Bros good evening..wta dr martens size matters.. I'm wearing brikenstock size 38..so what size of martens I should buy ?

This is what i'm wearing.

Loake Mid Cut Wingtip boots (Black)

oh now i know who stole my boots!

I have a dark brown leather shoes. Planning to get brush, shoe polish, and maybe water repellent. Basic shoe care will do. Would you guys please suggest:
1. Brush (applicator brush or cleaning brush or both?)
2. Cream or polish?
3. Cleaning agent (previously read something like ivory cream or what)
4. Any others?

Woly is not a must, but I want something decent and affordable, regardless of brand. Previously I read here, seems that Woly is quite OK for affordable price (which I've seen some of them in Plal). The thing with Plal, their staffs seems to be..cocky? Not helpful at all.

I want to know too...the old man is very very helpful. I know him since their days in Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman. Ignore the lady, she's just the cashier there.

Not sure about the young guy, never served by him before so cant comment.

+1

The old man is nice. I think his name is Faizal. The lady is...not nice.

So you also have the Cornwall too huh. How long have you had it?

I've been using Starwax, is this the best shine it can offer? Its dirt cheap, RM 5 for a small tin. Not sure if its good for the leather but it came recommended from reading this thread. Saphir would cost how much? Last I read Plal doesn't have anymore right?

No doubt its the tarmac and to a lesser extent pavements next to roads. Carpets and tiles and even smooth cement floors won't do this to the soles I'd think!

Don't you guys feel uneasy buying shoes online? What if it doesn't fit? Plus sometimes the pictures on the websites aren't really representative of the real thing... Especially the colour.

BTW I got the loake shoe trees from Plal. RM 169. Loakes website says its cedar but the invoice from Plal states its rosewood. I tried googling and SF says its probably not cedar. Anyway they also had shoe trees from Woly at RM 65. That's beech wood.

My 8 years old humbled Morandi. Bought in Tangs for RM500+...

Served me well and comfort. This is one of my favourite shoe besides my C&J and Loake.

Rubber sole only wear off less than 20%. Never went for resole added any extra rubber since the day i got em.

 

Tq bro! Go get em! Next in line for me would be Cheaney Jackie III R Chukkas! 

Goodyear welted Dainite rubber sole and heel.

Any love for suede chukka?

I'm contemplating for a Church's Ryder III but having second thought considering how delicate suede is, especially if it's carry RM1000++ pricetag.

Eventhough I do take care of my shoes but I don't pampered them. So is it wise to blow RM1000++ on a high end suede footwear for casual roundabouts in KL?

I thought it was the other way round? No?...the reason I'm not particularly fond of suede because of its delicate factor..which is why I'm sticking to smooth leather..

I don't know for sure...my experience with suede is fairly limited...I only have one suede shoes, an adidas campus..since it's a sneaker I don't really concern about the suede condition...

Used to own a clarks desert boot and waterproofed it...kinda destroy the upper tho...it somewhat "darken" the suede which I don't like and ended up gave it to my cousins..plus I hate the fitting...

But having watched james bond rockin it in quantum of solace, it kinda grow on me....

1. Pommadier re-colours better.
2. Pommadier also conditions a bit (for those who don't have a dedicated conditioner)
3. Pommadier only gives a lustre, wax a shine. I like a shine on the toe and a lustre on the rest. This pic illustrates what I mean.

Thanks. Awesome pants!!

We have the same problem when it comes to closed lace....high instep 

btw nice herringbone bro...tailored or rtw?

Lovely! I've emailed them. Hope they still make the OLG 1010 Brogues.

Oh, I was wondering, what's recommended for caring/shine black and tan leather shoes?

I currently have a Sketcher's Authentic boat shoe w/ all-round cow-hide shoelace and tan leather upper. It's held well over the 2 years. The "patina" is really nice. But the toe-end started to be a little too dry. Applied some oil-based cleaner but it won't last and I've no idea what kind of shoe conditioner/shine to buy for it. Boat-shoes have a rather soft leather upper so I have no idea really. It'd be good to have a conditioner/shine that caters for both black leather brogues and this.

OK I found the Woly suede protector in dark blue (ocean) at Robinson's the gardens. Now the hard part is to spray it on my shoes without letting it touch the brown and white parts. Damn this is hard.

Haha that's what I thought. But I still managed to screw up a little. I had sellotape over the brown leather side linings on my suede shoes, but the blue dye still leaked through so some parts of this decorative lining is now contaminated with blue. I learned from my mistake so for the right shoe I taped tissue paper over as well and now the right shoe looks great.

Is there a dye remover for leather? Or something I can clean the blue dye with?

can anyone recommends leather conditioner that doesn't darken the leather?

Sifu, I am a raw denim on daily basis guy, usually I wear it with my brown loake buckingham but thinking to get another black dress shoe to wear it alternately. My question is does black dress shoe good with denim, captoe or wingtip, brogued or not? Any suggestion?

single or double monk strap? I want a black dress shoe which can be worn with formal occasion as well, is monk strap fit for the job?

actually I don't have confident that I can carry out the monk strap but will give it a try during my next visit.

as per request.

well, eversince one of my daily shoes broken, I figured out it is time for me to get a replacement to alternate with my other loake.

Yeah just saw it. It only ships within US. Bummer.
Doesn't ship to Malaysia... the displayed shipping rate to Malaysia was just for show haha.

What's the best place to get some Saphir creams then?
