both are by paul smith. picture taken after spending a good 1 & 1/2 hrs cleaning, sunbathing and polishing those two on easter eve. the one on the left has leather sole, Blake construction, whilst the other, rubber sole, glued-on.

no offense taken, bloke1 . it may sound silly but how could one tell if it is corrected leather, especially on black shoes? i was made to understand that most black shoes come in corrected leather. and if one could mirror himself, it is most likely made of corrected leather.

anyone know where have sell sock garter ?For shoe tree, who know where can buy shoe tree?except kulitkraf brand cz no have transport go there...anyone can tel me?

I think it is rightful to say that most shoes with cemented soles are made of corrected leather, at least mine are. It just doesn't make sense to use good calfskin with glue. And they all exude this dull and plasticky shine, characterless wrinkles, even on black shoes.

Guys I'm looking for some nice classy leather loafers.
Budget <500
I've surveyed Zara and Raoul and kinda like the selection there.. any other brands?

at Tods?

hahahhaha... DUH LAH!..
I mean't... where is Tods?
Price range?

i bought it at Macau, around RM1.3k if i remember correctly.

Yup, checked online, ~GPB 250..

So that's WAY over budget... so back to less than MYR 500.. Any good brands with good design?

Another question, how does velvet / moccasin fair in Malaysian weather? I mean it rains like all the time, loafers bound to get wet, so how?

I know there are some protective treatments but how good are they? Protect like Durex?

nice Tod's

john lobb, anyone?

Added on May 13, 2011, 10:05 amThere is a lot of info given by all of the gentlemen in here, if you have the time read through the whole thread, it will definitely give you the idea which or where to get one of those "your desired" shoes.

Church's price is at the high side, if one aim for an "entry level" in this shoes world.
Loake or Cheaney may be a good start off with price as low as RM600
PLAL is the place to visit if you have the time...
anyway, that all just my 2 cents :-)

happy hunting

Added on May 13, 2011, 10:10 amFlorsheim could have high discount up to 70%, selling below RM500
Robinson @ Garden
Outlet @ BU
Parkson @ Pavilion

But you may end up spending more, cause florsheim carry their own shoe horn, tree and wax...which you may find it irresisstable. :-)

They do have an outlet in Empire Gallery Subang as well .
You mean selling at below RM500 after 70% of discount or...?
Yeap I might get other shoes accessories too .

Normally when they have discount 70%? Father's Day?

was wearing my loake 1880 in penang when the shoe lace snapped. the remainder was just long enough for me to tie in a cacat kind of way.

looking for a flexible shoe horn.. =) anyone got extra to let go?? or recommendation?
