I'm fine to pay like $200 - $300. Probably looking at simple but trendy like Aldo and Petro kinda designs. But these 2 always don't have smaller sizes and their smallest is 39.

If can stretch to $320+- can get Loake 1880 range shoes (when they are on 20% discount on Robinson Shoes).
Sent from Workday using GAGT
Thanks! Saw that under the clearance section,but its a half size up. Once I get the sizing sorted I'll have to wait for the next round of 20%
For those who are interested also, theshoesnob has a drop on massdrop that is ending today. The plum museum calf looks good!
received a pleasant surprise before lunch!this pair of shoes finally appeared after 4 weeks of waiting.
Do show the shoes!

Loake is as english as they get. Doubt he wants that. Maybe something italian in a blake/bologna construction would suit him more?
as requested, here are the pictures. pardon the poor quality.
was advised by Gabriel to downsize by half size even though I wear a 6.5 UK for Carmina Inca last. I also wore 6.5 UK for Robert, Hiro (Meermin) and Capital (Loake)

Seems like you bought the shoe trees from Skoak as well.... How are they compared to generic ones?
No idea also. The tracker went silent after 1st Dec and suddenly it just appeared on my office desk! lol.
I did contact Skoak team and the Swedish postal office last week about my "missing" shoes. Alexander said they will investigate it. The normal delivery timeline should be about 2 weeks so mine is a weird case.
As for the shoe tree, it's quite similar to Carmina shoe trees. quite wide. Generic shoe tree tend to be more narrower.
And yes, instep is high compared to Hiro's. 804 seem to be my fav last now!
now, the wait continues for another 2 pairs of shoes!

I see. I thought they use FedEx. Mine appeared very soon, and I just got reminded to pay the GST to FedEx.
Ya, they used fedex too. but I topped up another 200 SEK to use the postal delivery instead. you sure know for what reason.

I see and I know. But free shipping on FedEx counts for something. although i have yet to even condition (not to mention wear) those shoes.

Of course it's to support Singpost! Right? Right?

I tried to spend up to the the free shipping amount but they ran out of shoe trees. Otherwise, I will hit GST too.
Of course.
Of course.
Probably you are right. Any brand recommendation that has small sizes?
I saw Ed Et Al shoemaker has some small sizes for men. Never hear about them being mentioned much here thou.
