here are some pictures. Im afraid if I try to bend the string in it will expand my shoe vertically.

Notice that when the end ball is fitted into the shoe it looks so much more longer visually. Problem is this shoe is a perfect fit for me I dont want the shoe tree to cause any problems other then getting the crease away from my shoecap. thanks!

on a similar note bout shoe trees where can i one find them, if possible a cheap alternative to the woods
atm i m just stuffing newspaper in one of my pair =/

it is an expensive pair, worthwhile to invest in a good cedar shoe tree

I'm having trouble finding a shop with a wide range of quality but affordable shoes here in Malaysia, most only have a few selections. Anyone know a good spot? Preferably in KL

How about this guys? Nice? Just bought it last month.

Nope they dont. One thing about Clarks is that, they dont stretch that much. I have quite a few Clarks shoes and they last me more than 5 years.

Ive been wondering, how many shoes do guys normally have? For a college student and a working guy.
Sorry if its off topic.

Hi, anyone know about this brand - Fratelli Rossetti.
bought 2 pair of this brand in Italy.

Need to replenish some shoe trees from Bexley. If anybody wants to piggyback, let me know.

BTW, I have some size UK 9.5/ Eur 44 that is extra if anybody wants it.

Hi, I plan to start investing in some real men shoes since I am graduating soon. I used to wear sneakers during my studies years.

I wonder where should I start? My optimum budget would be around Rm1k per pairs, is it sufficient to get a quality shoes?

Should I start investing in shoes tree first?

How to determine the quality of the shoes? leather sole? specific brands?

I don't understand?

just settled in for a black suede Chelsea boots.
currently stuffing in rolled newspaper post-usage.

can sifus here recommend a good place that sells a good shoe tree? doesn't necessarily have to be sky high pricey nor  dirt cheap. as long as it is at a good value for money, that'll do justice.
I heard Pertama Complex is a good place to look for such products as P.Lal is sort of out of the way for me
many thanks!

hi there! thanks for the suggestion.
but, if I am not mistaken, most shoe trees from IKEA are plastic shoe trees, am I right? or, do they make wooden shoe trees too?
when you say spend some time browsing few pages, do you mean web pages, which site would you recommend me checking out besides woodlores and shoestrings.co.uk?
I see woodlores make some really nice looking ones, but with a price. hahaha

thanks!

I polish all my shoes every week and I use shoe trees. I have a pair of Church's i bought 5 years ago and I have a Tod's I bought 4 years ago(both captoes...I know, why the same? but i just love classic designs); they stilll look the same from the first day i bought em. Of course I have changed the back heel once for both shoes. I guess if you interchange shoes, both Italian and English can last almost forever. But comfort wise...Italians wins hands down. And although both are leather soles, i seem not to fall as much with the Italians...lol. Yes, I fell a couple of times!
My 2 cents, don't be bothered too much on how long will that shoe stay with you...I just love an excuse to buy new shoes.

Oh...I need some donations to buy a John lobb double monk strap. Can help? lol

Nieh Keh Hiong Kong Keh Phang Yaw Hou Geng Woh...

Apart from KLCC is there any Tod's outlet?

hey guys.. thinking to get a new pair of working shoes.. what brand out there is good/durable? is hush puppies/clarks/pedro those shoes durable enough? maybe for 2-3 years?

Yea. But from my observations, most of the things sold here in msia are overpriced as compared getting them overseas or either the selections here are limited. Mind intro-ing some good UK brands? For the time being all I can think of is Kurt Geiger. Lol
