That is very affordable. I should fold up my business, and bring my own shoes over to MBS to shine.

Anyone tried pls post pictures and reviews.

I am looking at their natural leather cream but no one seem to carry it. Maybe a cheaper alternative to saphir reno

I found an alternative to Saphir Reno. Cheaper or not see the shipping will kill or not first.

32oz tin for $33 USD. I think this tin can share into at least 4 portions of 8 oz each. Very cheap if can topang the order into a freight forwarder. If not, just shipping one tin alone will up the cost to double so is like same price with reno.

The issue is the tin look like some flammable petroleum product dunno can go up airfreight or not.

The smaller bottle look more harmless

New to this. Just want to share a short review of the llyr dm bought during their launch.

Had to attend an event this evening, so a perfect excuse to put on my dm for this event. First inital impression is that my instep abit tight. Other than that every other parts of feet feel nice and comfortable. Also to note that since this is the first time i am wearing leather sole, boy it feel so slippery. Has to hold on to the hinge when climbing down the staircase.

After coming home, my left hind feet feel a bit sore cause my left feet is abit smaller than my right. Hence the rubbing of the feet against the inner lining. Wipe away the dirt from the sole before taking my shots.

The crease of the vamp forming....

Buckle strap creasing

shoe nail at heel

After putting in my cheapo shoe tree

Thoughts

As this is the first time getting a GY welt leather shoe, the quality and design of the shoe is very good in my opinion. Considering the value vs quality, it is definitely very good value for money. Used to own Aldo, Dobermain and Pedro but nothing felt like wearing GY leather shoe. Only complain will be the sore at the left feet but guess this always happen to me for getting RTW shoe. Hopefully it will snug well after couple of wears. Then topy it as ShoeshineUncle suggested plus polishing......

Proud to own a local brand quality leather shoe. Next up meermin oxford and loafer. Cheers!

Hope you gave your shoes some nourishing before you wear it. Helps to keep the leather supple, the creasing part will need more conditioning.
