Hi all,

Also just got myself a pair of Loake Victor from Plal last week....my first Loake and loving it..
Cheers

just got these shoe trees from lazada. a step closer in taking care of my shoes.

P Lal in PJ
WJ and Co in BSC Bangsar

More affordable option:
Zeve near KLCC

They have loud options like camo. But I also see black, brown, and burgundy. I don't see how those are not classic colours.

Meermin has always been a good deal. Last I looked at them, there are lots of stories on styleforum about QC issues. But a lot of people received good shoes as well, until they started calling it the Meermin lottery - try your luck. Don't know if that has changed in the last 2 years.

Yes shoes are taxed.

IINM it should be 10%. But this being Malaysia, that might not be what you get charged. Depends on what seller/courier declared it as, and what the Kastam officer then interprets it as.

10% or whatever rate you end up getting will be on the total cost including shipping and insurance.

Unfortunately, Malaysia don't have anyone with this expertise yet, not that any of our shoe enthusiasts know of. Will have to send overseas to do.

patch rubber outsole on it if no one can do
I think some handbags repairs shop do it.. some people send Chanel handbags or shoes to repair.. can try ask

most cobbler or factory here don't bother to do.. because they say GYW cost is too high as need to invest GYW machines
probably higher chance if to find those GYW by hand cobblers.. but that's not going to be cheap
