shoe laces

Dear bros,

I have a weakness for shoes. Recently, I have tried to spice up my shoes with stylish colourful shoe laces. I have bought some from the internet. As they have minimal order to qualify for international shipping, I have quite a few pairs left. Would like to offer to bros who would like to spice up their shoes a liitle.

Have a few pairs in the following colours:

red
pink
light blue
navy blue
yellow
violet
orange
turquoise

Diameter about 2.5mm
Length : 75cm. Suitable for 3-4 eyelets.
Spice up your boring shoes with these colourful laces. Gives a totally new look for your existing shoes. Stand out from the rest.

$7 per pair, $20 for 3 pairs, $30 for 5 pairs. Meet at Outram MRT (office hours) or internet transfer and I will send the item to you. Free postage Singapore only.

SMS or whatsapp me at nine745087eight. Alvin

Dry? Somehow my feet isn't too dry.
With doc mar boots or my timberland boots also like that considering temps here for me is -7C. Lol
Diff feet diff strokes. Lol
Wool socks still like that.

Then again if sit on desk not walking maybe dry.
But walking around always not too dry.

Wool socks wick the sweat away. Full grain leather will absorb away from the socks.

If you need more breathable try suede boots

I'm confused.

The loake at Herring shoes got size UK7.5, but at Robinson in Orchard, don't have UK0.5 size, only have UK7, UK8 etc...

I went to the new robinson at hereen. There are some display of Loake shoe. Tried the 1880 series and the width F is too big for my feet. Ask them if they have size in 0.5 difference, they say no.

So i guess Loake in SG is quite limited in size of model and size...

Not a guru, just a humble shoeshine uncle.

The best thing to treat patent leather is .... Nothing. Anything u do to it is likely to end up with more scratches.

If dirty use a damp soft cloth such as chamois or microfiber cloth to wipe gently.

Small scratches can be buff away with a little bit of mineral oil or petroluem jelly (vaseline or baby oil)

Since patent leather is worn once in a blue moon, i use baby oil to coat the upper with a thin layer to prevent the plastic from being sticky. Wipe away the oil when need to wear the shoes.

When storing the shoes never let them touch each other! Or else may scratch or worse plastic stick to each other.

For your budget, probably Pedro, during their sale.

Some of the other brands in Taka and Tangs like Passporte should also be around that price during sales period.
