To go with jeans, chinos and black trousers... different looks.

The chestnust white will look good with chinos, light blue shirt and Ralph Lauren navy blue blazer for instance. The black white will look good with black trousers, plain white shirt plus a black & white polka dot day cravat.

These are additions to the shoes I bought last month, namely black Gucci brogues, black Gucci oxfords, tan Gucci chelsea boots, black Givenchy Chelsea boots and tan Tod's slip.

Just starting out... cool2.gif

Hi, wondering if anyone of you here has any experience with shoe stretching services? i have a pair of C&J and sent it to the cobbler in ikano power centre (good store, but it took around two weeks to stretch the shoe and still not done). i took it back after roughly 12 days, tred it at the store, was fine, and this morning, it seems to be "tight" again.

anyone has any idea where/ what i should do to stretch the shoe? it's slightly snug cos i have a weird right foot. Thanks in advance.

Shoes like these are often uncomfortable for several months before breaking in.

You can buy shoe stretchers, saturate your shoe with Saphir Renovatuer, and stretch them. Or try a different cobbler.

thanks for the reply. think i'll bear with it for the mean time, as it felt okay yesterday, snug but not unbearable.

"tight but not unbearable" is about right, in 6 months of regular wear they will fit fine.


Added on February 24, 2011, 10:35 pmThere is a reason why I'm so partial to 2nd hand shoes.
