can anyone suggest me a woven type loafer similar with this bally.

i'm trying to get a cheaper version of this type of loafer but no luck. the bally price is a bomb . still not dropping the price (after 2 month hunting )

if i'm not mistaken

1) horsehair brush to clean off dust and grime
2) rub shoe cream all over
3) brush off with horsehair brush
4) buff with cloth/rag
5) rub shoe wax all over
6) brush off with horsehair brush
7) dab some water onto cloth and bring wax to shine

want to ask / share..

what is the proper solution when the shoes become like this? (the arrows pointing part)
(note : i send to cobbler b4, there just glued for me )
is this normal, and anyway to prevent ?

Cracked welt? Replace it.

It's not normal. Did you cut it somewhere?

not cut,
this happen to my others shoes too.. after few year (above 3 years) then become like this, i asked a few cobbler, didn't get a proper answer, so i come and ask anyone like this or not..

yes, i google the internet, is just re-welt right, is it expensive?

What shoes are they?

I have no idea about the price.

is an italian made leather shoes, no idea what is the construction of it..

Never happened to my shoes yet.

thanks. are there any specialty shops that sells such stuff? 1 place where one can get all 1 shot, instead of buying piece by piece

can get from almost the shoes repair shops(can bargain to get a bit discount) or can get at isetan..

roughly, how much is an average pair of C&Js?

and where can i purchase them?

Oops sorry basically I'm trying to see what goes with my new BROWN PATENT LEATHER shoes. Sorry bout that.

No patent leather with a sport jacket. ever

I'd go with grey pants and brown belt. Don't know how loud your shoes are gonna be though. Do post some pics if you wear them.

These are my shoes, gentlemen.

Goodyear-welted brown patent leather shoes. I believe the style of leather cut is called a 'wholecut' unless I'm mistaken. The thing I like about it is that it's Goodyear-welted, but has rubber soles factory-fitted. Perhaps these guys knew that the shoes will get heavy use in a tropical environment.



Sorry it's just a phone pic.

doesn't look like a wholecut to me. a wholecut would mean that the upper is made from a single piece of leather.
