for the price I would go for a custom made shoe here: leather lining, insole and sole of your choice -rubber, leather you name it.  And they make it to your choice of design, of course within their range of skill.

Where? USJ 8 around Restaurant Syed. 

Patronize local products. and how much you might ask? rm200 and above depending on your choice of design and accessories.

I am a happy customer.  And they make ladies shoes and boots too, not only for men.

Hey Sifus! I have a few leather shoes and i take good care of them but i do not know which product should i use i was about to polish my hugo boss oxford shoes today and this question came to my mind after looking through all the products i have for shoes

[attachmentid=1248330]

Heres the picture!

from left to right

Tarrago- Protects against liquid - for all kind of leather

PALC - Self Shining shoe cream for Dark Brown Shoes

Kiwi - Colour Shine Brown Instand Polish

Minit - Cleans, protects and cares in an instant

Aldo - Instant Gloss

Woly - Fashion Leather Cream for Black Shoes

After polishing a shoe do you remove the old polish and polish it all over again?

Or do you polish over the the previous polishes?

Thank you very much!

I suck in taking good cares for me shoes but i love them =)

hi guys..i'm 21 this year and i'm looking for a black men's leather shoe which comes with nice stylish design and comfortable at the same time..any brand recommendations and where can i get it from? budget around RM 350 - RM 400..thanks

very disappointing.

however looking at rm350k jimmy choo heels is something though.

P. LAL is a store (or used to have a store in jln tar in kl) which sells shoes, and i mean real shoes like how kotmj puts it. They carry crockett and jones, cheaneys and loakes. They now operate in an apartment at perkarangan tun ismail in kl but will be moving soon to a proper store in jln gasing, pj.

I prefer single but I know some gents in here prefer double.

Pictures or it never happen 

a pair of c&j lowndes in dark brown is what i have been eyeing actually...but not so soon yet, maybe in a couple of months and i hope they still have my size in stock.

lanatir, how do u find the 348 last (it seems more elongated) compared to the 337 last? ur opinion on the lowndes?

all new.
Top 4 are my dads.
btm 2 are mine.
too bad my feet arent the same size, other wise can pau his shoes. lol

Yeah got. diff polishing colors and own horse hair brushes too.

he hasnt bought any new shoes for few years. might as well get em one shot. heh heh

can anyone describe the tools he uses?

These are my shoes, gentlemen.

Goodyear-welted brown patent leather shoes. I believe the style of leather cut is called a 'wholecut' unless I'm mistaken. The thing I like about it is that it's Goodyear-welted, but has rubber soles factory-fitted. Perhaps these guys knew that the shoes will get heavy use in a tropical environment. 



Sorry it's just a phone pic.

That does not look like patent leather either. It should be as glossy as those NS shoes.

What is the make?

Anytime! It's actually a factory but there's a little shop in there with all sorts of mostly military shoes.

OLG1010 is a good buy. Don't expect fine workmanship though. These are high-volume MILITARY contract shoes.

However, from about 1metre+ away, once polished up they look not to far off much more expensive examples.

I've since added a Vibram sole to the front. The thinner ones seem to work better. Cost me RM50 at KLCC.
