Working Shoe for Young Exec

Might be a bit OT.. But timberlands are a personal favourite of mine. Waterproof and versatile. May be a little bit hot for SG weather though.

That is a fantastic collection!

Does anyone have before and after pics of the colours change in suede when using a suede protector spray?

Just received a pair of medium brown suedes... want to gauge the potential change in colour if i were to use a spray.

I have very little experience with suede, but i thought that they return to original colour once they are dry again.

Very soon you can achieved 50 Shades of Suede.

Managed to get a group shot of suedes!

Hi, can anyone recommend a shop in SG to buy my first pair of suede shoes? Looking for my first pair and don't want one that is too fancy or anything. Also I'm a student so maybe max $150?

Thanks

We are same camp... I made another blue at DW but not very satisfied. But today this one I really like it.

I notice many off the shelf shoes also start to sell blue shoes. Is that a trend now ?

I also bought a Ted Baker belt in London recently to match this shoes.

I also got a blue spec and I drive a blue car!!!!

All BLUE!!!!!

Anyone tried Timberland shoes before?
Any good/bad reviews?

Timberland shoes do not need to break in but I have bad experience with their soles. Both pairs got hole in the sole within 2 years and their sole tend to be slippery. Better to go with red wings.

My only experience with Tarrago is that the suede protector spray may slightly darken the suede but this is of no concern as it will return to its original colour state after a few wears.

Well i think you're in much better hands with Ed instead of Dw.
i don't think blue / navy shoes are a new trend actually ... it's always been a commonly used color for shoes.
goes perfect with grey

Anyone here facing the problem of interior flaking of PEDRO shoes like me?

Just gave some polish to my Grenson G1 Moorgate this morning.

Nice mirror shine.

Nice mirror shine.

There's still room for higher shine.

Noticed 1 shoe is tied tighter than the other?

But I am very satisfied by the quality of the leather.

Did you buy it from Mrporter during their sale? I'm surprise that Grenson is not as popular as Meermins or Garminas. Their G0 and G1 grade is pretty amazing if you can buy them on discount. And honestly, I think their G2 grade is one of the best entry level shoe if you can find them under the $300 range.

Crockett & Jones Suffolk at Barneys.com

USD$239 for C&J. Very temped but I have no use for a casual pair.

Yes, I did. Another pair is the G1 Chancery. both at 50% discount during sales.

The G2 are probably made in elsewhere, like India, instead of Northampton, England.

Depending on the colour of the interior, some will flake more than others. If you don't wear them regularly they may flake as well.
