What don't you like about Starwax?

The prodigal son returns!

Too soft. Didn't seem like it was adding anything to the surface of the leather.

It served well for me, very comfortable after it breaks in a few wears. No issue on the running dye and discoloration. Rubber sole might consider Dainite sole on a Cheaney, good for raining weather now.

Np, you don't really need expensive generic shoe trees as most would do the job. I usually prefer full cedar wood shoetrees and can be had for quite reasonable prices.

There are some fancier ones and some supplied by the shoemakers themselves. I tend to spend a bit more on manufacturers shoetrees on my more expensive shoes.
Tbh they all do the same job.

Get shoetrees from taobao,full cedar shoe trees cost rm40 a pair there,find ones with high reviews

I don't like to buy from Lazada coz they don't label products properly

wow, never know there's a great discussion here until i search around for leather care info for my shoe

hi guys, i've learned my lesson the hard way for not maintaining my leather shoe properly, they have cracked & damaged and there's nothing i could about it

anyway, i just purchase a pair of brown leather shoe yesterday, should i put on some wax or any leather care product before wearing it?

thanks in advance..

the paste version is good for spit shine as it has plenty of oils.

Hi gents of the thread, I have just purchased a pair of Kulitkraf brogue goodyear welts today. I was actually quite apprehensive as they initially looked rather bulbous and short, hence not so stylish. But I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the shoe in the flesh, since I was a UK10, this made the proportions longer and looked less bulbous. Stitching is not perfect and some blemishes can be seen on the corrected leather. But overall for RM130, a great steal!

Gents, how are you guys resist the temptation of Black Friday!!! Help

Wow! 130 very cheap. Have to go to their kilang to buy? Did you see other models?

New shoes. I was expecting the colour to be darker with red undertones though. It came out almost tan.

A pair of John Lobb!

Anyone bought from Ernest Collective from Singapore? Any reviews on the full grain leather? Looking to buy a pair of rubber soled Oxfords.

Yes, their kilang is at PJ near Seapark. Just google Kultikraf and you'll find it. I did see them start producing a few other trendier non-black models. This particular pair of brown brogues were quite eye-catching, unfortunately stuck on and only available for batch orders of 300 and more. I dropped my name there to see if they could slip in one order if ever somebody made a bulk order



They also had another pair of dark brown plain toe oxfods, mass made for UMW, comfier but stuck on type.

Nice bro.. Where u get it and what is the damage?

Looks like I gotta go pay a visit to find my next pair of shoes

Saphir Pommadier to the rescue.

I am not there yet, still Carmina/Carlos Santos/Loake kinda level.

And my Carmina's are still in the drawers, waiting to be used for the wedding this weekend.

Gonna Saphir it later and pair it with my Massdropp-ed N&F perhaps

CONGRATULATION!!!! Yeah, better buy whatever want to buy before getting married, one more week to #YOLO!!!
