Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 3

[Rong626]

After short negotiation, they offered 35% cash refund

I left a 1 star review on Google and they replied:

We sincerely apologize for not meeting your expectations with our product and for any inconvenience this may have caused. Although we believed the matter had been resolved through our WhatsApp conversation, receiving your feedback on Google Reviews indicates that you may still have some concerns.



Regarding the issue you pointed out, the upper design of our product utilizes a traditional technique called “moc stitching.” This design involves stitching both sides of the moc section and securing the central part with gluing, creating its distinctive appearance. Due to the nature of this design, changes in humidity or the application of strong force may cause some parts to detach. This is not a defect of the product but a characteristic of the design.

We are continually striving to improve the durability of the moc section to prevent such issues. However, due to various environmental and situational factors, it may still be susceptible to these influences. The possibility of moc stitching detachment is not unique to our brand; similar designs from other brands may also experience the same issue. We believe that consulting not only our opinion but also seeking insights from leather shoe shops and shoe cobblers will provide a deeper understanding of this matter.



Regarding the partial refund, it was offered as an apology for the inconvenience and disappointment you experienced. We are committed to enhancing our services to ensure our customers’ satisfaction, and we kindly ask for your kind understanding.

Hi guys, understand this thread is more for work shoes but it seemed to be the most relevant thread to post in.

Have been in the market for a pair of beefroll/casual loafers for quite a long time. Was looking to get a pair i could wear with dark jeans or lighter chinos but the ones I've seen in local stores always seemed too dressy or weren't really to my taste.

Would y'all recommend ordering directly from carmina or getting yanko MTO from seamless bespoke? Also open to hearing any other suggestions, thank you!

Casual loafers with dark jeans / light chinos ?
Have you look at Clark's or Cole Haans ?

Normally my friends with your look tend to wear those branded shoes like Tod's / Brunello Cucinelli / Gucci / Bally / Ferragamo

Take a look at Tod's, the design is nice, maybe got sale.
Then again, it's good to fork out more for a nice pair of shoes.

Recently I went to a garage sale. This expat moving home. Got a Girling & Gaziano shoe for 150SGD. New unused. He told me he gotten it from the sample sale.

I think I mentioned it before a few post befor

But well, sometimes it's good to have a look at those expats going back sale.

How's CNES? It felt more comfy than Jalan Sriwijaya and I prefered the look of the CNES ones. Any other recommendations?
