Yeah my laces also look quite worn out. I plan to get from ebay when needed. Have seen suitable 150cm waxed dress laces for $5-6 before.

ok, at least I feel better knowing its not me alone... :p
ask u ah. What type of laces should I look out for to match with mounbatten? I am thinking if Red Wing laces will be more hardy or not...

The laces at edetal are not great. Cost $10 a pair but there are cheaper ones elsewhere.


There is someone selling in here a while ago.


Dear bros,

I have a weakness for shoes. Recently, I have tried to spice up my shoes with stylish colourful shoe laces. I have bought some from the internet. As they have minimal order to qualify for international shipping, I have quite a few pairs left. Would like to offer to bros who would like to spice up their shoes a liitle.

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.

$7 per pair, $20 for 3 pairs, $30 for 5 pairs. Meet at Outram MRT (office hours) or internet transfer and I will send the item to you. Free postage Singapore only.

SMS or whatsapp me at nine745087eight. Alvin

Looking at meermins.. but ordering online is always a risk.

Anyone here coincidentally wears a ed size 37 double monks? (i have shorter than average, borderline wide feet. Custom order waiting time was a bitch)

Wondering what this will translate to in meermin sizing - UK 5.5 perhaps?

Anyone know the difference between meermin's 'olfe' and 'hiro' lasts?

Thanks for any helpful pointers.

For wide feet, think hv to go with hiro. Other meermin lasts mostly quite sleek. U can see an earlier post from ytd w pics comparing hiro vs capital last fr loake. Personally pref capital

Tried on a pair of Loake's 1880 wingtip at Robinsons today in size UK7F and UK8F. UK8F is very loose for me and UK7F is slightly tight. Wanted to try UK7.5F but Robinsons doesn't have them in half sizes.

So the question is which size should I go for on a Meermin Olfe last. Was thinking a UK7.5 but I'm afraid it'll be loose for me. Now I'm undecided between a UK7 and UK7.5.

can black leather shoes have slow patina built up?

Why not? The vamp creases and parts you don't wax and the part you do will age differently depending on how you care for them.

There is a difference between using dyes to enhance the patina effect and painting a new finishing layer that looks like patina effect.

If only works if your army boots are full grain leather. Otherwise Pledge is also useful to give the Armg pvc boots and patent shoes a quick shine.

Can't appreciate haha, guess it's different strokes for different folks :D

Which last was the loake u tried based on? The loake capital last n meermin hiro last are quite similar. Olfe last more narrow. See the last few pgs discussion
