Hi all in need of some guidance

Am thinking of getting these Meermin's for work https://www.meermin.es/in_en/10150910190000...lf-e-negro.html

Will probably go for rubber sole since KL's weather is so unpredictable. My question is does anyone know the sizing I should go for in the Hiro last? My usual size is 42 euro or Loake's size 8 UK in Matrix/F fit. Also how are customs taxes for leather shoes since it's my first time ordering leather shoes from overseas.

Hey man thanks for the offer for help! Unfortunately I didn't go through with the Hiro last and instead went for these pair of cap toe oxfords; https://www.meermin.es/in_en/10143010190000...lf-e-black.html

Comes in the Rois last and is supposedly an amalgamation of the Hiro last so I went for size 8 UK (I'll find out one way or another if it fits 😅). The customs thing sucks but the cost even after tax ought to still be cheaper than a Loake 1880 due to Meermin's free international shipping promo last week. Currently still stuck in China for a few days now though :/

Just received them at the office! Absolutely in love with it. For anyone here looking for Meermin sizing, my shoes are normally 42 euro, 8UK on Loakes F fit. I choose 8 UK on the ROIS last and it fits like a glove. Will post pics up later but suffice to say I'll definitely be getting from them again in the future! ( also the shipper in China apparently under declared the shoe value so I didn't even get charged for import duty )

Mine is in the Matrix last which is slightly wider than Capital I believe.

Saw this at the shoe section for Parkson Pavi


Famaco Cirage De Luxe (Made in France)



Had a look at the ingredients and what popped up was Saphirs Pate De Luxe (Ingredients Sheet). Cost of this was about RM18 so basically Pate De Luxe clone for 1/5th the price?

Anyone tried out this polish before? Curious if performance is similar.

Spent an hour with the Famaco and this is what happened.



I'll probably buff out the micro scratches some other time but otherwise what do you guys think?

Nope, usual retail price. Found it at the shoe section on Level 5 of Parkson Elite @ Pavi.
You should. They have other imported brands as well but I wasn't too sure if I wanted to pick it up haha

I’ve got a pair of Loake’s in the same condition. Good reminder that a bit of TLC goes a long way

Gents. I have a pair of Loakes that have seen its fair share of wear and tear including heavy discolouration (brown tan) and scratch marks. Was wondering if anyone have cobblers to recommend in and around KL/Selangor area that can do the job justice ? Used to frequent SG Wang and IPC even before that so on the same quality if possible
