Quite curious too. And quite interested in the Scott in Utah calf

 

[wiz]

Haha that is the same pair I am eyeing as well.

Nice. Wait for Black Friday and share shipping? Lol

Sounds like a good idea, I recall we are on similar sizes UK6 or 6.5

Yup. I'm a UK6.5 for most lasts. Half size down for EB 804 and half size up for AM

Can visit Seamless Bespoke (SB), Yeossal (YS) and The Quarters (TQ). Each of them offers different brands at various price points. For your budget, you'll likely be looking at Yanko (SB), TLB Mallorca (YS) and Carlos Santos (TQ).

Oriental (SB), Corno Blu (YS) and Antonio Meccariello (YS) might be possible too for those models that are on sale.

Hi does Yeossal have a physical shop?

He has a showroom and I believe a physical store is coming soon in town

I'll be going go hcm in December. Was wondering if anyone knows of any shoe maker or brands from Vietnam that are worth looking at?

Had a look even with 10% it should qualify for free shipping

Oh ya. I think SkoakB now offers free shipping to SG. Haven't gotten anything from them for a long while.

Same here - been a while. Do people still get hit by GST from Skoak?

No idea my last pair is about 2 years old.

Isn't GST dependent on the declared price of your item? I would think any item above S$400 will get hit.

 

[nkapped]

It’s quite variable actually - maybe it depends on how clearly the value has been declared because I’ve not always had this charged with goods purchased from overseas. It can add a fair amount extra to the cost, especially when DHL or other carriers slap on an advance payment charge as well. Can easily end up paying $50 more.

I avoided GST from a purchase from Skoak earlier this year. They billed my credit card around $430 so it could be a case of Singapore customs using a better rate for the fx conversion.

I could just be lucky though. I also bought something around the same price range this year from the Sabot that was charged GST.

Hi all, currently a uni student starting my internship soon. What's the best 1st pair of working shoe I should get? Best as in most versatile. Should I get black or brown? Also I'm looking to get a pair from Arden teal, are they worth it or should i just get from the typical pedro/aldo
