Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 2

[jordanlowlowlow]

Guys, so I tried the capital last at Robinsons but there were only full sizes for the Loake shoes. Size 8 was spacious and quite loose fitting with plenty of toe space for me, while 7 was tight and uncomfortable while walking.

My natural instinct would be to get size 7.5?

Sounds about right.

In Tassels Beijing and fell in love with C&J Belgrave handgrade collection. I doubt it's handmade. Last 337.
Chestnut Antique Calf. Oak bark soles. Trimmed at the waist. Full leather insole lining. No suede lining in heel.
771 SGD. Probably could get Enzos at that price.. But heck... Already pulled the trigger.
UK8.5 for me. Usually a Uk9 but read TM posts about sizes and it's true.. Gotta account for the toe area spaces for the lasts. But I'm just lucky to be able to try on the different c&j lasts, EG, Cheaney, Bontoni.
Anyway, leather is supple and nice and I reckon it'll be a good break in with minimal blisters for me.

Congrats. S$771 quite "cheap" for handgrades, at tassels no less, where a saphir cream goes for S$45 last i saw. C&J handgrades are retailing ard £500 with VAT...

Yeah, Saphir is retailing 180rmb which is around 36sgd. According to them, HK Tassels is more exp than the Beijing branch. Got my Belgrave for rmb3822 which is SGD 778 to be exact. Well.. Just lucky to be here for a work trip. But the weather... Bloody humid and hot now.

If it helps, email them. They said they could ship to Singapore but I didn't ask about the price.

I am surprised Beijing is cheaper than HK. Especially with the 17% VAT.

Anyone knows of a good cobbler to resole?

I'm close to picking these up and do a refurbish as a rotational pair.

Are u sure u want to spend $180 to resole an used pair of AE?

Yeah I'm surprised it's priced lower in Beijing. Would HK Tassels have tax refund for foreigners?
Beijing airport VAT counter lady was snoozing away and I didn't bother to ask. Also, congrats on that lovely pair of CS Derby. Looks elegant!

True. Usually the branded goods are taxed more heavily here than in HK. Well.. The Chinese have a way of doing business.. Probably Tassels signed some MOU somewhere to ply the grey area trade.

Those C&J look perfect on u. Congrats!

That kinda took me by surprise. I have no idea that resoling would cost $180.

Finally the leather on my LLYR have softened to where wearing them is an afterthought.

This took at least 7 attempts at a full day's of use.
