Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 2

[likehotbutter]

This will, most likely, be a standalone trunk show.

Thanks everyone for your input so far. It has been duly noted.
Keep it coming.

BTW should it happen, will it be in the upcoming months? Could determine shoe purchase plans hahahaha

btw the 2 row goyser enzo navy chukka is delicious. can share how much roughly it was?

And where do you get your laces from?

I am not sure about the exact time frame, but once I have more information I'll post on the thread.
Things are still very preliminary.

That pair was roughly 800 ish. Iirc. The laces came from enzo.
You just need to specify "braided laces".

Be interested in the enzo custom last option available only at the Factory or Trunkshow according to Patrik and St C sizing if it happens.

Hey there, with regards to the enzo custom last, that's a really good idea. I'll note that down.

Enzo custom last sounds interesting and certainly presents a good proposition for doing a trunk show. Any idea how much more upcharge is involved?

I suspect St C may be grey territory left untouched as they already have a local presence via LeongT

Reckon so considering last time Carr of Crispins came with them,

Probably same with the Spanish C, but at least Skoak isnt carrying the new Buger last yet so its not so bad

is it feasible to combine with the Vass SG guys?

You dont need a trunk show to try on Vass if you're using the local SG guys. Just contact danny

Not just size, you need to consider the last and foot profile. Ron to me is abit blockish, so will suit feet with blockish profile and a fat heel. My ball tapers down to a small heel.

Im 6.5 hiro and went to 6 for the ron. Vamp was good and snug across the ball but heel cup was too big for my heel

Going down to 5.5 would be too tight across the vamp.

Hi so what was your solution? Put some sort heel suede piece at the heel to make it more snug or simply go for other loafer?
Asking because i got the loake suede loafer and i did manged to try uk6 in leather but just simply too tight although i can fit my feet in. So i went to order uk6.5 and it was a bit of heel slip which is fine for me. Prob is the low cut sock keep coming off due to the heel slip. So should i order uk6 and hopefully it expand or swtich to other loafer?

Yes. SkoaB probably won't be bringing StC down in view of existing local presence with leongT.
I'll have to ask about the up charge in the setting of a trunk show.

Shoe Maintenance and Care

Hi all,

Need to seek some kind advise from the brothers here. I have recently purchased a pair of Loake shoes while I was in London and would like to know what are the polishing cream / wax that I can buy in Singapore to maintain and care for the shoes.

I have purchased shoe trees from taobao and I'm looking to buy Saphir polishing but I realized that there are so many different types available.

Hence I'm wondering what are the ones which I should be getting? I have bought a can of wax from Loake as well.

Thanks for your kind advise in advance!

Here's what I use.
Horsehair brush (one for each color)
Saphir Renovateur
Saphir Shoe creams (mid brown prob be your first color)
Saphir wax (if you wish to give a mirror shine, optional)
Burgol Piz (optional for wet weather shoes)

Hi thundermarch,

Thanks for th response. Any recommendation on where to get the brush? Also my shoes is black in color and if using the mid brown shoe cream, will this affect the color of the shoes?

Solution was to sell it at a loss. Took it as tuition lesson lol.

Tried tongue pads (from ebay). The pads made it uncomfy as balls since the problem wasnt the vamp but the big heel cup.

Then scholl heel pads but they didnt do much reduction.

 

[Irvvvv]

anyone know any cobbler that can do a permanent leather/anti slip patch at the back of the ankle to prevent heel slip?

thanks!

I'll be honest. I got my horse hair brushes from hush puppies. Haven't had any problems with em. Numerous shoe retailers online sell Saphir brushes. If you want.

For black shoes, you should generally use black or if you want, navy cream.

Went down to Tangs yesterday

They are out of Saphir Renovateur MDO. For the MDO creams, they only have it in neutral, burgundy, hermes, navy and green

Ended up getting the BDC reno and BDC black cream
