haha u still remember? i kept those 60th edition in malaysia. and they're US10.

so the lauta now is leather?

what is suede? there are a few good reads about it but through my understanding, suede comes from splits of leather thus making it less durable than pure/full grain leather itself.
that soft, almost fluffy kind of texture u get from suede is a result of harshly rubbing it, almost like sanding a wood.
anyway, the lauta's leather are not from cows. they're from sheeps. even the leather of nippon (handmade) mexicos are from sheeps.

ooohhhhhh, now i get it.
means now the new kicks are using different material?

generally yeah, too expensive for pure leather.

i see.
but i'll still check it out and see how it looks.
haha. any other recommendations for OT kicks?

so heavy heart to wear my Ot for working hour...hmm... maybe will get a lauta for working hour...mexico 66 for casual @ date @ courting gal used ! XD

lol what is ur current OT. lauta is more expansive fyi compared to normal mexico 66

i saw lauta also selling at RM349 ... if im not mistaken ... i prefer the mexico 66 more then lauta ... somemore mexico 66 is more suitable for casual wear... lauta is like sport @ jogging shoe...

i would personally recommend those special colourway that are not available in malaysia. but ultimately, decision is up to u, like how much are u willing to spend, to what extend does the sneaker makes you comfortable, and etc.

u are right.

don't think OTs are pricey (generally ppl here can afford to buy one after 4-5 hours work)
the brand itself is rich in history. things that are rich in history tends to be more expensive don't u think?
careful selection of materials coupled with simple designs meant they're more durable. i'm still wearing my 1st pair of OT, which is like 8 years old already.. or maybe 9.
u have to think about the decision of pricing too. what if OTs were like RM100 shelf price? the brand itself would be worthless and ppl might think that it's a lousy brand, not worth getting and etc.

hmm... so r they more comfortable than other sneaker's brand for example zara or lacoste?? which series of OT u would recommend in terms of style?
sry for the questions cuz kinda new to OT

according to other OT users that have tried other shoes, they said OT is the best, until now.
in terms of style, if ure wearing normal sneakers such as converse or 'slim cut' shoes, u might wanna try mexico 66, mexico 66 lauta, or mexico 66dx.
if u prefer a more bulky shoes, u should check out ultimate81 series.

Have to agree that OT is really comfy compares to other sneakers.
Most ppl will go for Mexico 66.. Still in love with my Mexico 66 Deluxe.

Go for lauta .. More comfy

really thx for all the advice given, will consider it when decided to buy a pair of sneaker...

woot! finally i found this.

Shoes

good buy? but its leather?

why is lauta more comfy?
