Here is what he did: 1. Put new cork n. 2. Goodyear stitched a new JR Middle Sole 3. Glued on a a thin...- crwecko

Best Shoe Repair in USA or Send Abroad?
Thanks for the recommendation. Orinda Shoe Repair actually looks very decent with 5 stars. I've heard mixed reviews about B. Nelson - they have a really poor rating on Yelp of only 3 stars and lots of complaints. People here on this forum have commented that they've gone down hill too. will...- crwecko

Comment by 'crwecko' in article 'Why the Four-in-hand is always better than the windsor knot'
The windsor looks so much better in this example. Much cleaner and more rounded. I don't like when ties are creased like that in the middle. Looks cheap/cheesy to me (-_-)- crwecko

Best Shoe Repair in USA or Send Abroad?
Hello Everyone. I wanted to get my John Lobb Becketts resoled and rehealed since I can't afford to buy a new pair right now and was wondering if anyone can recommend some shoe repair places that would do it on the level of a high end cobbler. John Lobb wants to charge $450 to send them back to...- crwecko

Place for ReHealing and ReSoling in the USA (SF Bay Area)?
I looked on Yelp and it seems B Nelson has somehow gone down hill and has horrible Yelp reviews. I'm not sure what's happening. Is there anything in the SF Bay Area where they can do really good repairs of my Lobbs?- crwecko

Meermin Mallorca Shoes
This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. The design is exquisite and the quality of leather (French Calf) looks great. At $395 and free 2-5 day shipping and free returns, it's a real steal, especially for being Made in Spain. Looks more like the a fancier version of Meermin's Linea...- crwecko

Meermin Mallorca Shoes
Wow, you really don't know what you're talking about crwecko. First of all, you really can't put Meermin in the same league and Lobb and Green. I have no idea where you get that idea./quote] Their leather has often been compared to the leather that Lobb and Edward Green uses. I'm not comparing...- crwecko

Meermin Mallorca Shoes
They might be a lot better made, but the leather doesn't look that great from the photo's, besides Lobb, Edward Green, and a couple of others, most English shoes feel and look plasticky and cheap in comparison to my Beckett's... The quality of John Lobb and Edward Green leather is 10x that...- crwecko

Meermin Mallorca Shoes
Thank you but the leather on those still looks cheap in comparison to Meermin. I want the kind of soft French/German calf that are used by Meermin, John Lobb, Edward Green, etc... I was looking at the Grenson Trent, but I'm not sure if the leather is on that level. I have gotten used to my...- crwecko

Meermin Mallorca Shoes
Common Knowledge is not the same thing as transparency. And it's ONLY common knowledge among a select few, if I was a consumer and wanted to buy their shoes, I would assume they are made in Mallorca since they depict that in their online videos and marketing. A company should be transparent...- crwecko

Meermin Mallorca Shoes
Meermin Mallorca - Made in China - My Story I purchased a pair of Meerming Mallorca shoes and a few belts from Meermin a few months ago. At the time, I thought that Meermin made their products completely in Spain, but became suspicious when I didn't see a "Made in Spain" sign on the box or...- crwecko

Meermin Mallorca Shoes
You mean subtract one since they are sold in UK sizes on the Meermin site? So the 6-5 last is the same fit, width and length wise? I have a really wide foot with no arch which is why I ask...- crwecko

Meermin Mallorca Shoes
Thank you, yes I think they are on the 8000 last. It took me a while to break the Lobbs in, and the first week they were hard to walk in, but now they are super comfy (tiny bit loose on the back but nothing a small sticky insert didn't fix), in fact the comfiest dress shoes I own. I sent...- crwecko

Meermin Mallorca Shoes
Can anyone advise me on what size I should buy for these? I normally wear a John Lobb Beckett in UK 9E (they are comfortable enough width wise, but a bit long, I can't go any narrower than them). What would the equivilent in these be? I'm debating between getting 8.5, 9, and 9.5 (they say E+ but...- crwecko
