pardon me
dude are you serious ? these are the berwick premium grades right . with JR soles
very favorably reviewed on shoe snob
costs 60 pounds with shipping ???
how on earth .....

Nope, this is not their premium grade series. It should be their 1707 goodyear welt series. I checked their website and they only have 2 series. Their premium grade series is made of leather sole.

And here's the link, http://int.debenhams.com/sg/shop/

Fastest fingers first as there's only a size 8 left when I bought.

I guess I was. Well, you can still consider the premium grade range at 105 pounds still. I tried to find a 10% discount code but they didn't seem to work. I was just searching for them online cause I only just got to find out about this brand on Instagram where they had a store in Korea.

Are you a UK8? The maroon brogues are still available. Not sure if you're looking for a pair with dainite sole though.

I'm a uk 8.5
but thanks Bro ... We can all live vicariously through you
please rem to post pics when you get the shoes!
I am on the lookout for a pair of wet weather shoes so yes, rubber soles are feasible. But for the uppers I'm looking for something with grained leather.

i am keen to get the AS Moore in cherry as well. The best deal which i found could be from here: Moore - Bodileys, the best English shoes online (i am not sure about the credibility of the website though)

Please send me a pm if you manage to snag a good deal. cheers:s13:

Bro the site looks credible but i didn't look at shipping and all. Looks like at the price only odd sizes are left. If u can fit then i think you should go for it. £360 is a good £30 cheaper than most other sites.
However, i think I'll leave the Moore for next year haha. I'm saving wallet space for Vass' event. I'm thinking of 2 pairs.
Anyway, you can also consider AFPOS for the Moores. They come with AS lasted shoe trees. Thanks to Bro Alvin for his recommendation.

Who knows if the size runs too big or small, maybe it might fit you. Probably the best buy this year for me if it fits well so keeping my fingers crossed. I couldn't gather information on the various lasts used on their shoes so my only concern is that the shoe might be too narrow for my feet.

I did do a bit of reading and apparently according to some guys on SF and also shoe snob himself, Berwick tends to run a bit big so most guys size down by half
Anyway I do hope your size works out bro
It pains me when seeing guys having to give up brand new shoes they've just bought cos they dont fit.

That was what I gathered from the limited amount of information available online. They didn't have half sizes so I didn't think I would risk getting a UK 8. I'm normally a US11/11.5 for other shoes like sneakers or boat shoes. Well, even if it doesn't fits, I hope it will find another owner and it's definitely not as painful on the pocket as much as a pair at full retail price.

i think at this price point definitely makes it much less painful
im sure someone else would even be happy buying it exactly at the price you paid with shipping

haha, just realised i am junior member no more

Carminas is on sale on elm and khan website. Spend 500 CAD and get 150 cad off. In short a pair of carminas is about 350 CAD, est sgd$450 after delivery and GSt.

Fastest finger, they are closing down. I didn't get any as the design I liked doesn't have my size.

Does any one want to combine purchase with me?
