I dont think polishing can take out scratches, but only to cover it with an artificial coat which doesnt allow for air permeability for leather

You don't cake on the wax. There's nothing wrong with a bit of wax to cover up scuffs, scratches and imperfections. The wax also helps with a protective layer on the leather itself.

Or do you want to wear these on all your precious leather shoes everywhere you go.

Yes, the first ding hurts, but accept it and move on. Practice your acceptance of imperfection, Wabi-Sabi.

That's right! It is also the reason why I always give my new shoes a great shine upon receiving them so when they get stepped on or scratched, it usually just scraps off the wax.

A little bit of buffing and voila! Scratch gone!


Anyway, a little bit of scratches here and there shows character much like jeans with their fading theory.

this only applies to boots like red wings.

on dress shoes, just dump it. the character dun look nice at all with all those scuffs/marks on your pretty shoes.

i have no complains about dress shoes but i find its overkill to wear for office work. its more appropriate for functions, events etc.

I can tell you have little to no experience with dress shoes.

Here is an example of a well worn, well taken care of pair of shoes which is pretty damn old.

Singapore as a country and culture lived majority of their generations without exposure to formal wear or chance to dawn on formal wear so it is expected that many people are not receptive to dress shoes or dressing at all.

Dress shoes however, are the norm everywhere else and if you wear a pair of boots to interview for a firm overseas or even to work....

That pair looks absolutely delicious. The leather, craftmanship.. everything. What's it?

Edit: Ok found, Edward Greens.

You obviously don't work in a white shoe industry.

looks ugly. :s22: unlike boots, this will make ppl think, u got no money to buy new one? i dun think it looks good to even for job interviews!

unless u wearing suits/blazer to work. its overkill to wear dress shoes.

if u are just wearing shirt with ties and pants, nah, u are just a wannabe.

:s13:

and FYI. i work in raffles place. i seen so much shoes walking me ard everyday, i only see such dress shoes worn by those men in suites.

So if people don't wear dress shoes, then what are they wearing?

Sneakers with their shirt and pants?
Red Wings? (like you?)

I have rarely seen people wearing chukka boots to work. Most common I've seen are chelsea or brogue boots, and even then its the exception.
The most common shoe seen at Raffles Place is the Black Square-Toed Leather shoe.

Besides, are you hear to troll or provide feedback?

If someone has to wear a shirt and tie to work, what else can they wear besides dress shoes?

Um, what? Dress shoes means meeting C level ppl? Before we go any further, do you really know what dress shoes are?

Most of the guys in Raffles Place aren't wearing sneakers/trainers/boots/sandals/slippers to work. What do those black leathery looking things on their feet look like to you?

Pray tell what shoes one should wear with shirt and tie?

He is totally serious in justifying his attempt to fit red wings in office attire.
Lol.
