I'm not particular about the brand, as long as is comfy and doesn't cost a bomb i'm OK

Saw this at $149
7 Shoes Every Man Needs | Men's Health Singapore

Not sure if it's good, any recommendations?
How much do you guys typically allocated for a pair of shoes?:eek:

Using that pair u quoted fr MHS as benchmark, i would suggest u check out archules shoes. I must have suggested this for the 4th or 5th time on the thread to diff people..

have checked out their facebook and found out that they are located in Sin Ming.
It seems like they may not have a store...

from what I gather

shoes only limited sizes, online but they provide delivery
special days they do have an "openhouse"

In your opinion, how many people do you think notice your nice shoes? Can they tell the difference between a typical $100 shoe and the shoes you wear?

I think bros here can tell the difference on the road. We can spot the difference.

True, but the reason i even came here was the result of reading a book that recommends shoes brands like J&M, AE and others for their comfort, quality build and offering of service for shoe recrafting.

I came to these shoes because of the good reasoning of well spent money and good construction that makes sure no more soles break apart out of a sudden.

Looks like a local brand. Their biggest 'strength' to me is the classic designs that resemble something more expensive and that u seldom find at that price point. Somehow other shoes in that price range tend to be of tackier designs.

That is the main reason i point people to this brand when they are on a budget. However, to reiterate, i have no direct experience with these shoes nor seen them in the flesh. Just the website pics. And i dont think one should expect alot in terms of leather quality at that price point. (Construction is cemented soles).

U get what u pay for. While in this case it may seem like an incredible deal (it IS a good deal at least based on the items u will get), I would not read too much into the puffery language on quality and comfort.

And its def looks better than pedro to me.

I'm going to london in December, and I was thinking of picking up a pair of black double monks, similar to this:

My budget is around 400 - 500 SGD. Any recommendations?

Check out c&j lowndes or alfred sargent ramsay. I think could possibly be within sgd600 with VAT refund and a good FX rate.
