If it's 400 usd, that's a sig. increase from his existing range, which is what? 300 SGD? His MTO is about 400 usd so it'll be interesting if his RTW is priced similarly. In any case, can't wait for the 3rd which is when the shoes drop. They have a pair of boots that I'm eyeing.

Will be waiting for his latest collection to be fully unveiled before I decide whether I go with his RTW or custom grade.

Actually, check out Red Wing Gentleman Travelers. Amazing boots. Trashed the heck out of them on tarmac, sleet, ice, and concrete for many years, daily, and the soles are only half way worn. Uppers are perfect.

Thanks bro! but in terms of comfort is all e same? I own this quite cui purple shoe laces shoe, which i bought from taka.looks nice but not comfortable at all...

I know what you bought at Taka, Rad Russell, cos I also bought that brand with purple laces. Worst brand of shoes I bought.
Once you get these Goodyear welted leather shoes with leather lining you will never look back. It's very comfortable with the leather lining and no blisters for me, well worth the $ especially when these shoes can easily last much longer

For my first pair, Herrings, I went Robinson to try the sizes of Loake and Barker there to use as reference. Of course different lasts will fit differently but can use them as a reference when orderin online.
There is also Ed Etal

Goodyear is not a brand, it is a type of welting method to join the soles of the shoes.
I am not familiar with Hong Kong.

Ed etal is a local shop (Clarke Quay and Around Bukit Merah) selling Goodyear welted shoes. So you can head down to physcially try the shoes they have. The names like Merlion refers to the model of the shoes
