my meermin monks were flawless, at least to the naked eye.

herrings on the other end, disappoints on diff pairs, excellent customer service tho.

I have been lucky so far with both Herring and Meermin.

I have 3 pairs of shoes, 2 belts and 1 bag from Herring. All of them are fine although they shipped the wrong bag to me. Excellent customer service though.

Good stuff are not cheap; cheap stuff are not good.

What about the SGD 1,850 Christian Louboutin oxford shoes?

Worth the hassle? Heard it can be done at Raffles Arcade? Anyone had any experience?

 

[darthsid11111]

If you ship back it will be done on an original last. Whether it's worth the hassle you'll have to weigh the pros and cons.

That's going into marketing theory realm of perceived value already.

For every one of us who thinks that CL are for sxckers, there is someone somewhere who thinks that the CL is well worth it's $

Ermm I don't think Loake will resole a pair of meermins?

Oh.. I was under the impression they could as darth said that. Other than Ed, anywhere else you can recommend as Ed is a bit ex at $180.

Actually Ed's price at $180 is fairly reasonable IMHO.

Cost of 2-way registered mail to/from your UK/Eur shoemaker will set you back more than $100 already and I am pretty sure the cost of re-soling by other brands will only be upwards of Meermin and Loake prices, which are considered entry level GY welt brands. In other words, resoling by your original UK/Eur shoemaker is almost certainly going to cost more than Ed. Of course at that higher price, you are getting the shoes re-soled on the original last which ought to make a (positive) difference.

The (high imho) cost of re-soling is one reason why I choose to be a 'pithy' (thanks urban for clarification on that term) and topy my shoes.

same... since my meermin only cost me ard less then $250... dun really make sense for me to resole... might as well get a new pair

since topy can extend the shoe life maybe by 1-2 or even more... why not

What shoes did you buy first? The quality and type of construction will go a long way in determining the level of products and care you should be lavishing on your shoe.

But for basics just kiwi and brush now and then. Just like in the army
