[runforyourlife]

[xmysticalzx]

Just my opinion. I don't like bettle bug shoes. Insoles wear out in less than a year and I only wear it once a week. They are comfortable initially.

any recommendations for me??? tyia~~

probably classic line. Meermin is known to take a long time, but well, the price might make up for that.

I waited 7 months for this:

Production stage:



Completed:

1) It features faux laces and you wear this by slipping your feet in and out of the shoes. There's a disguised elastic gusset to help you with this. It's particularly relevant in the Asian market because there's a cultural norm of taking one's shoes off when one enters the home. This helps facilitate that process.

2) Modeled after the 200-year old Russian Reindeer leather that was dredged up from a ship that sank at sea.

The leather has a unique hatch-grain pattern to it, and has been developed to resemble the pre-Revolutionary Russian reindeer hide that dates back to 1786 that was dredged up from a ship-wreck off the coast of Plymouth Sound.

3) Patinated.

4) Red interior lining.

5) Double leather soles that taper, so they stand a bit more wear.

G & G. Notorious for taking a heck of a long time to deliver stuff. 30 days vs 210 for mine. Heh. My first pair of Girlings took equally long.

 

[josephkjc]

Well worth the wait. Stunning pair of G&G

Where got sell good quality horsehair brush and polishing cloth?

Cloth just use old t shirt, final touch up with nylon stockings. Horsehair brush can find at Mustafa or Tangs.

Classic line is not GY welted? I thought the only difference is that LM is handwelted.

It is GY-welted. And yes, the technically correct term is that it's hand-welted on the LM.

 

[runforyourlife]

I like that design. not available on classic so too bad..

Roger.

So how different are the 2 lines?

Shined with a very old tin of Starwax (when SAF was issuing Starwax instead of Kiwi, unfortunately switch back to Kiwi now) left a tiny bit of polish. Need to head up north to restock soon.

It is so easy to build up a shine with Starwax. One thin layer for the entire shoe and 2 build up layer on the toecap. Finish with breathe and nylon stocking.

One of the toecap got a bit of scratch so no matter how I shine will not be as nice as the other shoe.
