Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 2

[whysoliddat]

You are right.

Stick to sneakers if u don't have a need or preference for leather shoes. Indeed they would be more comfy and generally not as expensive..

In which case do take your discussion on the sneaker thread then!

Walao eh, working shoe for young exec cannot wear sneakers meh? Double standard or suck up to class? I work office wear this shoe, work warehouse also wear this shoe, book in book out camp also wear this shoe, why must go sneaker thread? The fact is that this sneaker is a wedding gift from my wife, so i wear lor since comfy. I already have my eyes on a pair of redwing shoes that i kept yearning for...

By the way, got any lobang for redwing shoe? Or buy online better? Or go Tuckshop buy?

U mentioned in an earlier post that u are not that old.. assuming u are a fit Singaporean, hope u're not taking your IPPT in ed et als or carminas.

Perhaps leather sneakers, like CBS? Altho I don't think he uses those sneakers for gym or running (2.4km in 8min50sec)

I broke a few things while serving the nation.. So I'm exempt.

Apart from my Nikes for gym, and Havianas for the beach I'm only in Loakes or EEAs!

Lol. I'm afraid to ask what CBS uses for exercise.

For millennia, men ran, marched, fought and died in leather shod feet, even up to the early years of WWII.

Im sure Darthsid will be fine running his IPPT in leather boots should he wish

Well for footwear in SEA the Vietnamese know best.. If they could hold their own against the americans in these.. Rubber slippers it is then.

U are technically correct that this thread is indeed named working shoe and I would not disagree that the term "young exec" is not meaningful but it would be rather apparent that the discussions going on in this thread are revolving around leather shoes.

Just pointing you to a more appropriate thread where your queries and discussions might find better company and more relevant replies and in no way judging your choice or preference of footwear.

And coincidentally there is a redwing shoe thread in this forum that should address your query, trust there is no ambiguity or misunderstanding over the rationale for pointing u to that thread.

Complicated.

Shoulders/posterior leg day - Butteros, rotate between 3 pairs depending on the color of my shirt, becos the leather is very thick which helps cushions the back of my heels against the back extension bench.

Squat day, back/chest day - Converse canvass Chuck Taylor's

Long slow jogs - Nike Free 4.0's

Stadium sprint days - NB Minimus

Cycling in the park (slowly with family) - Shimano SPD sandals

Cycling off-road (serious) - SIDI carbon with SPD cleats

Cycling road (serious) - SIDI carbon with Look cleats

Once again, that's why you're my idol. Lolol. Having different outifts for different workouts is only something that I can aspire towards.

Take what allinaday is saying constructively.. The alternative would be to get ignored here!

These days I do more cycling in ECP with the family than anything else. I used to be a regular at Ubin, every single Saturday. BT once in a while. My cycling buddies prefer Ubin.

I came here because one guy here told me to come to this specific thread and post my issue so ppl here can help. But now i guess I'll be moving on the sneaker thread. Thanks all for helping!

That would be me and I apologise as I was operating under the mistaken assumption that you were referring to GYW shoes as one rarely hears of requests to mend sneakers.

Need some sizing advice for meermin

My feet size is appox length 265mm width 98mm. I wear US 9 Adidas sport shoes. Not sure if sport shoes and dress shoes will be a gold gauge.

Anyone can advise on my UK size for meermin? I looked around SF and saw that a UK 7 might fit me but it will be a tight width.

Email them. Sportshoes have a lot of cushioning which have more allowance if the shoes are sized incorrectly.

I have 265mm length and 97mm width. US 9 in adidas shoes too. Uk 8 in the olfe last fits just nicely for me.

But yes. Trace your feet on paper and blast it to them. They reply rather quickly when they smell a potential sale coming up.

Paid Francis of Kips & Kwik (Junction 8) a visit over the weekends. As usual, was served with good service from the well-mannered gent. What allures me, he's straight-forward and honest about stating his judgment based on his observation. If he views something as irreparable, he will outrightly state so. I watched how he turned down a potential customer even when I feel that the defect could be remedied. But as an untrained personnel, how possibly could I have known better as compared to him..

Maybe news to some (or perhaps I'm outdated); he offers 2 types of Vibram soles/heels protectors. The difference is mainly the thickness as i was duly-informed.

Soles:



From left to right: $30 and $28 respectively

Heels:



From left to right: $28 and $22 respectively

The dearer will be the thicker one.

He will gladly oblige to give you (i mean your shoes) a "happy ending": A brief polish using Tarrago. But pls do not expect a spit-shine.

Master-Fix uses a different type of Vibram sole protectors. Theirs is quite thin and have a diamond pattern... But they charge $50.

I would think that thin sole protectors are more desirable though. Too bad I don't live anywhere near Bishan.

Hi lirahs, just wanna add on my experience and hope it benefits others too. soleman uses the exact same two protectors that you have shown. I have tried out both on my shoes so far. Was recommended to use the thicker one as its supposedly more lasting.

Thickness wise, I don't feel much of a difference imo between both vibram soles. So personally for me, I will stick to the thicker ones here on out

Pricing wise, I think I paid 27 the thick ones, did it only on the front (no heel)
