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?

definitely made in india. as my sf friends would put it, very "unlickable" soles.

atta, sharing is caring. are they cedar?

great shoes chino. how much did they set you back?

I'm wearing about a size bigger. Planning the purchase in a week or so, depending on whether I can get away to shop / back in town.

that type of c&j are you looking to get?

one of the uk websites offers free shipping worldwide i think. good only if you know your exact fit and size.

Most colours go well with black pants except maybe navy blue.

i won't do brown shoes with black pants. oxblood/burgundy maybe.

Why not?
Sometime ago, one of the forumers mentioned Thomas Chan or something. In bangsar village?
*
black pants with brown shoes don't look right to me. black pants only with black shoes, or if i am feeling adventurous, burgundy.

i think thomas chan has outlets in bv2 and bsc. wasn't too impressed by his shoes.

indeed. i rub silica gel all over myself everyday to make sure i don't smell. works wonders. my skin is also peeling.

i have never had the rubber sole smell problem. perhaps you could take them to a good cobbler to get suggestions.

what shoes are they by the way?

cheenoo has a rubber smell fetish.

new[x] - florsheim? give em away. but seriously, cobbler or silica gel are your only options. last resort, if you step in shit, no one is going to notice the rubber smell anymore.

Mudah.my. Its new and offer price was RM500 and I managed to negotiate to deal for half of that. But have to be careful of fakes at this website.
*
how did you verify the authenticity for this one?

on another note, i heard that plal is stocking mostly cheaneys now, and that some of the shoes are slightly defective.

is there anywhere else to get good english shoes in malaysia, or is a trip to singapore necessary?

Both. So far they have done a great job pairing up with beige khakis and dark blue denim. Still have yet to wear them to work though!

cap toe oxfords with denim? i wouldn't do that.

how much did these set you back? they look good. very good match with the belt too.

Bought a pair of leaf tan shoes yesterday.
But now am slightly wary about wearing them to work as most office shoes I see here (including on the senior guys) are black or dark brown.

What do you guys think? Would it be too out of place?
Edit: Oh, and what's the difference between cream and wax, and which one should I use? I've had two different cobblers tell me different things.
*
what industry are you in?

i use cream if my leather looks/feels dry, and wax when i want a mirror polish, for the more important occasions.
