Hard to compare. Even between vibram, continental and topy there are different ranges for different needs. Pick the one that is useful for you.How's Vibram vs Continental TOPYS?
How's Vibram vs Continental TOPYS?
Just a minor detail but topy is as brand just as much as vibram.I would just go for the cheaper one assuming if there are just 2 choices.
Both are 'branded' soles used in topy and quite frankly, these are for dress shoes and not for sports purpose and the sole marking/design shouldn't make much, if any, difference.
Where’s the best place to get your GYW shoes resoled? Ed Et Al have stopped doing work for other brands as of June.
When I reached out to Seamless Bespoke, they recommended Steve Autokey and Shoe Repair - anyone have any experience with them?
There's also one good one in Capitol Theatre - Carmina.![]()
Maybe the GST was included in the cost you paid - quite common these days

Doesn't seem so, total price was literally list price -20% (their VAT) + GBP25 for shipping. GST would've been like GBP30 at least.
Then again, I'm not complaining.
Do they accept shoes bought outside their store? I've bought carmina online before, it'd be nice if I can resole them locally in the future.
Don’t be too happy. A week later u might receive the GST bill + $20 admin fee.Got my Sydney from Bodileys. Out of the box, not polished yet.
Was quite surprised I didn't have to pay GST, the DHL guy was confused when I asked about it, for whatever reason.

Good price for a pair of handsome shoes
Haha that might be the case. But I bought them under the assumption that I'd pay for the GST in the first place, so no biggie.
Thanks. Yeah I really like the shape of the last, probably my favourite penny loafers thus far, or at least until I get to the John Lobb or Edward Green level.
