Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 2

[cakes.cakes]

It looks good bro! Was considering that and EEA somerset ll. In the end bought none, save $$

thanks. it is nice, but i prefer a darker shade that can match my texture belt. EEA somerset II looks good as well currently having promo, but do not have my size you shld get it if it have your size, worth it.

The flap at the penny loafers looks weird imo. You can check out meermin loafers or loake penny loafers (embankment or Highland model)

What do you guys think of: https://meermin.es/articulo.php?idArt=4390#

 

[likehotbutter]

any thoughts and comments on LLYR penny loafers?

thinking to get one, but unsure which brand is good

That square tongue/vamp looks weird imo. Prefer the usual rounded vamp.

My 1st pair of split toe design, was looking for something casual that I can wear on dressed down Fridays

 

[alvinquah]

Depending on how you view it.. It can be worn dressy or casual... IMO

Casual with linen pant

Work with flannel pant

Noticed that there is a preference for Strait European Lacings.

Why not try the alternative Strait Bar Lacings? IMO, looks a little bit more neater without the crisscrossing laces below the top strait lacings. And a little bit more comfortable.
Works best on shoes/boots with even pairs of eyelets.

I laced all my shoes using a criss cross lacing method. It does not look tidy but it is the easiest to wear and remove. Plus the length of each end is almost always equal.

I find the straight bar lacing to be neat, but not practical.

The method you highlighted here is intended for even number of eyelets.

If you look close enough, below the straight laces, you can see crisscrossing laces.

Why is it not practical? It does take some time to get both to even length. Then need some time to get used to learning how to loosen the laces by pulling the right bars.
Been using straight bar lacing on some of my shoes and it's indeed more comfortable without the criss cross laces pressing against your instep especially for my tighter pair of shoes

IMO

Outside of fashion and wealth flaunting purposes, the affection for craft quality often accompanies an elevation and appreciation of time honored traditions.

It is a statement, of an individual who seeks to express (no matter how slight) their appreciation of an era lost, of handwork, skill and provenance over the often slip-shod quality and short lifespans of modern Consumerism with their inbuilt EoL cycles, or the soulless electronic efficiency of technological progress.

So I'd hazard that the Euro Straight is commonly worn for what it is, a representation and a subtle nod to tradition, an anachronistic flair of times past.

Lol. Lace your damn shoes however you like! Anyone who judges you on whether you are in the bar or euro camp probably has nothing better going on in their lives!

nice to read a positive post regarding the flipside of why others may prefer euro straight lacings.

i'm not so much for tradition, so may not think the way others do.

and my post wasn't meant to be judgemental, it was more of wondering why euro straight lacings is much preferred over straight bar lacings.

learned quite a bit from posts such as yours just by lurking around this thread.

not so much into giving my 2 cents everytime i feel like it, cos i really do have much better things going on in my live.
