QUOTE(stfsoelyn @ Oct 31 2019, 02:46 PM) Hi, niakulah. I did not need to buy yet, but browsed around Lazada! BTW, been meaning to ask, where can I get Vibram or Topy shoe protectors (half soles)? For DIM (do it myself). Any idea? I'm sure the local cobblers will sell them to you if you ask. I've never bought from them, but I've had this shop in my bookmarks for some time now. Mostly because they sell metal toe plates and the brass screws for them. https://www.leatherandgrindery.com/index.ph...ute=common/home |

QUOTE(stfsoelyn @ Oct 31 2019, 10:01 AM) Yes, there is cedar aroma. QUOTE(niakulah @ Oct 31 2019, 10:31 AM) Yes it does. Not sure if it helps, but I like it. FWIW, my first shoetree from Loake was not cedar and the shoe I'm using it with smells fine. I do take good care of my shoes though. Now I am thinking to get from shoe tree project or mr minit now haha |

QUOTE(Adrian_Alastair @ Oct 31 2019, 12:20 PM) I have both type of shoe tree, MUJI one and from STP. Both will have cedar smell when new. I read up that to return the smell you need to use sand paper to scrub it, but in the end I didn't manage to get the cedar smell back. Now just using them to prevent moisture build up and retain shape of the leather. I see. |

Just to share. Left to right. Loake non cedar - 5yo Loake cedar - 4yo Loake cedar - 3yo Mr Minit cedar -1yo All of the cedar ones still smell good. Never sanded them or added essential oils. Although the 5 year old one smells mossy...

QUOTE(yehlai @ Oct 28 2019, 11:46 PM) Their horse hair brush is very reasonable priced I have a few of their smaller horse hair brushes and always they always lose their hairs and the hairs are quite hard and abrasive. I have a larger Florsheim horse hair brush and it’s the best brush I’ve used. Very fine soft hairs I used for daily touch-ups |

Saphir brush is a bit expensive, hope Florsheim is also available in shopee |

They has a few pattern choices Was a shame to cover up the v-cleat heels but on office marble floors it was like I was ice-skating |

May I know what is your budget that is reasonable to you? Around RM 200+ ? I believe Clarks are quite okay for budget shoes, can top up a bit and buy during sales. |
