Shoes look gorgeous! Too bad I'm a US 10 with some room to spare.

I feel less and less liking for big blocky shoes. Prefer sleek ones.

Worn less than 30 times. because i rotate with 5 pairs, but i rotate this less. much less.

Personal liking is the Alden Shell Penny loafer Very sleek and light.

I have the same material in 'long wing' design but it seems sleeker than PTB. That i will keep.

I like to have a little bit of both;this has caused me to end up with A LOT of both, but I'm not complaining.

Didn't like the Barrie PTB at first but they've really grown on me.

i realized it's not easy to take black shoes picture, because it's black and non-reflective. hehe..anyway one more here. maybe looks old fashion to most of you.

Apart from alden's online site that charges a ridiculous 135USD for shipping, where else do you guys get your aldens from? Most of the sites don't ship aldens internationally. Not even to a freight forwarding company like comgateway or vpost..

concierge service

 

[Newtothis]

Do you mean the concierge service provided by Borderlinx or like Comgateway's 'buy for me' service? Just checked that the concierge service by Borderlinx is free for Citibank cardholders. When they purchase it on my behalf, they'll be shipping to my warehouse lot at their company and that's basically shipping it to a freight forwarding company isn't it? Will that work out?

I can empathise. FWIW I used to wear Hush Puppies and they were the most fugly but indestructible shoes. The nicer ones that I got from Aldo or Pedro never lasted more than a year.

However you can try
http://archules.com/shop/
Which seems to have some pretty decent designs at your price range. Buying from them means supporting local, FWIW.

Got a question regarding shoe trees,

I got a pair of uk 7 meermins but a eu 42 generic shoe tree.
The shoe tree fits in but the spring is fully compressed and the heel of the shoe tree is slightly larger then the heel of the shoes (I had to use a some force to push the knob area into the heel area). Should I try to downsize the shoe tree by sanding or should I just buy a new pair of trees?

Archules looks really nice from the pictures but I'm not even sure if they are still operating. They don't have many size for the oxfords and yet they offer customers to try 2 sizes lol
Wanted to buy from them but there wasn't my size in stock.

UK 7 sounds like a Euro 40.5.
Sounds like your shoe tree is too long.

I'm looking for a belt to go with my brown shoes. Where can I find quality leather belts? Preferably in a physical store in sg.

PS doubt its the right thread but i figured peeps here would be able to answer this

Better to size down your trees though technically if you can fit them in and out without using too much it should be fine. I had a pair of oversized trees before - have to spend 5 mins to force it out cause it was so compressed.
