any idea where can I find this type of shoes? Doesn't have to be the same material.. Seems rather uncommon

Was leaning towards Tomir but leather is fine ! Thundermarch is checking with Skoak on the toe-taps.

This is a good time for me to publicly thank Thundermarch for organising the GMTO; thanks dude ! A round(or 5) of drinks is definitely in order.

Dude not a problem at all!
My pleasure really. To be quite frank, I've badly wanted this gmto to happen.
Drinks sound good!
Looks like we will pay vie bar a visit soon. Lol

I think there should be a more casual version of it? I think I saw some people matching it with berms and tees.

Isn't this rather common for old men doing tai-chi in the mornings?

Gaziano Girling for me is the best pair of shoes I have ever worn. The last is so sleek and the leather is heavy. Not gonna come cheap though, but definitely definitely worth the price.

I am going to Amsterdam and London for holiday and plan to do some shopping for shoes over there. Anyone can recommend me brands that I should look out for?

Quick question:
Polish then Shoe Cream, or Vice Versa?

Shoe maintenance is extremely confusing. Will be good if someone could advise!

Polish will always be last step. Lock in the shine

Thanks!

So is it correct to conclude that when caring for shoes,

Cleanse->Condition->Colour?

pretty much the correct sequence IMHO

My routine is as follows:

Weekly / Fornightly : Cream -> Dry -> Cream -> Dry -> Buff (with cloth or brush)
Once a while : Renovateur -> Dry -> Cream -> Dry -> Wax -> Dry -> Buff (with cloth)

Recently, i have been doing more wax and buff with cloth to try to get to a mirror shine.

Care to share some pics of the end result?

Before Renovatuer/Cream I presume you have to clean with a brush? No sarcasm intended, honest question.

Always brush with horsehair brush, to remove dust and dirt before hand.

I guess to state the obvious for avoidance of doubt: Give your shoes a wipe down or brush to remove visible surface dirt/dust before proceeding to apply any products on your shoes.

You wouldn't want dirt/dust to mix with the products that you apply on the shoes.

Nice shine and burnishing at the toe cap. Did u do the burnishing effect yourself or it came along with the shoes?

I see the unmistakable edetal creases (aplenty).
