Hide the knot in your shoe la.

Ikea? its plastic though.

it depenDs on material, color and design
currenty without a sale, there are ones going for 1600 but its a color most men won't wear
fingers crossed, with the coming sale, i'll take it in my size

I spotted a Florsheim Imperial yesterday in Isetan, was selling at RM900 if I'm not mistaken, though there is a 10% discount on the shoes. It was a swan. So elegant

thanks.. any other recommendation?? ikea is too far for me though..

perhaps telling us your location will help?

sorry guys maybe abit off topic but anyone know where to get mink oil or emu oil in KL?

anyone know Pedro's stores in Malaysia?
and how much is the price if compare with Singapore & Malaysia's price.

i once bought Pedro's shoe @ Singapore which cost around SGD100+...
the cheapest i saw is around SGD100.

thanks. not used to KL's directions... depends on KTM/LRT/MONORAIL transport...

new balance minimus anyone?

I want to remind everyone that only shoes as those described in the first post of this thread belong here.

If it does not have a leather sole it does not belong here.

where are the mods when you need them

i'm not sure if these qualify here...but they are church's after all...just without leather soles....so...should i get....or should i not? i'm 20...wonder if i'll get weird stares at uni if i do...

20 years old.. at uni.. with those... i would say.. yes.

i thought so too...lol...maybe 6 or 7 more years

Here's my shoe care kit I put together last month. I've had a chance to try out some of these products, and wow...I am impressed.
I've been using Kiwi Wax Polish and Meltonian Shoe Creams for years - they're not quite as good as the stuff I've got here.


Kit contents:

4 x Saphir Pate de Luxe Médaille d'Or 1925 Paris Smooth Leather Shoe Polish
1 x Saphir Médaille d'Or 1925 Paris Renovateur Leather Conditioner
1 x Saphir Super Gommadin Suede/Nubuck Rubber Eraser
3 x Saphir 52x30cm Chamois Polishing Cloth
2 x Saphir 100% Boars Hair Hand Waxed Exotic Wood Large Spatula Brush
1 x Avel Regenerating Leather Cleaner Soap
2 x Bally Fine Leather Lotion
2 x Cole Haan Leather and Suede Protector
1 x Kiwi Rubber Suede Brush
2 x Allen Edmonds 100% Horsehair Shine Brush
4 x Allen Edmonds 100% Horsehair Dauber
2 x Allen Edmonds Cotton Flannel Polishing Cloth


Saphir is apparently the OE manufacturer of John Lobb creams and waxes - no wonder it is considered some of the best stuff on Earth!

Verdict: Definitely more luster and shine than Kiwi or Meltonian, looks more like an oily shine than the waxy shine you get from Kiwi - but it is not oily at all.
The wax is very thick (not hard like Kiwi though), so a little bit goes a long way. It's also considerably more difficult to buff out, especially on coated or patent leathers.
I am not sure I am sold on the price, considering the wax is 6x the price of Kiwi, but so far there isn't anything quite as good, so it's still the best I've tried.
The Saphir Chamois Polishing cloths have a lot of loose lint and need to be washed first before use, but they are quite soft. I prefer the Allen Edmonds cloth. In fact, the Allen Edmonds shoe care brushes are very good. I am quite impressed with the quality (all made in USA) for the price.

What is everyone else here using?


Alright, now it's time to go polish some Aldo shoes?

do you really need all that for corrected grain leather?

i have a pair of cole haans in corrected grain and the only love it gets is from kiwi.

nice collection though. how much did it cost to put together?

They work surprisingly well on corrected grain, I've gotten incredible shine on my Bally's and on some of my friends' coated leather shoes.
That being said, I have a beautiful pair of Cole Haan's in full grain calf, that soak this stuff up beautifully. Not all lower priced shoes are made of corrected grain. I get incredible shine off of those.
I also have some other shoes including a pair of Church's. Church's + Saphir gives some incredible, ultra mega uber mind blowing shine.

Cost is about RM ~1000, Saphir products alone are about RM 650. So yeah, you could say that I've spent more on this kit than some of my lower model shoes.

I've even used them to polish an 'ol pair of Kenneth Cole blutcher's, and the results are fantastic.
They most certainly do need some sole edge dressing but the patina on these things after 4-5 years is awesome.
