May I know where can I get reasonably priced Shoe Horn and Shoe Tree in Malaysia?
Thank you.

Bata has a cheap shoe horn. Daiso has a good selection too.

What kind of shoe trees are you looking for(plastic, cedar, any wood, split toe or solid) and what is your definition of reasonable?

I use a portable shoe horn from Muji. The one with the Alif metal finish. It costs around RM26 and it’s portable.

Dear bros, like to get your opinions here. I just bought a pair of leather men shoes from a recent Europe trip.

Wondering if it is advisable to add rubber sole to existing leather sole to make it longer lasting, more comfortable and less slippery? If yes, any recommended cobblers and estimated cost?

thanks a lot for sharing! smile.gif

After a few wears I put in rubber soles on top of leather. Try easy 99 station. Less than RM100

Hi all sifu2 and bros, recently i visit 'Jalan Jalan Japan' , a Japanense thrift shop in Malaysia and I found some USED Good Year Welted shoes selling at RM50 only, but I don't know how to differentiate the leather quality. Any sifu here mind to share or teach me some tips ? Thanks in advance. smile.gif

That looks more like the leather has been burnished by friction rather than a stain. And the fact that the debossed hush puppies wording does not have the same "stain" also supports my theory.

You can sand off the burnished surface, but you probably wouldn't like the result...

Anyone can recommend nice service boots? Currently aim for this but didn't find any nice website that can ship to Malaysia. Preferred in Dark Brown.

Hi Bros, I have just received my Vibram rubber soles purchased from Taobao. Is it better to add/stick the rubber soles with glue (assuming using glue is better than stitching it on the shoes) while brand new or after wearing it for several times? thanks a lot!

I wore my shoes a few times before adding the rubber soles.

Greetings everyone

I have a question for all you sifus.

I am troubled since I bought my first pair of Loake 1880s coupla weeks ago (from PLal, where else?). After a couple of
wears, trying to break in the shoes (about 20 minutes each time), when I took a look at the sole, I was pretty shocked to
find that the sole stitches near the toe were actually flattened, by being in contact with the ground! There was no wear
in the sole at the toe area, but it seems the stitch channel is so shallow, that the stitching threads actually stand proud
of the rest of the sole, and strike the ground with each step. This happened to both right and left shoes.

My question: Will this cause premature failure of the sole stitching, cos to my mind, the constant abrasion must eventually
tear and break the threads, at the toe (without the sole being worn down much). Is this a case of manufacturing defect
getting past Loake QC? I had speaks with Sham, the PLal boss, but he just said it's "normal", and "no problem", and that
if I was really concerned, to stick a rubber half-sole on, but I am not convinced.

(BTW, is this the way to post: by hitting FastReply? Again, first time posting!)

Nope, if you're concerned like many here I always apply toe taps or half rubber sole before I wear my new shoes.
