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?
*
They are sellign Churchs at Pavillion parkson, ofcourse the price is about RM5~600 higher then compared to Singapore. That would more then cover hotel stay over the weekend down in Singapore.

Thanks, I learnt the difference of derby and oxfords today tongue.gif

I'm getting 2 pairs of Florsheims for about USD$180 + USD$40 for shipping give and take, so I feel USD$110 for a pair of Florsheims is still cheaper than what I can get here biggrin.gif
*
Florsheims here... they have 50% discount! 70% Discount! So... they markup to insane prices to try to project an exclusive image.. then slash price by half to get rid of old stock.. funny.

a 'decent' pair of shoes here is at least rm600 smile.gif

i know most of you wont be caught dead wearing shoes w/o leather soles, corrected leather etc, and i fully understand how good shoes are cheaper in the long run. in the meantime i cant spend more than rm300 for a pair, so that means i have to sacrifice somewhere. so for that money, what kind of sacrifice is the most 'forgivable' and what brand should i look for? any shoes with rubber soles and top-grain leather perhaps?
*
Actually if u look around u can find leather sole goodyear welted shoes for around RM300, not sure about topgrain or corrected leather as I didnt take a closer look.

If you can top up by, say another 200, try heading to the florsheim store, some sizes or pairs may give you good discount
*
I have to humbly disagree with florsheim... that must be the most marked-up shoes in the market. Unles syou are getting 50~75% discount dont even look at it.

well the rule is dont use brown shoes with black suits. wear grey or navy suits instead, or stick with only black shoes

but then u read people talking about fashion 'rules' and see it gets broken here and there and still look nice

I thought the rule is dont wear Black Suits? tongue.gif

Custom made would be the cheaper option, get a picture of the web and pass it to your local carpenter... otherwise some of them are severely overpriced...

issue is it's two tone and grey ... just get a kiwi neutral wax (burn the tin) ... or you can go for mink oil ... better still go barber shop and ask to polish depending on usage ...

Huh?! You can get your shoe polished in a barber shop?! shocking.gif

Talk about a 1 stop head-to-toe service.....

No. Unless you make them impractical most of the time then Yes.

Take off shoes when you drive
Dont let anyone step on your shoes
avoid crowded areas
avoid children
avoid crossing your shoes
avoid soil
avoid rainy days
avoid water
brush after use
keep in box with shoe tree
only wear on marble/wooden floors

Then your shoes will last forever! ...Until the day the sole goes through
*
Or you can do all the above and get a new pair next year... you see everything have a solution smile.gif

Edit : The more I look at them, the better they look.... damn.. must be a sign of age..

went to floorsheim to take a look and tried on a few of their shoes.. Their shoes are comfortable but is it overpriced in Malaysia?? I checked their website and it is only around $100 in the states and its RM 700++ down here...

Yes that brand is ridiculously overpriced in MSia... dont touch it unless its atleast 50% off... i usually only consider it if its 70%....
