Meaning? after time to time it will getting better? hmmm..will do it then

meaning instead of doing it one round (or layer), do more.

Anyone know online shops to get reasonably priced shoe trees?

Where do you topy it in Msia?

Most cobblers can do it. This pair I just sent it to a neighborhood cobbler that was subletting a restaurant, in a cubicle with 3 plywood walls. The finishing was not great.

My Cheaney I sent to a cobbler in a mall. Quite satisfied with the end result.

Ic. I am still considering where to send for topy. Most using vibram sole. Most likely go with vibram sole but got to wait to break in my shoes first. Thanks

Probably ZintanthraX can share which seller?

Anywhere got sales for shoes? Been looking for comfortable shoes for office wear

How did you guys can tahan wear shoes for so long? Insole tak rosak ke?

Ah you meant actual Topy brand? The neighborhood cobbler didn't have it but the mall cobblers, including Mister Minit chain, does.

1. Rotate. 2-3 pairs is good enough.

2. Shoe care and maintenance. Use trees, condition, change toplift of heels before they wear into the next lift, etc.

I know what you are thinking of when you say insole tak rosak. My dress shoes don't have that kind of insole that you are thinking of. The insole is a relatively thick piece of leather that is almost (almost because unfortunately , I know the difference between handwelted and Goodyear welted shoes) part of the structure of the shoe. On top of this is glued a paper thin leather cover called a sock or sock liner. Some are full length and some are half, both can be replaced.

Because I'm used to walk quite a lot, and actually like to wear good looking leather shoes as well. make me feel that I looks better heh heh

but then because walking quite a lot, the insole takes alot of beating...and yeah worn out

Yeah I walk a lot too. One of my shoes, I've almost worn out the rubber outsole that I got the cobbler to glue onto the leather outsole. (What I call Topy but is actually cap ayam rubber).

And I'm a heavy fella. >90kg on most days.

Little to no wear that I can see on the insole.

the seller's name is AUDEW. here's the link for the shoe trees

Is it correct that it is not cedar wood?

correct. cedar wood have the beautiful scent coming from it. this one doesn't. but i do read somewhere, any type of wood would do good in terms of absorbtion. might be wrong but i dont really care though lol.

Hey thanks.
How long did it take to arrive since the shipper's overseas.
No size for me though. Might just grab one from a local store.

iinm around 2-3 weeks. maybe you can search for other sellers in lazada. price wise i think almost similar to the one i posted earlier.
