Working Shoe for Young Exec

[Diluted]

I've came across a few mentioning Archules shoes but no one really mentions about the quality of the shoes..

Other than being relatively cheaper with designs that aren't too outlandish, is the quality at this price range good? Considering to get one to rotate with my meermins..

I noticed that Carmina is opening a new shop at Capitol Building. Ground floor. The posters are up covering the glass panels.

That's great news. Hoping that the prices are not exorbitantly marked-up.

They're cemented if I remember correctly. No comparison with Meermins.

I hope they have a decent arrangement for resoling of Carmina shoes.
I think the mark up will be significant.

Yep.. I read on their website that it's cemented..

What about the leather quality? Is it better than shoes in this price range (e.g. Pedro, Rad Russells)?

At $120 a pop, their shoes are as good as it gets... If I were someone considering shoes at that price range, it would be an attractive proposition.

I believe that the leather used should be corrected grain leather, as I don't think it would be commercially viable to use higher grades for that selling price point.

where to buy good quality shoes

Hi guys could you let me know what are some places to shop for good quality leather shoes? I'm interested in a pair of penny loafers but would like to take a look at other options as well. Something in the low to mid end budget preferably.

Cheers

Meermin
Loake 1880

The shoes look great. Anywhere in Sg I can try them?
I have really wide feet. Measured 8EEE at the red wing store if I'm not wrong so many shoes fit me poorly.

What about Hush Puppie, Bettleb Bug, Predo , Aldo?

 

[darthsid11111]

Cemented shoes.. The general advice would be to spend on better quality shoes which are welted.

I used to wear HP and Aldo. I no longer do.

Do you mean Pedro instead?

Price for welted shoe

What does the price generally start at for welted shoes? and what brands?
Also, where can I get cheap shoe trees?

Thanks

 

[darthsid11111]

I suggest you do a little legwork and visit:
http://www.herringshoes.co.uk/

Ideally look for goodyear or storm welted shoes. Blake stitch is slightly lower tier

You can get shoes from $200 if I'm not wrong..

On n off I will in London. Maybe this coming July/Aug. Haha

Any idea how much the shoes will cost. The collaboration.

Some of us recently gotten the sample sale. Lol

Collaboration will be 100 pounds on top of the price of the shoes.

Anyway I was speaking to Ngoni and he was quite open to the idea of pre-orders before the launch. There was a photo shoot during the weekend so I think you should be seeing them on the website soon.

Also just to let you guys know how the collaboration works. After the payment is received, the guys will put you in touch with Dandy Shoe care directly for your desired patina
