Working Shoe for Young Exec

Haha.. i see. contemplating whether to opt for express or free delivery from robinsonshoes.

hand itchy felt like buying 2 pairs of shoes..

2 pairs will definitely hit more than 400 sgd. To get free shipping, the best combination is actually one pair of shoes and maybe a shoe tree.

There's a Church boutique in ION? Hmm, maybe i should go check it out. But when i saw Church in France, i didn't really like the selection. Definitely classy, but i think it's too old school. But still, good to see!

Anyway, the new Robinson's at Orchard do carry Loakes, but their selection is quite small. I got my Loake's from PLAL in KL. Good selection (of other more expensive shoes too), and at a very good price!

Would love to see some C&J somewhere.

Anyhow, anyone tried EdEtAl? The reviews online seemed really good, but it's kinda pricey.

While we're on the subject of repatination. Florsheim LWBs from orange-tan to an oxblood brown.

Before:

I like your socks. Mind sharing where they are from?

Rejuvenator plus neutral polish cream?

[evilnickwong]

Not sure what you mean? I typically wear a UK9.5. These longwings run big, they're actually only a US10 and are still a little loose around the heel.

Can get real horn ones from 55 or the one at ann siang selling atelier llyr i think? For me daiso good enough.

For me about 2,3 mths once. Rotate my shoes about 1 wear a week

 

[PetiaC]

Beta Tester: I clarify with John of Mason and Smith. He says bring to MBS or Kevin Seah also same price 30/50.

Apologies I had the wrong impression earlier.

Ed et al also charges 30/50 for similar services.

Ikea, daiso, tangs, all work fine for me. Longer better, no need to bend down too much when wearing shoes.

I carry a portable one to wear my shoes as I have to remove them to fetch kid from classes.

 

[urbanturban]

Has anyone bought or tried Araldi shoes?

Any idea how much each costs? Saw a nicely patina-ed navy brogue.

I also like buckingham the best. Can't hoot 2 pairs otherwise can save on shipping.

 

[evilnickwong]

Isn't robinsons offering free shipping anyway? No reason to get 2 pairs in one order then since it will also get hit by 7% upon entering Singapore.

With VAT refund and discount. You won't hit 150 pounds.

I tried with a 208gbp pair. The free shipping doesn't seem to take into account the discount (meaning it still applies since pre-discount is 174gbp), so the final total was 139gbp.

Weird. Maybe I tried with a cheaper shoe that's why.
