Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 3

Suede tassels - I personally think Carmina and C&J do the best expression of this style. However, you may wish to try Skoak’s new house brand Lof & Tung which looks decent and is quite attractively priced.

Double monks - I was delighted with the pair I picked up in dark oak from the Meccariello Aeris line via Yeossal (not sure if still available on sale?). I think your best bet at this range might be Skolyx/Yanko.

I might get to C&J later in my journey. Considering alden color 8 cordovan as well. But pocket must be deep deep haha. Also i dont think there’s anyone carrying the former here.

There’s still the particular model on sale but i think uk8. Haha too big for me.

Best bet for Alden in Singapore would be Colony Clothing. If you are headed out to HK, Tassels carries Alden.

Actually skolyx came up to just about 335 even with shipping. Was quite surprised why it was so much cheaper than SB. Maybe old stocks but i dont think SB carries the choco suede loafers i want.

Oh man okay will avoid. Was willing to take the gamble but their QC seems to be quite sporadic.

yanko loafers Last 955 - should i get the same size as carmina rain oxford?

For $400 you cannot go wrong with AM Aeris currently on sale from yeossal.

I have purchased from an AM Aeris recently and I must say it is quite a pain to break in. Does the break in usually take long as I have worn it about 10 times or so.

Was it too snug to begin with? Did you try half size bigger?

So far 3 of my AM requires zero break-in which is has slightly more room except for the lazy man which is a perfect fit.

Yup I did which was too big for me. Hmm strange...

Maybe the last or make simply is not suitable.. it happens. Sometimes I still do not know for sure what is my exact size for makes I do not own

Not Aeris but I did find that AM's calf leather shoes take a longer time to break in

SB has a rack of laces but when I saw the various length available, scratched my head and pass..

SB.. I have 4 of their laces so far nothing break yet especially when I'm so aggressive in tieing.

Got different length, and flat laces and tons of colors.

5 eyelet shoe is their standard length. Or just ask Josh, he helped me throughout.

I’m quite a fan of Pedro, although I do buy other brands that’s slightly pricier. Comfy and durable.

I have a pair of Earnest & Collective lace up I bought on sale for $89 that's alright. It's my cheap go to shoes whenever the the weather is wet.

for yanko loafers (955 last), should i keep to my usual oxfords size (carmina rain & loake capital)?

 

[EverDrunk]

DR Martens probably. Once broken in, super comfy.

I have a 915 loafer, half size down from regular last

i have wide feet....still recommended to size down by 0.5?

 

[wiz]

Mine is wide as well but will recommend to try in store..

I have another suede Oxford 915 on the same size as well. So I will think Yanko sizes are “smaller”
