If you buy a pair of quality Goodyear welted/Blake stitched shoe, will definitely last you through your studying years till you start working. For your budget Goodyear welted shoes might be a bit of a stretch unless you wait for sales. Can check back here, usually will share if got good lobang. Otherwise look for Blake stitched shoes, within $200 should be able to find.

Oxford shoes more formal, derbies considered less formal, leaning toward casual.

Any specific brands that I can find / try on in stores? For now, I would probably not want to spend that much on a pair first. Would consider goodyear welted shoes in future

Hi everyone,

I have a pair of earnest and collective Norwich size 42 black to let go at $99.

Bought this pair during the $99 sale but it's 1 size longer for me. Brand new and not worn yet. Anyone interested please pm me!

If you guys bought shoes from overseas but the fit is not right (too Long etc), will you all pay to send back and get it redone?

but I didn’t know we should(could) moisturise the sole too?

Outsoles are typically made of leather. And like the leather on your uppers, are also prone to drying out.
If you experience or feel that the leather on your outsoles, or even the welt, are drying out, you can certainly condition / apply creme.
In fact, the outsole is arguably less important than the welt. And the welt is commonly forgotten when conditioning your shoes.
If the outsole is badly dried out and cracked up, a resole will fix it. But if your welt suffers the same fate, the entire inseaming process needs to be re-done.

I guess you didnt moisturise your shoe. Did you try adding Renovatuer?

Yes there are specific products on the market specially formulated for conditioning full leather soles because using the same product for the shoe’s upper on the sole may result in the sole getting slippery esp if you don’t wipe away the excess.

Buy shoes and belts together from the same maker. Else after getting the shoes, bring along to shop for belts.

Yeap that's what I'm trying. But alot shoemaker no sell belt one lei. Even if have the colors does not match.

There's a market for this for entrepreneurs
