package, i wouldn't mind paying for an upfront polishing package.
