Working Shoe for Young Exec

Shoes are made in Vietnam and are relatively ok. Leather is calf but quality could be better (creases abit). Still, this is an issue most shoes around this price range bear since you get what you pay for. He's offering recrafts now, could be more favorable if redoing his own range compared to other brands lol.

If can wait for his sample sales even better.

ed sample sale is like forum gathering. Everyone will be there, its a matter of spotting who is who behind the forum nicks.

Herring winter sale is up. Knock yourself out guys.

The Jeffery West very good price with the discount, less than S$400 (no GST). Anyone has comments on the quality?

You guys saw the new MTO on Meermin for the Black Calf?

https://meermin.es/grupoMTO.php?idGrupo=75

Any take on the last and leather?

 

[lirahs]

You can find Dasco or Columbus products at Mustafa or Isetan or Tangs or Robinson shoe dept.

Ed Et Al has just started retailing Collonil's 1909 shoe care products. Worth exploring too.

The shoe designs associated with the brand already turns me off, quality aside. But that's just me.

Anyway jeffery west do not manufacture their own shoes. I believe they use english shoemakers, but not sure which one.

be careful of the park last
narrow heel, fairly narrow toe box, not for people with wide feet
meermin's leathers in the classic line are inconsistent / poor / very poor quality at best
but at that price can't really complain

How does etedal's shoe fare for its price range?

For that range, you get what you pay for. Sample sales like likehotbutter mentioned is worth getting. I do feel the MTO price has gone ridiculously high over the years for the quality you are getting though.

I would go for a pair of RTW Carminas at the cost of the MTO (with change to spare), even though you can't specify what you want for the Carminas but the overall quality feels much better.

That's my personal view of course.... others might differ..

Sounds like I'll give this MTO a skip.

Bought an extra pair of AE shoe trees from Amazon and can't find another pair of shoes to use it on.

Unused, size M. Letting it go at cost price $35 if anyone is keen.

Anyway, what would you guys do if someone steps on your shoe?

I would shout "ouch". How about you?

I will say "step some more"

 

[Strawberry_Cream]

I used to stare at that person but nowadays I am used to it. But I will get very heart pain if I scratched it leaving a deep scar.

don't buy expensive shoes...

 

[Strawberry_Cream]

I would stare at the offender, ask to see his watch, and then mock him for not investing in a dress watch before I head back to my parent's home and jack off to photographs of my TAG; already kept in a time capsule in the off chance that I find someone stupid enough to make children with me.

That is a superb idea.

Mine is currently stored in a time capsule.

 

[Strawberry_Cream]

Throw a hissy fit?

then it's like being a snake cos pple step on shoes nowadays

Don't feed the troll.

Arguing with people on the internet is like trying to drown a vampire with your own blood.

Vibram sole avg $25. Most cobblers like Solemann should have. If Topy I think Shukey has.

Renovateur locally cheapest I found is on Carousell ($25). There is Pate de lux and Cream also ($28). Or else you can head down to Mason & Smith or EEA, they have.

Brush just go Mustafa lol
