    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    The same thing happened to my AS handgrades. After wearing for 6 months on a rotation basis, the left shoe looks like it was a pair from a different vintage as the right shoe. I've sworn off the brand completely and moved on. My 2 pairs of meermin cost less than that and have no issues like...

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    The forest last comes in 2 fittings and i believe the wider fit is the most generous carmina last widthwise. I think the regular width forest is a great last and a good starter choice (due to the trueness of its size i.e. subtract 1 from US sizes) for carmina shoes as long as you do not have...

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    +1. The insides look so bad that I shudder to think what bacteria or fungus may have lay siege. Loafers are the worst thing to buy 2nd hand because the previous owner probably wore them without socks. If you subscribe to the gemming theory, it's probably rotting from the inside out. This is...

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    Any idea what is this Gorse calf that is only available from Trickers and whether I am better off with pebble grain cowhide? Need a hard wearing upper country boots.

    The Ultimate Vass (Footwear) Thread (Pictures, reviews, sizing, etc...)

    Does the Vass double monk strap come with those flimsy elastic straps like those used in lowndes or AS? I am trying to decide if I should get a pair of EG Westminster or go for a vass double monk in a U last. Aside from the gemming issue, which would be a better shoe?

    AE Strand or McAllister?

    If someone is in Europe, buying AEs and Aldens are poor value for money, especially when duties and shipping are taken into account.

     Are the Anthony Cleverley range made by EG? Is the last used exclusive to Cleverley shoes?

    Shoe Damage Report & Shoe P0rn Central - Part II

     Forget about those. THIS is the best shoe ever presented to an American president. Can't blame the guy. You can imagine his rage after seeing Bush with those crocs slip ons and socks.
