Went to Edetal today thinking I will be able to fit in their smallest sz38 RTW. After a few wears, I am not convinced that 38 fits well. The nice young lady offered sz37 sample for me to try, and it fits sweetly. The only downside is I have to preorder which will take 6-8 weeks, so there goes my Xmas present... :(
Btw, I preorder the Nicol design. ;)


Btw, does anyone know what's the relationship between edetal and fiftyfive? My 2nd visit there, but...

Yup, I understand Renomat is more of a wax/oil stripper for cleaning purpose. I guess putting it as just reno might cause misunderstanding but I really meant Renovatuer and the poster in Styleforum was using Saphir renovatuer as well.

I think the consensus towards the end of the discussion was to use the Renovatuer sparingly (Patrick was using it every other week for his shoes that cracked) and perhaps use some other conditioner/cream polish together with it.

I'm sick of seeing my leather shoes getting splashed with the rain and am waiting for the arrival of mine but interested in seeing if anyone actually uses it frequently.

Last time u looking for toe tap u found already?

Anyone know where could I buy the black paint look alike to paint the lining perimeter of the shoe, so it would look new? Heard from some brothers they use paintbrush from the kids. Any idea guys?

Cannot find proper cobbler to do ah?

Yah... apparently profit margin not that high so almost all cobblers don't do it anymore... The ones who do, skill not so good :(

They are call edge dressings. I think Mustafa has some but only in black and brown Columbus brand if I'm not wrong, quite hard to find other colors, am interested in knowing as well

My Xmas present arrive!

Dear bros,

Have a few pairs in the following colours:

red
pink
light blue
navy blue
yellow
violet
orange
turquoise

Diameter about 2.5mm
Length : 75cm. Suitable for 3-4 eyelets.
Spice up your boring shoes with these colourful laces. Gives a totally new look for your existing shoes. Stand out from the rest.

Hi there,

Congrats on your latest purchase from Meermin. As I am contemplating to buy from them but still not confident about their sizing despite I have tried Loake 1880 at Heeren and also the replied gotten from Meermin. From your posting there are 2 different sizes for 2 different types of shoes on 2 shoe boxes. Care to share with me how to ascertain these sizes?

Thank you very much.
