Nice-what make are they?

Nice hat and shoes, I actually got the herring hampstead semi-brogue which are rebranded Loake 1880s, excellent customer service... only 3 working days from UK to Melbourne. Here they are... mind the slight scuffs, I have not gotten round to giving them a polish yet...

In regard to winter boots, I'm also interested in a getting one soon for winter, but I think I'll get a leather one and probably topy it. Not sure if you know this, but if you spend over 100GBP on herring shoes you can actually use a coupon code to claim a free pair of cedar shoe trees (like the ones in my shoes). not sure if they're any use for boots tho but hey, they're free..... . Oh and they also  included shoe bags, a shoe horn and a tin of tan polish....

I'm thinking of visiting northampton when I head up to Europe next year, hopefully it'll coincide with the period the shoemakers go on sale as well... but for now, I'm keen on getting one or two more basic shoes for everyday wear. Probably more from their Herring classic range

Love those semi-brogues you have though, what make, last and fit are they? (I'm a wide-fit which unfortunately limits the types of shoes I can wear... )

thanks, beau.

those are paul smith in oxblood.

those are nice pair.

Thanks! love those oxblood Paul Smiths and the socks!   I really need to invest in the socks department as well....ahaha....

thanks. socks are by happy socks.

btw, how did you get the discount coupon for the herring shoes that you bought? i can't seem to find any info on free shoe tree and shoe wax.

the long winding one? i think there were deleted due to the breach of words limitation.

Mr Acorn looks like a giant butt plug.

No, the ones where I made reference to one of the mods.

I shall prescribe myself with ten "Hail Mary"s to cleanse my thoughts. They are garden ornaments mind you. Perhaps you need to take your dog for a walk to get your mind off certain things.

I believe some higher end (i.e. mainline) Paul Smith shoes are made by Grenson. Under the Grenson label, it's about a good 30% cheaper but you miss out on some colourful trimmings.

Personally, I'm no longer a fan of Bicester as it's just too crowded with people hoarding out polo-Ts and ugly shirts from Burberry (I only like their trenches and certain coats) or Armani. Northampton is a good idea but it is quite a journey from London. However, my company may ship me off there for a couple of weeks and I can take that opportunity for shoe shopping.

P.S. - 3ff3z8e, do you mind sharing the discount code with me? I shall buy myself an early Christmas present.

ah, thanks for sharing.

i only know PS mainline shoes (made in UK) used to be produced by Cheaney but not for those made in Italy.

any comment on the quality & comfort of Scholl men's office leather shoes ? cost RM200 to RM255 each

so far I love Rockport office shoes....very comfortable with addidas DMX cushion technology

anyone knows how much does the cobbler at ikano charge for continental corso?

anyway, would it defeat the whole purpose of having leather sole shoes? i find that leather sole is quick brutal to my feet.

furthermore, it tends to create attention whilst walking. whenever i enter the office, my immediate superior, the head of company, always raise his head watching me until i enter my room.
