Don't you know that last is a very important factor for fit? If the last is not suitable for your feet, it simply won't fit right.

And yeah I have tried EGs and SCs, the SC salesperson even recommended their MTM program as their RTW lasts do not fit me.

No one is talking about fit buddy. I just said the Florshiem lasts suck. Its too bad that EGs and SCs dont fit you.

Deleted.

I don't have the energy for this shit.

Lol.. Just keep inside.
Just did what i did before on my converse shoe

Looking around for a monk shoe.
Come across this 2 brand offering almost the same design.
Hence need all sifu advise :

Was looking at :

1. Carmina Nicolas (Dark Brown Calf)
2. Loake Cannon (Dark Brown Calf)

Also this :
3. Barker Tunstall (Cedar Calf)


Need all sifu advise and input btw the Carmina & Loake. In terms of comfort and also quality.

Many thanks!

I would go for Carmina but then it depends on whether the last suits you. There are forum threads to help on sizing.

Hi guys, any suggestions on formal black chelsea boots? Something like this, but Cheaney price Looking for something more affordable.

I'm looking for business casual shoes.

Considering these Loakes. Pls help me to choose. It's a blind test... One is L1 range made in India, the other is Shoemaker made in UK.

Also considering Timberlands as per 3rd attachment.

Thanks all.

Mintak advice,

What shoes go with casual shorts + plain tshirt. 39 yearold man

My 1-year old Carmina. I heard there's now 1 shop in BSC selling Carmina shoes and some other menswear stuff from PJT, etc.

I'd go for Carmina, although shipping & custom duty can be quite significant. Have you considered Meermin as well? A bit cheaper compared to Carmina.

Thank you niakulah for the advice.

Just picked up two pairs of shoes at P.Lal. One is a Loake 1880 Islington, single monk strap in dark brown leather and a Cheaney Toe Cap Oxford in black.

My next target is a brown derby/ oxford. Probably a Loake Aldwych oxford toe cap. Maybe another black double monk.

Your opinions please, my office is business casual/ casual.
1) would you wear black shoes in this environment? I was thinking of adding a black double monk. Currently have two black slip ons (matched with black/navy/grey cotton chinos). Don't think I'd ever wear my toe cap oxford here
2) would you ever match you belt buckle colour with your monk strap buckle colour (e.g. brass monk buckle with brass/gold belt buckle, silver with silver). I know this is pedantic.
3) is the polishing treatment the same for burnished leather with normal leather? The surface seems "shinier" than normal calf leather.

Thanks all for your thoughts.

Thanks for your input.Definitely looking at Carmina Nicolas (Dark Brown) as i just purchase a Grenson Dylan Tan.
Guess going to put on hold,As My financial minister not allow me to purchase another pair of shoe in this fast pace.
Meermin i'll wait for their MTO funding.. Their shoe are magnificent in style and quality But not sure their comfort,yet i have not try from their house yet..

Any input for Meermin shoe sifu here?

I have a pair of Meermin suede oxfords, which I've worn for about 2 months now. It made squeaky noises when I walked due to friction with the socks so I put some talc powder in the shoes and the noises disappeared. However recently there has been a different kind of squeaking -- it happens when the sole flexes, when you start to lift your foot off the ground and the heel moves first and the sole bends. I'm not sure if it's due to friction again but I could only pinpoint it to the moment when the sole flexes. Any ideas on how to fix this? Sending back to Meermin is not an option.

Apart from that the shoes are pretty great, not the best finishing but not bad at all. The suede looks and feels soft. The snuff colour is darker than on the website but is just the right shade of brown imo. Not too light not too dark. I prefer it over the lighter website colour to be honest.
