Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 3

You need to use a dehumidifier like thirsty hippo to prevent mould from growing on the leather surface as well!

Noted, yup I put a thirsty hippo in my shoe closet.
Was more concerned about the leather cracking or drying up over time. How often do I need to check on it (and moisturise ?)
I guess if I don’t wear it, the coating can last longer?

I don't have a definitive answer and perhaps others may be in a better position to advise... But in my experience if you out a decent coat on and it should be good for a few months.

I think i gonna get a couple of pairs online from Gaius Walks. They have a sale now and full grain leather oxfords going for around 100 bucks. That's like the same price as some of the P U shoes from departmental stores. PU always peels off after less than a year

Can try CNES from Vietnam. Their blake stitched shoes are <$200, when on sale can be as cheap as ~$150.

Their boutique at Arab quarter (across from parkroyal hotel). Their staff not snobbish, can try out and ask for input/suggestions.

Fyi Ed et Al and other brands also made in VN. The most famous factory in VN is Fugashin.

And brown shoes can go with black pants, no problem. Ideally belt, watch strap (if leather) and shoe should match but even then its ok to mix as long as you wear confidently!

Elegant Oxford did a review recently on CNES.

Their Church's are going for a very good price, but only left big sizes. I think smallest they have now is UK 10.
