Does anyone know how long it takes for a cobbler to put on topy/vibram soles? Do I have to leave my shoes with the cobbler overnight? Or can do on the spot?

Mine took less than half an hour.

UK 10 should be a 44? Probably safer to downsize than upsize on the tree in case it's longer than your shoe which might cause the leather to stretch excessively.

Yea definitely down 1 size.

Hakka if you want it cheap I can sell the 2 pairs I got from the same taobao seller. 15 bucks for both pairs

Hi there, from your experience of the sizing for this particular taobao seller, what size shoe trees would suit US 9/10 shoes? Thanks

The 41/42 would be just nice.

But for US9 shoes it might be a bit too tight for shoes that are narrower at the toe box because the front of this shoe tree is pretty wide. YMMV.

Yep the 43-44. I will be heading to town tmr in the afternoon. Other days I can deal anywhere near the west.

You can try the fit with your shoe first before you commit no prob.

Put cream and wax, then polish.
Repeat as needed.

If this doesn't help, learn to live with the flaw. Or throw away shoes.

I went to one at Junction 8, somewhere in the basement near the supermarket. Took about 1+ hour as he had other shoes to work on. Price was around $30.

i bought a pair of oxfords recently. when i tried them on, they felt snug and fine. however, after wearing them twice to work, i found that my last toe is always squished and that results in bruises/blisters. thats my main discomfort and make it difficult to walk in them.

i was wondering if anyone has a similiar experience with their shoes, and how many wears or any solutions you guys might have to solve the problem? tia

Not wide enough.

When you buy shoes, you should be able to wriggle all your toes.

 

[xtreamzz]

okay.. so will it get better after 'breaking-in' or do i just have to look for another pair altogether

edit: so i think ill just look for another pair.

I am letting go the Archules - Atlanta model in Dark Oak
Size 41, worn twice, come with the accessories kit and box as well.
Letting go cheap (just wanna recoup some), please do pm me if anyone is keen.
