Depends on your definition of formal. My office's dress code is business casual. I wear dress shirts, dress pants, dress shoes, no jacket, no tie. In this context that kind of shoe is acceptable, although it would be way better if it had no logo and laces instead of zip.

In my office, formal is what you wear to the annual Christmas Ball. Black tie.

Ok. Acceptable for your dress code.

Acceptable doesn't mean good though....as a matter of fact I think it's hideous.

First off, apologies for the amount of pics I'm about to post. 
Here are the photos as promised. Picked it up from the London store after 3-4 months wait. It should have been quicker but there were some delays in the factory but it was worth the wait. I went back and forth trying out various ideas and colours. Some were pretty bold but decided to settle on something I could wear often rather than occasionally. I may go back to the initial idea of Navy with Aubergine spectators on the next pair.

Comes in a nice big box, with magnetic latch.

Comes with lasted shoes trees as well. The shoe looks a bit too green here, I need to white balance the camera next time.

and shoe care. I believe the wax polish is saphir, abbeyhorn shoe horn, extra laces, polishing cloth. The shoe bags are different as well, it has a nice satin finish to it.

The green is quite difficult to capture. Here are a few more which closer to how it should look like.

I wanted purple lining but it wasn't available so green it is. I also specified copper foil in the stamp

Personalised to your name or another other nick names/rude remarks

and lastly the sole. Option for full or half. I went for half purple sole but looks more reddish instead.
Closed channel and beveled waist, similar to Cheaney's Imperial line.

Really beautiful Cheaneys and good call on the green. With time and age, i believe they will age beautifully. The wax polish is not Saphir but DASCO. They manufacture shoe care products for most English makers.

Hello Guys, understand that there are several shoe care related questions here. If anyone needs any clarification regarding usage of Saphir, please feel free to post them. I'll try my best to answer them!

Saphir Mirror Gloss is supposed to make it easier. It's a new product and I haven't tried it, although bro Kelvw has.

If you see my photo a few posts above, that was done using the standard Saphir wax polish. I've tried it with local Kiwi as well, but the result was not as good.

The standard Saphir wax polish, aka the Pate de luxe is a softer wax that has some nourishing properties and is already very good at achieving Mirror Shine.

The new Mirror Gloss has a harder touch and is slightly harder to work with, but coupled with the right techniques. You can drastically reduce the time taken to mirror shine your shoes by as much as 50%. We have done trials on several dress shoes and whipping up a mirror shine is 30 minutes is not an issue!

Maybe we should organise a Shoe Shine Workshop in KL soon!
