I Heart Shoes. Over the years I bought a pretty wide range of shoes from sport sneakers to designer dress shoes. However, I don't think all shoes are really comfortable and stylish at the same time.

These are part of the shoes I owned and worn before.

Tod's Limited Edition Country Mocassino Gommini

user posted image

Comfort Level: 5/10
Tod's shoes are suppose to be stylish and perfect for jet setting exotic holidays. But, while I tried on the pair and worn for a day. It cause serious ache at the end of the day. The design I bought is not water resistant like most of the leather shoes. It will have some water stain on the leather once the shoes get water drops. So, it's quite troublesome sometimes. Especially, while raining, your heart just sank. So, now my 2 weeks old shoes looks quite dirty by now.

Brian Atwood Ontario Boot

user posted image

Comfort Level: 7/10
Brian Atwood is the current creative director for Bally. His own label Brian Atwood is worn by many hollywood celebrity such as Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardarshian and so on. This Ontario Boot is surprisingly very comfortable. Non of a single pair looks the same because of the tie-dye effect on the Suede boot. Hence, you need to take out all the available same size pair to choose the exact pair you love.

Bally Espadrilles

user posted image

Comfort Level: 4/10
Espadrilles is one of the best shoes for traveling. It is light and easy to wear on. However, this pair of lambskin Bally Espadrilles looks really cute but not comfortable to walk at all. The leather hurts the feet and the leather sole is not a walking friendly sole to walk.

Moreschi Lace Up

user posted image

Comfort Level: 4/10
This pair of Moreschi Lace Up is made of 2 different tone of brown leather and looks really stylish on jeans or suit. But, don't expect it to be comfortable. It's leather soles are not walking friendly.

Jil Sander Sandals

user posted image

Comfort Level: 3/10
Jil Sander is the only designer who create the most adorable sandals for every seasons. The looks very stylish but extremely painful. The first day I worn the shoes to school, I can't walk after 1/2 a day. After 7 months wearing it, I still feel very painful. But it's just too stylish.

Zegna Sport Sneaker

user posted image

Comfort Level: 8/10
Zegna Sport Sneaker is very comfortable and understated. Probably the only shoes I could run with it. But, design wise is very simple and not that stunning compare to a designer sneaker.

Puma x Neil Barrett 96 Hours Sneaker

user posted image

Comfort Level: 8/10
96 Hours is a range of Puma sports sneaker design by Neil Barrett. It's the best of both world for comfort and function. But it is less stylish compare to Puma by McQueen range.

Maison Martin Margiela DHL Sneaker

user posted image

Comfort Level: 7/10
The only Maison Martin Margiela Line 22 Sneaker I owned. I bought it purely because it's unique and a DHL design are pretty stunning. It's comfortable for a lambskin designs. The sneaker won't hurt your feet even it's a new pair.

Kotmj,

Do you think ALT would condescend making these trousers ( especially the white frilly ones ) for you?

Providing a review of shoes is a good contribution but posting the same thing in three different threads isn't. Kindly do not do that again.

Lovely shoes -I would also suggest that shoe trees be inserted before the shoes are packed for storage. Leaving them in boxes without silica gel is not a good idea in our climate. If the shoes are worn best keep them is a cupboard with ventilation .

EG's usually come with shoe bags which protects the leather from scratches when traveling or when placed in storage.

sweet!!!! nice shoes!

i have a question though.

how do you clean the soles before putting them in the carrier bag? i dont want the dirt and grime to go into the bag and goes around the shoes; damaging the leather and bag itself.

in the past, what i did was to dust the soles, wipe clean, air dry and wrap the soles only with those clear polystrene wraps sold in hardware shops. similar to those sandwich wraps, just not food grade.

works well, but turned out to be a lot of work especially if i am travelling.

Wow wtf - makes me feel like a barbarian. I just rub my shoes a few times on the doormat and put them in the cloth bags.

They are outsoles and were designed to take the abuse. IMO at least..

It depends on the type of sole. With rubber attachments that are now the norm, it's a case of wiping with a slightly damp cloth.

In the case of leather soles, you should not just clean the soles with but treat them with water proofing or leather oil -Try Colonnil Waterstop which is sold at Plal's .

I wouldn't suggest plastic wrappers as fungus might form if the soles are not properly dry. The good carrier bags are usually made of cotton .

Alternatively , you can buy shoe boxes with rear vents from Ikea to store your shoes. They come in a set of 4 .

The ultimate is to custom make a specially design shoe cabinet with camphor wood interior & tempered glass shelfs ( for easy cleaning ) The camphor wood will help eliminate bad smells & keep the fungus at bay . The shops that sell Chinese furniture will be happy to make one for you, PM me if you are interested in having this done.

leather soles in my case.

no, Beau, I am not referring to storing shoes in the house. i was talking about storing these shoes inside the cotton bag and in the suitcase when travelling.

regarding the cabinet to keep shoes in the house, i am thinking of getting 1 made also from teak wood, cant think of any design yet.


i just made 1 box to store my shoe care stuff from teakwood last week....yea yea i know i can easily use an old shoe box..LOL

i got it done here in Indonesia. Teak wood is plentiful here. I dont know about Malaysia. Initially i wanted to use Chengal wood, but nobody knows what i was talking about. anyway teak is way more than enough for shoe box or rack, in fact way overkill.

i paid only about USD40 plus to get it made.dirt cheap. it could be even cheaper i dont know.

i know for sure Malaysia would cost me more just to buy the wood.
