Looking to sell because found it a bit too big to wear it without socks, so off it go. Wore for 1 short afternoon today, so the only thing not new is the wear on the sole for 1 afternoon.

Looking at $210 SGD, see anyone is interested or not :(

Just get those ankle less socks e.g. Uniqlo. In fact, in humid Singapore, I do not encourage sockless because the sweat from your feet goes to the shoe directly

Yeah I actually tried those thin socks at home, but still feels big haha. I actually like my shoes snug, and this doesn't even have laces to tighten a bit. Got a feeling need to down 1 full size rather than 1/2 size for penny loafer.

Also quite long, plus they don't reply to emails.

I've stopped buying Viccel due to their standard not consistent. U buy same colour same type of socks at different time, u get different shades of the same colour.

I've been getting replies to my emails within 2 days..

Colour I think is fine la, more importantly is how it wears.

What brand do you get then?

Well... sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you're not....

I've been trying to find nice socks as well but patterned ones (particularly otc) are hard to find. I was looking for some herringbone, houndstooth and some contrasting vertical striped ones but can't seem to find much.

Anyone has some nice sources for socks to share?
