    Anybody know if they will order other shoes from Carmina. I have enough boots and country shoes that are capable of kicking down a door in a rain storm from AE, C&J and Alden. I want some loafers.

    You don't know me. I don't care. I'm not defending anybody. If S&M made crap all of a sudden, I would drop them in a second. Because of the internet and globalism, I can shop the world from my livingroom so I can buy what I want, when I want from wherever I want. I've had other shirts that cost...

    Forty+ shirts. Lots of white label stuff for $19 CDN, about 7-10 black label and two purple labels. I don't have to wear a dress shirt daily. Some of the shirts are for suits only (larger in the collar for ties) some are for casual and some smart casual. I've had one, where the buttons were...

    Well the traffic sucks just as bad. You'll feel right at home if you drive in it. No Lou Malnatis or Giordanos..:(

    If I have to drive somewhat far and I already had 5 pairs and I know my size, I would just order online. Harry Rosen purposely ordered different shoes by adding features and calling them “Canadian” names. I don’t live nearby a HR, so when I go there, I need to see what I want . They had odd...

    Well that explains a lot. HR also had weird models that I didn't like and ordered their shoes with the rubber tap sole to make them different. I don't think I have ever gone into a store to try stuff on to buy online. I've HAD to buy online because I couldn't get what I wanted. If I had someone...

    Oh, I know. Same with Ferragamo. Same with Tod's. I do buy cemented shoes, but they are usually a very much on sale Magnanni loafer. Once I bought 2 pairs of Dainite "style" cemented brogue wingtip suede derbys from Saks Off Fifth for $95 a pair by Bugatchi. Cost per wear is low and I'm not...

    GTA Shoe Shine Robs Best Foot Forward Valentino Garemi Robs had an insane price for some of his Saphir products. It did not go well for me because I went over a few doors into Spieir and Mackay's Toronto location and walked out with three shirts. Savings gone...

    I would never have put Church's in the same category as C&J. It seems like the only model I see looks like an AE McAllister or Strand. I went to the Santoni website and I guess if I were to get a pair, I would be ordering them because I don't quite like what they have on display at HR. Bontoni...

    Since I have zero NEED to wear more than jeans and a t-shirt but still own 14+ blazers and all that goes with it, I like shoes. I dress smart casual. I like S&M for the quality per dollar clothing and like Via Cavour for outright style but I am dying here trying to find shoes. I have ONE pair of...

    Where the heck are you? I'm till wearing shorts and a t-shirt in south Ontario. I did receive a pic from my mom in BC of snow, similar to yours, yesterday.

    Hi, I own three pair of loafers from Magnanni. One i rubber soled that I got from Nordstrom, another is a blake stitched Faleo from Nordstrom Rack and the other is a Made for Saks which is identical to the Faleo except the bottom is orange. The leather is decent, so they will take a polish and...

    Today is snowing so no AEs. But yesterday, it did not snow. A quick brush and smooth down with a nylon and out I went.

    Well, I personally have no experience with silk, maybe someone else can weigh in. If not, it looks like you will be the pioneer! I think it is the slight friction the nylon causes that eliminates any high spot on the wax. Good luck.

    I bought the cheapest package of women's nylon low cut stockings from Walmart. I brought them home and picked up a pair of shoes that had about 14 layers of Saphir Pate De Luxe neutral wax on the toe. I had used cotton balls, makeup removing pads, old t-shirts and an actual polishing cloth to...

    Don't worry about me taking offense to them being considered flat, they are. I have ten pairs, and they all came that way. The flat colour that seemed to be affecting the beauty of a product the most is some Chili shoes I bought. Those shoes were part of the cheap trio from Saks Off 5th, the...
