Congrats bro!
Yours Loake rocks!

No. It was from 2010.

Thank you so much.

Yes I read that. I just assumed you were comparing to current prices at P Lal. Oh well.

That is very reasonable. Is the sales still on?

Sorry for the confusion. I meant if I order it online now.

Ady ended bro.
The sales ended end of January.
Seize the opportunity to whack one

It is ok then. I am looking for the exact same shoes. I guess I will get a pair from Robinson.

Go for it bro!
Later share here with all fellow shoe fans

Very nice pair of Grenson!

Hi all,
Long time reader, first time poster here.
Went to P Lal last week and got myself a pair of Loake Lifestyle Chukka Boots in brown. Totally love 'em.

Next, targeting a pair of monk strap derbies. I'd like to ask:
1) any special care for leather soles (other than the usual shoe cream regime)
2) how can the leather soles be replaced? I understand that there are no Goodyear welting machines in Malaysia and sending them to Loake in the UK is rather expensive
3) would you recommended putting in rubber soles (by say, the cobbler at ikano) before first wear?

Thank you for your feedback and responses.

Thanks bro,Any new haul for year 2016?

Hey there DM. Congrats on the new shoes.

1) None. Don't put any thing on them, even creme. You risk softening them which increases wear. If it gets soaking wet, put the shoes on their sides and leave them to dry naturally (not in the sun!) for at least a day.
2) You don't need a Goodyear welting machine to replace the sole. You just need it if you need to replace the welt, which Loake may or may not do as part of their recrafting service. That being said, I don't know where you can do a resoling in Malaysia. Mr Minit claims they can do it and showed me a nice piece of JR outsoling. Resoling can either be done by hand or by using a machine that I believe is called a curved needle stitcher.
3) I did on my Loake. Now the original rubber heel toplift is almost worn, I plan to replace the toplift and get them to peel off the rubber topy. I reckon I've saved myself 1 recrafting. Is it worth it? Don't know. Ask me in 5 years.

Only the 2 pairs of Crockett&Jones early Jan. Other than that, nothing yet. I'll wait for spring or summer

Great bro,Waiting if there's any sales coming in near future.
Tempt to get another pair of fine shoe

I am ordering 4 pairs of Woodlore Cedar shoe trees from East Dane's at USD25 per pair. There is one pair available for anyone who is interested. Please contact me as soon as possible. Thank you.
