Looks good!! Where can we get them from in Malaysia?

Haven’t seen them available in Malaysia. I’ve only ordered MTO from TLB themselves, or bought in-store from Yeossal in Singapore.

How much does this cost?

I paid 548 SGD (approx. 1700 MYR) in-store from Yeossal. They're on sale now on their website.

What are your views on them? From the net they are top of the line for TLB Mallorca but very competitive price wise.

I can't comment much as my personal experience with dress shoes is limited to only Meermin, but these are at least a step up from Meermin, with much better leather and build quality, probably on par or slightly better than Carmina. Break in time was minimum and they're very comfortable.

I have 2 other pairs of TLB Artistas in their slim city rubber sole (one Adelaide cap toe MTO through them) which are amazing because of the durability and grip compared to leather soles. Going forward I would get their rubber soled options except for the most formal types of shoes, just more practical for Malaysian weather haha.

It's a relatively easy job that any cobbler shop can do. Just a matter of workmanship. I personally ask for no nails and no stitching. Just contact cement.

Any photos of past installations you had done? I want them to be flush with the sole which requires cutting off a layer of the leather sole, I think most cobblers just stick a rubber piece on top of the sole.
