Finally order my Loake 1880 from pedi wear with black fri discount code ... P.lal is selling at 1099 but my order was £151 . Like finally
Waiting for them to process my order...

Looks like a bargain, but have that included shipping and GST?

free shipping to Msia. GST unsure yet as it has not reached Msia
if i do have to pay, i think it is still RM200 cheaper than Plal.

Restocked a bunch of Saphirs over the Black Friday sale.



Just had to try out the new Mirror Gloss polish.
Difficult to see from the pic, gloss polish on left and mirror polish on right. I use it as top up to the mirror shine and it definitely adds more lustre and definition to the reflections.





Boots all ready for the week

Nice! Wanted to get some too but neutral was sold out

I wonder if the black mirror gloss can be used with mid-brown shoes....

you can use black on mid brown shoes but it will create a burnished look. I tend to do it on the toe caps.

Is Geox consider good shoe brand? The price seems a bit high. Normally i wear parkson brand like larrie camel, hish puppies etc

Hi . i am from malaysia here
Any idea where to get saphir or feibing products in KL?

This is my personal opinion but for me LV shoes have good leather but very poor quality base. Mine spoiled just after like 10 times (or lesser )wear

3k could get you a nice pair of handgrade crockett&jones, Vass or 2 pairs of Carminas. RL purple label english shoes are made by C&J and Edward Green, however there's no flashy logos anywhere.

hi. anyone can recommend where can i restore my leather shoes? the color is starting to faded now. around KL or selangor area.

Can I wear leather shoes in winter? Will be going to Tokyo next January and definitely will be stepping on snow. Will it damage my shoes? Or should I just wear normal casual shoes to there?

hi, can recommend me a pair of long lasting formal shoes?

Im doing sales job, have to walk in to different companies every day, i walk a lot.

my formal shoes dont really last, average 3 months need to change as the shoes separate into half, lol, terbuka.

i thinking of boots to replace formal shoes.

U need boots...red wing!

Get the cheapest pair you can find and change every 3 months. At that kinda mileage good shoes wont last too long either

Get 3 pairs. Rotate them so that each shoe gets 2 days rest between wears. Brush them before and after every use. Put them in shoe trees when not in use.

That's basic shoe maintenance.

For individual shoes that last longer, get something that is not 100% reliant on glue. Shoes that are constructed using Goodyear welted, Blake-Rapid, or similar.

P.Lal store in Jalan Gasing is the best place in KL to get such shoes. If not in your budget, 3 pairs of Bata shoes maintained as above will still go a long way.

Just like our Malaysian rain, if your shoes get soaked, allowing them to dry naturally (don't force it with added heat) before you wear them again is key to the health of the shoe.

In winter, there is the added concern of salt stains from the salt most Councils add to their roads during winter. I don't have personal experience with this but I've read that a mixture of water and white vinegar can be used to wipe the stains away.

Salt stains are PITA. I usually take my rubber soled shoes out instead.. ones I could bash about. Mix with rain and it's a perfect storm.

Try Year end sale going in AEON or Parkson. You may be able to snag a good leather shoes and decent prices. I bought most of mine around these times anyway. And I walk a lot too.

Think the above is the best answer you can get. Also plan on buying them every few months and build your shoe base if you're not able to afford all of them at once.
