beautiful. now get some shoe trees in them.

were they a display pair?

on 2nd thought, they look horrible. absolutely disgusting.

i will do you a favour and take them off you for RM400. you're welcome.

(i just noticed they are my size)

or trickers

i thought i had seen those socks with brown suede loafers somewhere before.

if sembilan really didn't copy you, perhaps you guys could be soulmates?

looking for a pair of double monks. at the moment i am pretty set on lowndes in dark brown.

does anyone know of anything else i should consider before i pull the trigger?

will be going to europe on business. hopefully i have the time to get it when i am there. otherwise, i will come back here and order it online.

mmmm

the itch...

monks/double monks are slip-ons.

there could possibly be a situation where one would want to unbuckle them before removal, such as when there are people waiting for you.

silverstan has a point. if your md shows up to a black tie event with his rolex explorer and you show up with a gold plated casing black leather strap tissot or longines, you are going to win hands down.

so...



beats



?

so if the staff is wearing a lange, and the md is wearing a swatch, md still wins? i suppose in a way md cannot lose lah. but we are looking at the perspective of an outside who was no idea of each person's position/rank.

anyway, this is a shoe topic. so, what do you guys think - if i have a certain budget for shoes, and i can afford 2 pairs of paul smith, OR 1 pair of C&J, which should i go for?

finishing looks extremely poor. i am pretty sure the leather is corrected grain. i wouldn't do it.

hard to tell with such dark colours, but i doubt it.

was checking out some overpriced church's at isetan over the weekend. finishing wasn't the best.

p lal doesn't carry church's. at least i don't think they do.

the shoes i picked up were from 3k onwards. there were some on discount, 30% was the maximum if i remember correctly.

ever since p lal ran out of nice looking c&js in my size, i have written off ever buying a nice pair of shoes in malaysia.

will be traveling next month. budget & luggage space permitting, i will bring back a pair or 2.

silverstan, the bottom row does not belong in the same photograph as that top row.

chetwynds and hallams?

looks like you take good care of them. when are you adding to your collection?

mmm

you're shitting me right? right???

at Tods?

yes, please.
