the domanchi outlet at vivocity is having abt 50% off sale on some of their shoes...dun like their design, feel not worth the price for the quality....

Think Robinson Centrepoint is the only place in sg selling loake...their range is quite limited...

have seen some good reviews on the grenson rose collection.

was thinking about this collection as well but grenson was over my budget :s13:

pull the trigger on the below instead... :)

Is that from the Loakes 1880 collection? Do you polish your loakes?

Having wasted $$ over the years buying hush puppies, Sketchers, Bonia, Kickers..etc shoes, none of which lasted more than 1 year even with shoe rotation, i'm looking to buy higher end English made shoes. So far only my J&M aristocrat has lasted the test of time.

Am now looking at either the Gransen Rose, ALfred Sargent Premier or Trickers Jeremy Street shoes to pair the shoe with my J&M. Sizing is a issue as none of the shoes are represented in Singapore.

Anyone else feels that leather soles on most english shoes to be too slippery? Been thinking of adding a vibram sole to some of my shoes but i'm afraid they'll look worse.

I always add a rubber sole to mine to improve the "anti-slip" properties of the shoes. It will not affect the looks.

My first pair of england-made shoes :)

Although it's not from the top-end brands but find the quality is very good, nice smell of leather :D
