leather soles in my case.

no, Beau, I am not referring to storing shoes in the house. i was talking about storing these shoes inside the cotton bag and in the suitcase when travelling.

regarding the cabinet to keep shoes in the house, i am thinking of getting 1 made also from teak wood, cant think of any design yet.
i just made 1 box to store my shoe care stuff from teakwood last week....yea yea i know i can easily use an old shoe box..LOL

BV,

Here's a thought. We should look at coming out with a design which everyone will like & do a group commission/buy. What do you think?

Didn't see anything interesting, some Loakes at uncompetitive prices, but I wasn't interested in the shoes.

It's the small things that matter! They sell Falken socks. A wool/cotton pair was going for 10 Euros.

Try finding navy shoe polish in Malaysia! I'll suk your dik if you're successful!

Manufacturing defect or accident?

It's difficult to say without physically seeing the shoe to ascertain it's construction. Offhand it doesn't look hopeful

Great for antiquing your brown shoes & gives it a nice patina.

You'll be surprise how many females remark about a man's shoe particularly if it's well polished. Or negatively if it's worn out & shabby.

Hmm... so she was "sizing" up your feet huh? 

I've had two of my posts, as usual saturated with rare sartorial knowledge, removed by the mods. It's unbelievable.

Nice-what make are they?

Nice hat and shoes, I actually got the herring hampstead semi-brogue which are rebranded Loake 1880s, excellent customer service... only 3 working days from UK to Melbourne. Here they are... mind the slight scuffs, I have not gotten round to giving them a polish yet...

In regard to winter boots, I'm also interested in a getting one soon for winter, but I think I'll get a leather one and probably topy it. Not sure if you know this, but if you spend over 100GBP on herring shoes you can actually use a coupon code to claim a free pair of cedar shoe trees (like the ones in my shoes). not sure if they're any use for boots tho but hey, they're free..... . Oh and they also  included shoe bags, a shoe horn and a tin of tan polish....

I'm thinking of visiting northampton when I head up to Europe next year, hopefully it'll coincide with the period the shoemakers go on sale as well... but for now, I'm keen on getting one or two more basic shoes for everyday wear. Probably more from their Herring classic range

Love those semi-brogues you have though, what make, last and fit are they? (I'm a wide-fit which unfortunately limits the types of shoes I can wear... )

Thanks! love those oxblood Paul Smiths and the socks!   I really need to invest in the socks department as well....ahaha....
