    Shoe Upper Alteration Question

    This may be a silly question... Is it possible to alter something as intrinsic to a shoe as the strap on a loafer? To be exact, I found a pair of loafers I've been looking for a long time. BUT they're not full strap. And I really can only abide full strap loafers (personal taste). So am now...

    Resole New Shoes - Can You Use Any Sole?

    Thanks for the name drops, I was aware of Alden, but not really the others. Just checked them out. So cheers for that. I'll try to show you what kind of sole I've got in mind. This is the Rancourt (Alden do a very similar full strap by the looks of it). The sole is a bit chunky for my...

    Resole New Shoes - Can You Use Any Sole?

    Hi Fred, I've actually been in contact with Rancourt. Their customer service people seem very good, but unfortunately said they can not customise the actual sole - ie, make the heel smaller. They do have options for different soles, which I could choose from, but didn't have the option for what...

    Resole New Shoes - Can You Use Any Sole?

    Hi, I'm an amateur (and hence a lurker) compared to most of the posters on here, so forgive me if this is a silly question. I've been searching for a pair of penny loafers, found a pair of Rancourts that are 90% perfect, but I don't really like the sole. So my questions is, when you resole a...

    Recent Purchases (Classic menswear - formerly Men's clothing)

    With no semi-brogue Buckshots being produced in the Autumn collection form Cheaney, I had to settle for something else. Plumped for a pair of Barker Grants, a cedar tan kind of colour. I liked the complimentary light coloured sole and size/depth of the punchwork which seem to make it a bit...

    Gieves & Hawkes' Buckshot Brogue - Back soon!

    Not at all, I had an idea that they would only be doing the full brogue. No problems. Better to have some hope than none ;)

    Gieves & Hawkes' Buckshot Brogue - Back soon!

    Have spoken to G&H, it looks like they're only producing the full brogue which I wasn't as keen on as the semi-brogue Buckshots. So it's either keep praying to find a pair on ebay or plump for a different brand of semi brogue which I may never love quite as much.

    Gieves & Hawkes' Buckshot Brogue - Back soon!

    Hello folks, I'm new to this here forum, so forgive me for jumping straight in on what is probably a well-worn topic. I chanced upon Style Forum because I have recently begun a quest to find the perfect shoe. After much searching and internetting, I found the Buckshot Brogue and deemed it to...
