True that. :)

On shoe trees, are the premium shoe trees at herringshoes made from cedar wood? They look great, but the folks at herringshoes have told me via email that to be honest, the cedar trees do a better job. Not sure if that's really true or they are just trying to clear their cedar tree stock.

Hmm... I am thinking perhaps the unpolished cedar shoe trees have greater surface area to absorb moisture?

Yes, the cedar shoe trees have greater absorbency.
I have a pair, and they work great.

I'm interesting in getting a pair off herringshoes.co.uk.

But before committing to purchase online, anyone can advise on the shoe size? It is kind of confusing because different brands out there can have different sizes (i.e. not universal). Like I wear 9 on Aldo dress shoes but 7.5 on Tod's loafers.

Hope anyone can help on this.

Thanks!

You can try to go down to Robinsons or Taka to try and email them to ask.

Usually UK sizes are half size smaller than US. I wear a US size 8. So mine was a UK size 7.5

Do u guys find leather shoes cuttings are bigger? Example i wear sneakers size is 10 but can fit in size 9.5 or 9 for leather shoes.

I have bought 6 pairs of shoes so far from herringshoes and their customer service is unparalleled.

Despite some hiccups like being hit with GST and some "handling charge" by DHL when shoes arrived at my doorstep, having to return some pairs due to wrong size (pack the shoes myself at a Singpost branch) etc, I continue to buy.

Says alot about what I think about them. If only service is this good in Singapore.

What size you wear will depend on the last of the shoe in question. Shoe size numbers are an approximate gauge. Measurements on the brannock device are a better guideline for which size to pick, I imagine.

My sneakers, basketball and track shoes all size 12.

Currently wearing Clark's for work, size 9 lol, although a bit small, think 10 is perfect size for me.

What I've noticed is that for sneakers etc, the width is usually smaller than the same size in leather shoes. The length is fine, but we have to size up so we can get our feet in.

Is that US9 or UK9? Sizing down 2-3 sizes seems a bit extreme.
