Working Shoe for Young Exec - Part 3

[LeGozt]

yr 1st pair of oxfords? If not do u hv similar prob for other oxfords or this maker’s last is exceptionally generous at the instep?

Not my first pair of oxfords, but my first pair of MTO oxfords. I think Tahura's last is fairly normal as I have had other shoes made by them before, but they were open laced hence I didn't realise I have a lower than normal instep haha.

Hence my Q

Hence my Q

Yeah, quite bummed out to be honest, cos I waited 4 months to receive the shoes fortunately my other shoe in the same order turned out perfect! It's a burgundy shinki horsebutt boot.

Got a custom black pebble grain oxford with broguing made by Tahura from Indonesia, but when I received it I realised that I have a low instep hence the shoe doesn't fit snugly when I lace it up. Can't lace up further as it is a closed lace shoe. Unworn except to try only, less than 5minutes.

Is anyone interested to buy this off me? Would be happy to sell for cost price excluding shipping (S$260).

Hello, how much does it cost to do vibram resoling and gusset repair for a pair of chelsea boots? Can anyone recommend a cobbler and share the going rate? Thanks!

G&G is better or Stefano Bemer? I am going Italy and thinking of buying an Italian shoemaker

G&G is not Italian

 

[EquinOoX]

Yes, I am saying I am going italy and thinking of getting Stefano Bemer.

i believe this is Blake stitched. Anyone has advice if it may still be fixed?

Looks easily fixable to me. Go to a cobbler or shoe repair shop near you and ask?

No experience with either brand, sorry. They each have a few different collections, though, so just make sure you do your research and know what you're getting for whatever you're paying

I'm interested in getting a pair of carmina loafers. Their price point is very suitable for me. Cant decide if suede or the smooth/shiny one is better

 

[Rong626]

Actually, I found a list on reddit. Any worth trying?

Good choice, maybe can also consider Enzo Bonafe?

For sin weather, suede quite hard to maintain

Depends on your purpose, regular smooth calf is probably a bit more suitable for the office, while suede looks better dressed down to my eyes

Seamless carries Yanko, goodyear welted shoes from Spain, 400+, should be a bit cheaper than Carmina at a similar quality

500+ if MTO, though

I hear this mentioned sometimes but have not found that to be the case

Hi guys, finally after 2-3 years my Aldo shoe is wearing off. I am on the hunt for a shoe replacement, i felt i like wing style brogues. Any budget recommendation on Goodyear Welted shoes.

I do travel to like Thailand and Indonesia occasionally, is it better to look for shoe maker there?
