Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 2

[quirkyhill]

Putting both shoes in one bag sort of defeats the point of having them in shoe bags in the first place dosnt it?

Unless the intention wasnt as a protection for the finish/ leather in the first place and more as a dust cover for storage which wrapping paper would much suffice lol.

yes the bolded part makes sense but you are right, my first thought was to use the bags as storage as boxes take up too much space. patent leather shoes can use paper to wrap? what kind of paper?

Patent leather is plastic lah. Don't need to worry at all. Don't need to waste so much effort. Plastic bag or newspaper also can.

Since u storing without boxes just get the bags. Just make sure u cushion the empty spaces inside (with the packing paper from the box) to avoid the shoes hitting each other.

Curious as to why Thundermarch does not need his shoe bags....
Given that i suspect his many shoes are still in boxes/bags and not worn....

I have recently increased my usable space for shoe storing / display. As such, I have brought out an additional 15 pairs of unworn shoes from their boxes. So those pairs won't be needing their shoe bags no more.

Sadly. My EEA shoes came but it was slightly big. Should have stick to my loake measurement which was 7.5

Hardly, I'm just a bloke who has a serious addiction problem. I should probably be seeking some form of medical attention.

You gotta email them to order so messing up the orders is quite unlikely I suppose but YMMV.

Here's what they responded me, for those who are interested.

Another thing to note - the conversion to S$ will be 3-5% over and above the xe.com rate

May I know if their RTW comes in only 1 width?

Not too sure tho. Best to call and ask

Shipping through either 4PX or Daigou. By Air or Sea depending on how many pairs in the end. No box will ask them to individually bubble wrap each set and pack to save on cubic space.

No upcharge just helping out since I'm already going through the trouble to get some myself anyway (5 pairs lol).

Collection either CBD or Bishan MRT or whatever is convenient for either party if im heading to a certain direction.

Just PM me what you want and how many pairs. I will have to ask interested parties to iBank their Tree cost upfront as I'm not too keen in having to offload any uncollected trees if there's a back out.

Shipping we gao tim later.

Will close and send order by 27/08/15 (Thur), 1500 (3pm)

For interested parties,

Decided to close this tomorrow 25/08/15 (Tues) , 1800 (6pm).

Just nice for me to consolidate and update all parties asap.

No point waiting so long since I'm not doing this to make money also

Do PM me by then if interested.

Heel slip is bad. So uk8.5

Remember sizes just mean length. If the length is right but too snug then try different width or last.

Combination of tongue pads and insoles will help. I'm not aware if any local cobblers have tongue pads in stock though. I'm interested to know as well if there are.

If I going to get it done I will update you. Thanks for the advice.

Btw I saw herring having some promos on "slight second" shoes. Pretty worth it IMO.

Wear thicker socks. Or switch from cotton to wool dress socks.
