Anyone knows where to buy small sized (EUR 37/UK 5.5) loafers in Singapore? Thanks.:)

I am facing the same problem as your case.

Am wearing a size EUR 38, UK 5.5. Even Nike sneakers mens size 7 is still a bit big for me. I could wear a women US size 6.5 shoes and youth US 7.

Many Nike sample shoes or Air Jordan come only in US size 8. Very difficult to get size 7 or 6.5.

Hence for work shoes. I have to source for women size shoes. But often the case, the shoes I ordered is very feminine. If you notice all great brands work shoes don't offer smaller size below EUR 39 for men.

Sign* guess bespoke is the only solution

3rd here. Sian thing why there is nothing for guys like us with smaller feet. I am a 37 too. I did a mto once with edetal, but not cheap to get 2nd pair for rotation lor... :(
So far I also don't see any brands at all, in store or online. Unfair...

Shout out for Herring sale which is going on now.
Seems like a lot of shoes are available from them (mostly of their own house brand).

You are picky about the brand perhaps?

Picking up a topic discussed last month: Anyone visited KS and have an idea of the prices and range of Carmina shoes carried? TIA

Think the european brands hardly go below UK6 (US 7) so if u need smaller shoes than that then it's gona be tough.

Asian brands shouldnt be a prob?

Not I picky lor, but its really not common at all to see anything that is size37...


Can recommend asian brands which can find locally in store? Shoes wise, I really feel safer to test wear then I can buy

U must have had alot of or high value vouchers. Loakes shoes at robinsons (sg) are marked up quite high. If G fit shoes fit u better then u are def a wide feet guy like me.

indeed I did! Found them lying in a infrequently used bag very close to expiry, and I had the need for a pair of shoes .. heh.

Still looking for a credible alternative to loake actually. Anyone experienced can share what the wider last would be like for other shoe brands, i.e., comparable to the G last in Loake?

Anyway, soon after I bought them shoes I read more and realised that they were corrected grain. On the burgundy ones, I clip my heels on the legs of my seat and the colour has come off, and there's no way I can polish it on again since it's corrected grain.

Has anyone ever stripped the laquer before?
