You can of course re-sole at Northampton factory in the UK. I think there must be some options for re-soling in Singapore too. My shoes are not worn enough to require re-soling at this point.

I'm not so sure about local options at all. But I'll be glad to be proven wrong. It's not the regular street cobbler than can manage Goodyear welting and there is always the issue of getting the correctly shaped lasts to do the resoling.

I fully agree. Any re-soling in Singapore is not going to be as satisfactory as the factory.

Wax/polish will help to a certain extend. Rotating shoes. Actually that pair also got quite a few creases, only not very deep. Must be the way i walk.

This thread within a few posts so many of your same "recommendation", people can obviously see.

A good shoe tree will help to a great extent. Another 2 factors are the design of the shoes and quality/type of the leather. These are not within your control. Wholecuts tend to show a lot more creases.

Well all the thread are asking for recommendation? When you recommend something, you are advertising even if it's not for yourself, isn't it? The websites I'm recommending have bags jeans shirts pants, so I don't see anything wrong to recommend them in different thread asking for different recommendation.

Chill bro. Anyone will be smart enough to see that this recommendations cannot be taken seriously due to vested interest. Kinda like a conflict of interest. Of course someone also selling the said products will not go around saying the shoes are glued together, made of fake(?) leather that looks more like plastic etc etc

Well, I do not know how the "smart enough" comes about.. anyway the websites I'm advertising are pretty well known in south Korea for your information. Of course those who do not have much information about the websites or the country might say such things, but until you tried them.. please do not go around accusing them. Thank you very much.

they are hideous looking, so there you go.

Ok do tell me. What type of welts/stitching do these shoes use? what type of leather ? From what i see on the website, it seem to be corrected grain?

Since you are selling them, i take it you tried their products ? come tell us from your experience.

BTW Koreans are also well-known for wearing shiny polyster suits. The younger koreans like to wear them very tight and short, the older generations of koreans like to wear them huge and oversized.

Ideally, a lasted shoe tree (a shoe tree shaped to match the shoe itself) should be used. However not all of us are that rich to do so and use generic shoe trees.

Your shoe tree should fill up the toe box.

think yours are too pointy if the tree can even stretches the front.
the front isn't meant to be fill, i believe even if you push your feet as far forward as you can, your toes cannot touch the tip... i might be wrong though

 

[tofuguy]

Then EMBRACE the creases.
