Please explain this theory of yours, I use a plastic shoe tree for a my C&J in case you are wondering what is C&J its Crockett & jones.

Plastic shoe tree works fine if you get a proper one of course I would not argue that a wood shoe tree is better. It all balls down to how much you want to spend on a piece of accessory.

Might be a good idea to try Thomas Chan and his custom shoes. Is he at BSC or Great Eastern Mall? 

With due respect if one wishes to prolong the life of the shoe, one should try to rotate the use of the shoe by not wearing the same pair for more than 2 days in a row. Using the shoe trees when the shoe is not being worn would also help prolong their shape.

i have to say that i have shallow knowledge on shoes, well today i just bought a pair of "dunno what" shoes, and it happened to meet my all my requirement (i really meant it when i said it met all the criteria i have in my mind", i always wanted a brown and with the specific pattern which desired, unfortunately due to the problem i have with my toe, i hardly wear heel shoes, so the prerably would be flat base....

Problem now is, i really need to ask all the gurus here, which type of pants to suit this shoes?
and a little information bout this shoes to be taught also a great help to me...can't google up any information by itself...
giancarlo nori is the name 

IMO, Vass provides the best price-quality ratio there is in the market, esp. now with the hungarian forint in the shits...Good thing that the F last also happens to be my absolute favourite last.

I've built a pretty good rotation of cheap-ish shoes off SF, eBay and outlets, and hope to replace them slowly with only Vass. Hopefully the forint stays shit.

Show off time!

Chucks? Um.. Converse? 

Not sure if it comes from the gamma radiation from the scarf or the shoes

Good buy- what make are they? You may wish to "antique " the shoes. It will give it a nice patina & character ( see some previous postings here )

Women will look at your shoes!!

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

Hmm what's your budget? For RM119.90 you can get Goodyear-welted, corrected grain Oxford brogues at Kulitkraf. OLG1010 I think. I posted this earlier but BOHICA -

yesterday went to shopping mall and tried to put on some florshiem Imperial models. very comfortable and the build quality is good.
But price is almost 100 bucks extra than the price listed in their website.

Next Feb will go to Singapore, will check for other brands. Any recommended places to visit?
