The boots were HKD$2,200. (most boots pricing)
The double monks are $1,700. (all normal dress shoes pricing)

There is the option to add Dainite soles as well for an additional HKD$100.

I'm quite happy with the result, and they were very accommodating to all the requests I had. (double leather sole for boots, extra padding etc.)

For anyone ordering, pls remember that GY welt is an optional, and will not be done unless specifically requested (adds 1 day to the turnaround).

Is it US 8? Too bad about the topy, would have bought it if you didn't put that on.

Too small shoes can stretch leather, too big shoes can insert insoles.

Try insoles?


Try insole already but being a loafer without lace, i got feeling of heel slippage...

It is US8.5/UK7.5. Am intending to sell it and get UK7 instead. UK7.5 is a little tad too big for me. I just put on the topy before my last wear :)


Can I know if you are a UK8 in Hiro last? Thanks!

It depends. If I am wearing with lace, I wear Hiro UK8. If i am getting loafer in hiro then i will go for UK7.5, if you get what i means.....
