quote=attacusatlas,Aug 15 2010, 10:26 PM]thanks for the information. it is very much appreciated.

i saw a few J&M at the local store, selling well below rm600 per pair and i thought it was a good deal. i didn't check where were they made of. however, after given a deep thought, i went for something from uk, something i am familiar with, something not SF approved.
[/quote]

which UK brand?

J&M is expensive here < 600RM!
I am thinking of A Testoni.. Italian.. anyone have experience with them?
something like the design below.

whats SF approve?
J&M here is sure expensive, US is like everyday brand

thats a new term. Do sartorialist judge fashion? my limited googling skills didn't seem to pt to that.

aren't berluti, john lobb etc luxury brands??? a quick google they are not any cheaper than lux brands such as Paul smith, Hugo Boss etc.
they cost more than a custom made shoes by a unknown shoe maker in Italy!
these lux brand go again the "holy bible" the Satan of shoe fashion?

seem like this is their only approved list. wear something and still need to seek approval to feel good. wow..really need help man.

Drive and still phone to surf!!! Very dangerous man, lyn can wait when u are off the wheels.
Kill some one cause this not worth it man, heck a accident for this damaging your car also not worth it.

I like them just ordered another 2 paired on their tent event sale

Not really, my shoes take more abuse lol
Have to endure rain, snow and lots of walking. Not a banker or VP to wear usd$500-2k shoes around. No matter how good is the handy work or how good is the leather I doubt they can take such abuse.

Going where in Europe?
Many brands suggested are uk alot brands cheaper in uk compared to the rest if EU.
Going Budapest can get Vass.
Spain maybe mermin
Italy u can find local shoemaker to custom make shoes.

Depending where u are going shoes to look out for is a little different

Timberland outlet!
AE u have to email cacmail@allenedmonds.com, give then your size and they will get back to u what's avail.
U have to call them at (800) 235-2348 to order.
They don't ship overseas so u have to use a mail forwarder to get your stuff. Good thing is shipping in the states is free with no min order!

Really? This is commonly done by dudes on style forum to prolong life. Are those wrong?
