Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 2

[darthsid11111]

Eh? The driving loafers never had half sizes. Size up or down half size to get tighter/looser fit as per your preference is justin's recommendation. Looks like we both have big feet!

Did you size down or up? =s Haha big feet are a pain.

Cream has some colour pigment, and polish/wax has more.
So both (if darker than your leather) will add some colour/darken the leather a bit.
When in doubt, use neutral or a lighter colour.

thanks for your advice!

Up. Think it would be bad if my right foot cramped on me while driving. Fingers crossed that it doesnt end up clownish.

Justin leans towards a slimmer aesthetic as compared to loakes and is more daring in his design. Contruction wise, justin used to personally involve himself in the qc of his first few collections. Not sure if that's still true now that his business is ramping up. Materials wise, i think justin has a leg up on loakes. And no, justin normally doesnt hold sales. Just this annual end of year sale to clear stock and bring in his 2016 collection.

Carmina states the width of their lasts on their website. Justin uses UK 'E' width for his current lasts. Length wise they are roughly similar (both say they follow standard length) No comments if you want to compare insteps and such.

Sorry, but JFP is Meermin-level; a little better than Meermin at best. Quality doesn't come close to Carmina.

 

[urbanturban]

My suspicion is that JFP shoes are made by Yanko.

I thought they would be an intermediate step between meermin and carmina. You don't see as many complaints about JFP as one does for meermin.

 

[urbanturban]

JFP shoes are closed channel. And the QC is better. It feels a little more comfortable as well.

Yes

No. Quality of materials used, leaves little to be desired. JFP comes across as pair of meermins with better QC and sleeker, more wearable lasts. But if there's something that really catches your eye, at $260, I'd say go for it.
