robinson by far i think is the best option for getting the cheapest loake 1880, that is if you can wait for their promotion code once in a while. i think i have waited 3-6 months before promo code appear. The saving is quite substantial if you can wait.

If not can opt for All in a Day bro advice and try pediwear price matching strategy. I remember member discount of 10-15% applied for subsequent purchase. Some bros here have purchased from pediwear before and they should have the member discount. No harm asking around.....


What's a robinsons code?

Hi guys.. any one can make a comparison between loakes 1880 and edetal rtw ?

Was looking at the loake 1880 aldwych, and comparing it with edetal's cityhall model.

Personally i felt that edetal's leather quality doesn't felt as supple as i thought it shall be, for their $300 rtw..

I've been using plastic shoe taps on the toe and heel of my shoes. These aren't flush, but honestly I don't notice them when walking. Purchase from ebay and install on your own.

loake strand? how is the sizing? i chatted with the peeps from herrings and they mentioned the last was slightly wider, and advised to go half a size down.

Code for herrings: CHTree for free shoe tree

Cheers

Can't really tell you whether you should size down because they fit me rather true to size. But I do have slightly wide and flat feet.

£208 drop to
£174.13 ex VAT
£139.31 20% off

Can Pediwear price match after discounts?


Assuming you opt for the free delivery, it would only cost $270.

Was comparing between the pros and cons from the rtw from edetal.

Hopefully the offer is still valid this weekend for me to sleep over it.

I never had much luck changing color with creams. I stripped these shoes of the original finish and redyed using Fiebings leather dye.

Socks from Uniqlo. :p
