Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 2

[trendmatrix]

Just received these MTOs today.
Words cannot even begin to describe what I feel about them.

Where did you buy them from?

need some advise guys. i jus bought a pair of meermins oxford. however the size is just nice. no gaps at all. usually the shoe i wore have abit of gap at the heel area. should i just wear it? as i heard that leather dress shoes expand over time. thanks

No gap is the correct size provided your toes or other parts of the feet don't feel squashed.

Check out Carmina online. Should be about around same price as Tods.

I see. But how about the sizing? Did you manage to try their size in a brick and mortar shop before ordering through the website? I find Saint Crispins shoes difficult to size.

No. I didn't.

No. I didn't.

Wow then how did you figure out the shoe size and last?

what's the difference between those big brand names and shoe brands like meermin and carmina? like how do they actually compare, dollar to dollar in terms of value (workmanship and material only, disregard the brand)

Don't buy big brand names and buy meermin and carmina.

One is paying for branding the other, a quality product.

How do you define 'quality' product? Someone who buys Pedro, Aldo or Bata shoes find Meermin and Carmina are big brand names, and he will be paying for the branding too.

Context is important. A quality shoe for me will have goodyear welting and top or full-grain leathers. Knowing what you're paying for is very important.

The buckles position is so odd that they hardly makes the shoes a nice pair.

Where can I get shoe tongue pads in Singapore? Need a pair to make my EEA loafers bit more snug.

 

[urbanturban]

Is there a place that i can measure my feet on a Brannock in Singapore professionally?

I don't even mind paying for it.

I've bought a few pairs of shoes prior to this so I more or less know what size to go for. Just asked Sko for some sizing advice over email and ordered
