How did you manage to shine them till this level? SIC please haha

 

[Lexyyy]

Bought these awhile ago https://meermin.es/articulo.php?idArt=4337#and ended up with a pair of oversized loafers . Totally underestimated the combination of it being Ron lasted, suede and laceless.

Heel grips were unable to remedy the major heel slips. Insoles made it much better but it took away the breathability of the leather insoles and caused discomfort at the toe box.

Will be offloading them through the marketplace to fund a replacement pair!

This is from edetal? Look quite like Dunearn.

Well with a little patience and tons of practice they will shine brighter than the sun.

You're right, these are Dunearn. I've removed the rear tab to keep the profile flowing smoothly.

For anyone who's interested, I'm actually selling this pair away due to sizing issues. This pair is size 41.

My apologies. I wasn't looking to offend anyone. In fact I'm not familiar with the shoe tree pricing. I just did the math from my credit card deductions and upon your remark,I might have been overcharged by amazon.

I'm not looking to make a fast buck, just to clear the shoe trees for I now have close to 20pairs. If anyone here is way more familiar with the pricing and will offer me a fair price (to cover my cost) I will let them go.

Thank you for bringing up my error and my sincere apologies again if I had offended anyone.

They have it in this color shade? Mine is in black. How do you "remove" that rear tab without the end result looking a flop? I find the tab a little irritating always kana the pants...

Btw, I like how you shine the shoes, very pro.

Hello gents, I tried Loake Capital last, and siz 7 is just nice. I'm interested in Meermin Oxfords black Calf, should I size up by half?

The hiro last and capital are pretty generous. Stick to the same size

Hey sorry bro I assumed you were trying to make a quick buck. Hope you can get it sorted out with Amazon. Up for those who're looking for shoe trees in size S!

@kazuki666 this pair is cognac in colour and any reputable shoe service outlet could remove it for you, you just got to communicate and make sure he understands that you want the stitches to be clean. I agree with you regarding the 'kena the pants' part!


Nah, I'm not as pro as the forum's favourites! But thank you for your kind words!



I am currently offloading some shoes on https://carousell.co/twentythird/
( I do hope that I'm not breaking any rules here by posting a link to sell my shoes )

Just curious though. Does the toe area of your Dunearn creases alot? My pair creases like real fast. I am not sure if this is consider good or bad...
Since its not synthetic leather, the crease should not just break or tear off easily right?

All leather creases, some creases more and some creases less, in my experience it is all down to the fitting of the shoes. And don't worry full grain leather is stronger than it looks.

What is the "oversized" RON last loafer size that you purchased? And what other dress shoes you wear and what are their sizings? What I gathered was, RON lasts tend to be quite wide than expected. For loafers, it's best trying it physically with someone that owns one or go to their physical store(madrid or tokyo). Just sharing.

Patina works

Wanna share result of dyeing with slight patina of my Edetal mountbatten boot.... Quite satisfied with my first attempt. Will try to do patina next time once I get hold of another shoe to try....

Guide and experience at my blog... Cheers!

Hey alvin interesting stuff; and thanks for dropping by the other day.

Here's some of my own works, will appreciate honest comments

Is this service available as part of your business and at what cost? It does look commendable considering the original product was in black colour.

You can drop me PM if that works better for you. I am keen to get this done on my SAF boots.. the smooth grain full leather version..

Reckon it could cost a bomb if factor in the amount of conditioning it would likely required...

Anyone has a reliable cobbler that they frequent? Need not be those located at the shopping mall.
