Hi. I'm new to formal wear.. may I know where can I get decent formal shoes? Just checked plal, cheapest shoes 600, loake.. just starting wear formal.. dont think wanna spend that much yet..

Update: I sometimes walk in raining, wet condition..

another Yanko from the Black Friday. got it from patine.pl. Its Yanko year for me. lol. BTW both of them fits my foots real well and worth every penny in my opinion especially during sales

These are just incredible for 172 US shipped. I also have an order on the way from Skolyx, from their Black Friday sale, but I think it's for other brands. I've long been wanting to pull the trigger on Yanko, though, as I think they may unfairly be falling into some middle category -- as in, they seem to be a step up (and thus not as great a value?) as something like Meermin, but not as much a step up as something like Carlos Santos (and thus not as interesting at the price). But gosh, you just got those for less than the cost of Meermins, and I have no doubt that they are considerably higher quality. I need to get some soon! Please do let us know how they wear.

Someone mentioned Carlos Santos?

Got my package from Skolyx. I finally decided to try a lazyman, given the great sale on Yanko:





I'm quite impressed with the finishing at a mere 155 dollars. I'm also digging the style and am glad I finally gave it a shot. It seems that no matter how many oxfords I have, I always seem to go to the loafers for daily wear, so maybe this will dress up my loafer game a bit. Really digging the color, too. Can't wait to take them on a maiden voyage!

Also in the box were Yanko suede chelseas, on sale for 167 USD:



Now here you can right away see, on the right toe, some finishing that is not so nice. I suspect I'll take care of that on the first wear, though. Other pics:

And finally, from TLB Mallorca (but not the Artista ranga) a windtip adelaide in brown vegano, on sale for 211 USD:

Now where to get some nice and cotton rich socks?
