**The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**
There is no difference. It is a matter of cost. A jar of Reno is $18-$23 depending on where you buy it. A jar of shoe cream, depending on brand, can range from $6 to $18. The brand of cream i.e. Woly, Meltonian, Saphir, Kiwi, bugol, etc is also dependant on how much you are willing to spend...- silentfox74

**The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**
With Reno, shoe cream is debatable in Singapore humid climate but wax would be ideal for some protection against humidity and rain.- silentfox74

The Official Carmina Sizing Thread
Thanks guys. I am flat footed and that is why I find Alden/tricker's last are more comfortable. Sigh, I wish Carmina offer something another colour rather than just black (non-cordovan) boots.- silentfox74

Viccel.com socks
So I have received my socks. The design I selected were herringbone black grey & black white. If some of you think that the thickness is like a winter hiking sock, you will be wrong. In fact, I would say it has a thickness of a normal sport socks. I was hoping to use it as an alternative to a...- silentfox74

Who makes the best belts?
I bought my black quick release belt from http://www.worcestershireleathercompany.com/ and I am extremely happy with it. Thick leather, and solid brass buckle. The difference between a hand made belt and store (even some brand name belt) is noticeable. I may buy my next belt from Equus...- silentfox74

Best shoe in the 400-500 range?
In terms of what readily available to acquire, I would say Church's, Tricker's, and Alden (coming from Allen Edmonds & Clarks). C & J seem to have a shortage of sort in most of the online store I frequently visit. You could try Carmina's online store, but after paying for custom, and shipping...- silentfox74

Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.
Looking through Carmina's website, they have two different colour for Cognac. Check out Model 080250-012 oxford and Model 000910-004 cordovan on their online store. Both listed as Cognac coloured, but two different shade of colour. Maybe when the leather was selected, one cutter read it as...- silentfox74

The Official Carmina Sizing Thread
Unless I have miss it while reading the whole thread, does anyone with experience can tell me how the boot with Alcudia last is compared with Alden Indy/Tricker's stow. I have wide feet, so if I am wearing 10 D Alden Indy/9.5 uk tricker's stow, should I go with 10 uk Alcudia last?- silentfox74

Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.
Wow, Carmina seem to have drop the ball on this one. Maybe it is the angle, but the stitching on one shoe is a bit off. Maybe the colour was miss represented due to the photos themselves...lighting/use of flash/etc. Nice to see that Skoaktiebolaget is taking responsibility, but...- silentfox74

Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread
Got my Tricker's Austerity Stow from Leather Soul BH (Thanks Bryan!). I will be posting a comparison review with Alden Indy Chromexcel once I break it in. But here is my initial reaction: Shoe came with Tricker's own brand of shoe wax (smells very similar to Saphir), two shoe bag and instead...- silentfox74
