Most probably yes, shopping there is like duck talks to chicken, anyway happy can liao!

just when i was about to pull the trigger on a canon from robinsonshoes, the sale was over. Anyone knows if there would be a christmas sale??

Considering between the loake cannon or the hyde for formal wear.

If no urgency then just wait. They have sales up to 25-30% off. Monks and derby boots, v different choices..

Internet shopping can talk very detailed but nothing beats touch, feel, see n try the actual product being buying, even if chicken n duck talk.

I thought that was the idea of choosing postal delivery so I don't have to stand by at the door?

That's correct. Of all the times I've bought from sko, I've only been hit by gst that one time. Swedish post usually gets you through.

Eh btw $20+ is not incl of heel. So perhaps he has poor attitude but I don't think he is cheating you.

That's good to hear, then I guess it's the real price for half sole + heel guard.
Probably still going to wait till the Loake Cannon arrives first before I can send in my Strand for Vibram. 2 months seasoned (4days/week wear) should be more than enough haha!

Yeah at the moment they have daily flash sales.
Or you could always camp for 20% discount, I think on average once a month.

Sometimes are all products (normally will send promotional email for this), and particular brand only sales (eg. Loake), but it will be silent sales no email notifications.

So I normally just check daily if I am camping to buy LOL!

You can try solemann next time If you are in raffles area. Not bad.

Went to ask for quote at Tampines 1 Shukey and eta for doing half sole guard + heel guard.

Was quoted $40 last week, and the cobbler gave me a very vague timeline of 3 hours to 4 days.

So I didn't do the vibram yet since I only have 1 pair of dress shoe and 4 days are too long...(Means no dress shoe for me to wear in the meantime)

I even asked him if I send in on sat morning (which is the next morning) can I get it by sun night time. Got the same answer of 3 hours to 4 days.

Guess I will only do sole guard to my Loake Strand only when my Loake Cannon comes in.

I think one of the staff that had attitude problem. I had bad experience with them too. Previous when I try to send my shoe to repair. I got the similar reply too.

Otherwise when I passed by the shop, I always see other staff chitchat with customer.

Friendly reminder to take good care of your shoes in this rainy period.

I just had my uppers soaked through because I was caught in the rain while returning back from lunch. I think I'm going to waterproof the uppers over the weekend.

That's why I bought a Cannon for my 2nd pair knowing it will fit well for me too.
