Saphir Reno, wax & cream

Somehow my friend managed to find a cheaper way to ship (by a different courier), but i am still not too sure how long it it will. Yup the products are cheaper in France, and unless you are going to make orders for big quantities there is not much we can save on shipping cost or unless you be a wholesaler for Saphir products i gues.

Renovateur@ 25
Creme@ 20
Wax@16

there is still a minimum order of 10 per product. For those who don't want to save a couple of bucks or wait for shipping, then i guess this is not for you. I am merely doing this so that we can all split the shipping cost and get the colours of the creme and wax we want. This will be a good time to try out mixing waxes and cremes etc. I dont think you will be able to find it any cheaper then this, not that i have seen any over the net so far. For those interested do drop me a PM. See the colours you can get from my earlier post.Thanks.

hi guys, anyone know where can i get Florsheim? im looking at this particular model called the Veblen. thanks!

I picked up 2 pairs of these some time back. Some items to bear in mind:

- They run large. You'll need to buy half or even one full size smaller than usual.
- Leather quality might vary depending on color. The brandy colored one I got is nice full grain, but the navy one seems to be corrected grain.

Check out MyHabit and Gilt. They tend to have the Veblen on sale every now and then.

What size do you wear in other shoes? And do you normally feel that shoes are narrow/tight?

You should take one width up from the measured E size

This will be my first pair of formal leather shoes. Nothing to take reference from :o I'm between D to E on the chart so should I still up one width size?

Park Avenue's last is funky. Better to get E width if you have wide feet. I'm normally a 10D, had to go with 9.5E in Park Avenues.

Also, should be wearing dress socks with dress shoes. Which means the socks will be of a thinner, finer material.

I'll go with E width then. Does the park avenue run half a size bigger for the length?

Flame is right. Check out Viccel for socks. I wear OTC socks that stay up the whole day.

On another note, just saw this today, and am pretty impressed.

Edwin has definitely up-ed the game for his RTW shoes. Pretty neat if you ask me.

Pitched heels, patinated leather, tight fiddleback etc. Hopefully, the leather quality is better too.

That's why they say that a market economy is one where consumers stand to benefit.

There are more details, diamond edge finishing and leather is from Annonay (famed tannery that is owned by Hermes). Prices is approximately US$400 based on what I have heard.
