Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 2

[arcfire]

Take note that Hiro is generally shorter than other lasts. If find other lasts are snug and you have long feet, you should make sure that the length is suitable for you.

Hi,

Gosh for Meermin! In fact, I am looking at Oxford model no 101198 Black calf, is this on Hiro last? I like Meermin's double monk as the 2 straps seem thinner than llyr? Thank you.

Meermin website will state the last used for their shoes, but so far I've only seen them on hiro Haha, Have not seen them on Elton.

LLYR 39, Hiro 6.5, EEA 39

Heels flush against the line. As you can see EEA's heel cup extends abit back

But these were their older collections, if you're on the new ones cant help there

Which do you prefer of the 3?

I've not had experience with llyr but my experience with Meermin and eea was that they take almost the same amount of time to break in, with Meermin being slightly faster.

Which eea model do you have? Does it really crease alot as compared to your meermins?

I have an old MTO on either the Istana or Shenton II, a windswept single monk from the Primaute range and a single monk from the old blake-stitched range. These are pretty old models so it's hard to compare.

Creasing is bound to happen. How much creasing depends on how fitting the shoe is to your feet. Creases are also more obvious on darker shoes. If your toebox area is loose, expect to see more creases. This has been debated to death but don't be too concerned about the creasing.

Indeed, creasings will be the case and will always be for all shoes (even for high-end range). Personally, I find and feel certain creasings as a form of art/beauty itself. It depicts a certain aging process. Plain toe shoes will always crease more and wholecuts will most likely crease the most. Like our skin, leather is subjected to creasings and few of the ways to minimise (not eliminate) them is to rejuvenate it with renovateur/creams and inserting shoe trees.

If you don't want creasing buy shell!

The shoes crease to YOUR own feet, not anyone's else. Every line, every fold molded around the specific contours of your god given flesh.

It isnt so much the colours that make your shoe unique. It isnt the leather, pattern or make up either. Any Tom Dick and Harry can simply copy them, its all a matter of money.

However, your creases belong to you, marking this pair as uniquely yours truly. Embrace them!

On another note.

Anyone heard of this Thai brand called Mango Mojito.

Seems handwelted from their videos. No idea about their regular line

Toe spring. Very comfortable though, just not very pretty.

Look at the side profile of the shoes man, a little bit more and they'd be fit for elves.

This the same brand we talking about?

Seems pretty normal to me at least. Or maybe my concept of elf shoes is biased towards those with a more pronounced whorl-ish toe replete with bells

Why do I feel like I'm in a raw jeans fade thread?

I am probably one of the perpetuators on EEA creasing on this thread, and I still stand by my comments, backed by personal experience.

Like someone else mentioned, my experience too was with earlier collections and may not apply to the new collection. Perhaps this issue would be addressed with the new collection.

In case anyone thinks I am 'anti-EEA', I readily direct people to consider EEA shoes when asked for recommendations on where to get 'nice' dress shoes locally. But I do warn them about the creasing too of course.

The shoes we love around in this thread may take even longer time to break in.
You may want to try Geox or Hush puppies. I found that the padding in their leather makes it comfortable to wear right from the start.

Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it. So the usual few brands? Any1 has any info? Would be grateful
