On off day and found some time to polish the shoes and might as well take some photos of them. Such an addictive hobby...

Thanks guys. The tan double monks is from Carmina, Inca last. The burgundy double monks is from Yanko, 915 last. The tan loafers and black wingtips are from LLYR, not too sure on the last but they are on the narrow and long side.

Am guessing the brown DM are the Loake Cannons.

The tan DM could be Carmina in Inca last

Squared apron suggest LLYR (for at least 1 of the 2 pairs of loafers)

And a wild guess that the black full brogues are Edetal!

Edit: Cross posts. Well, at least I got a few guesses correct!

Different brands nia. Even within the different brands there are different ranges of products so it really isn't fair to compare between brands.

i bought a pair of AEs online couple months back and it was too big for me (bought US9 knowing that all my other shoes are also US9). A waste

Is there anywhere in Singapore that I can try on the shoes before buying? I really like their designs and durability.

 

[JoePilot]

Whose size9 dark brown Loake 1880 Buckingham is that at Kips n Kwik??! Faster own up!

Very nice, sir!

Put in an insole to fill up the volume and it should be ok

Got 9D or 9EEE?
9D -> 9D a insole will solve the problem unless You saying 9D from AE fits like a 10+

I keep getting these stains on my shoes after wearing them for a day. They look like wet stains, but they do not disappear like normal wet stains. Any one else facing this same problem? Could it be leather issue? I dont think they are salt stains either because of the lack of white residue on the surface.

p.s. Nope they are not piss stains! I check after every trip to the bathroom!

For some reason your image doesnt load.

wakeupdead, i think they are oil/grease stains. probably from food.

I thought that would be the main suspect.
This pair got drenched after I walked around in the rain this morning, the stain went away after the leather dried off considerably.

BUT now I'm left with water stains under the build up of wax on the cap-toe. This leather shoes business sure is tedious to say the least!

You'll get used to it..

 

[urbanturban]

You can choose to wear black or dark brown shoes which will hide stains better.
Or you will learn to live with it.

I'll have to! Cant imagine going back to Pedro and the likes, having made the transition to calf.

These water stains under the wax will take much longer to disappear I presume? Since the layer of wax will act as a trapping agent, making evaporation much harder
