Who is keeping track of the participants?

I have invited the legendary Boy Boy to grace the event and share his expertise on buying shoes.

He will be available mid dec. I propose friday 13 after 8pm or sat 14 5pm onwards.

I will demostrate the emergency shine to touch up your shoes in the event some inconsiderate douche steps onto your toes.

Do take some awesome pictures!

I have a pair of size 40s from Ed and using the same shoe tree that you are looking at. A small fits alright for me.

Just for your reference.

This shoe and its maker are quite popular with other forums(styleforum/thekerbau) however, he bought me the wrong colour, so my loss is your gain.

For sale @ S$299.
Pm me or send an SMS @ 90052892.
Collection points can be from Orchard/Raffles Place/Jurong East/Lavender Mrt.

For the pictures of the shoe please refer to the websites below.

I got my shoetrees here. One for 24 euro. Free shipping. I emailed them about whether the VAT can be deducted and they say cannot but the next day they sent me a code for 10 euro discount.

Long time no post.

Just found out from Petia that Septieme Largeur (arguably Berluti's rival) has landed on Singapore's sunny shores. Largeur is well known for their patinated shoes and are probably significantly less than Berluti's patinated shoes which go for upwards of 2500 SGD. I'm surprised that the French brand decided to plant themselves here.

From my understanding, shoes are Made in France -- If prices online are anything to go by. They should be around mid 3 to 4.

It seems you can't select Singapore for account address.

So, before my shoes arrive, I'm thinking of purchasing a shoe care kit for them. Am thinking of purchasing the following items from afinepairofshoes.

1) Shoe trees
2) Saphir products - What should I get? I have a pair of black and a pair of cognac shoes.
3) Brushes - Any recommendations?
4) Anything else that I'm missing?

Also, what should I do when I get my shoes for the first time?

Appreciate the kind advice!

Do you polish to high shine? You need reno > cream > wax

If not reno > creme is good enough for maintenance.

Two horsehair brush one black one brown (wax on/off or black/other shoes)

If you dont use fingers or cloth to apply you need a dauber brush for each color cream.

One polishing cloth

Elbow grease


First time, brush away dust, apply reno or cream a couple of layers and let the leather absorb overnight before polishing.

 

[i_got_a_question_to_ask]

Still have reno to let go at 25 sgd

I kopped the suede oxfords.

And just saw this pair of goodyear welted French-made Norwegian leather shoes going for, like what, 180 SGD.

Already have a pair of Norwegians by Alden so not getting.







My Aldens look exactly like in the picture below.
