    **The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**

     Maybe a n00b-question, but won't this affect walking comfort as the heel of the shoe you normally fully utilise to walk on is reduced to a small piece of plastic?

    Santoni (Non-hand grade) Shoes

    Those are Magnanni 11005 double monks. I love how they look, the quality is less impressive. Then again, I picked them up in a sale for less than $150 so I can't really complain :)

    Mismatched shoes - interesting detail or trying-too-hard affectation?

    Lame. Seriously.

    Santoni (Non-hand grade) Shoes

     Thank you. Those are called 6313 (first one) and 6519 (second one). I also have a 7415 derby, as you can see below, the bottom row left (I added a picture of my current collection).

    Santoni (Non-hand grade) Shoes

     Mine are a different kind, not for every taste, but I love them. New/one year old. Loud patina, I know :-) Almost 5 years old (and in need of a good polish). I also have a derby-pair, but don't have pics at the moment.

    Santoni (Non-hand grade) Shoes

    For the record, Santoni does make GY-welted shoes. I feel there's a huge difference in quality and styling between the different lines Santoni is offering in the US and Europe. I've seen awesome pairs that can easily match C&J and better shoes, I've also seen mediocre pairs that didn't impress...

    Suitsupply - cheap bespoke

    LOL, I was wondering what the catch would be. Puts things in perspective.

    Suitsupply - cheap bespoke

     Neither do I. I appearantly stepped on his toes by labelling those shoes as not bad but nothing to get all excited about. It resulted in some vague engrish rant from his side where it seems that he hasn't read anything I did post. It's hilarious how he calls my opinion bullshit while...

    Suitsupply - cheap bespoke

    Eh, you're kicking a dead horse here, the actual line of my post was 'they are exactly what you can expect for sub 200 euro shoes.' Unless you call the quality in that price-range the epitome of shoe craftsmanship, what exactly is your problem? I never got personal before you called my post 'a...

    Suitsupply - cheap bespoke

     Ah, I probably dismissed your shoe collection as poor, right? Get your panties untwisted. I've fitted them, the leather and suede is of reasonable quality but only that, their soles are not very thick, their construction is nothing special. Exactly as you can expect from shoes in that...

    Suitsupply - cheap bespoke

    Well, they are exactly what you can expect for sub 200 euro shoes. If that's good enough for you go for it. I was not impressed by their quality when I had them in my hands.

    Suitsupply - cheap bespoke

    Those shoes are nothing special. I've heard Cordwainer has some involvement but I'm not sure. Unlike their suits I'd stay away from their shoes probably.

    Suitsupply - cheap bespoke

    Their cheapest MTM-service (Blue Line) starts at €350 in Europe, Suit-up starts at €450. Not sure which service is available in the US. Blue Line: - Over 60 Italian fabrics - Pure Wool in Super 110 & Super 120 Suit-up: - Fully made to measure - Over 600 Italian fabrics - Pure Wool / Cashmere...

    How to use shoe trees

    Size up those trees. They should fit tightly, otherwise it doesn't do anything for you shoes. You can always adjust the fit a bit by using some sandpaper, but obviously only when they are too tight ;-)

    Suitsupply - cheap bespoke

    Suit Supply is a more than decent choice in their price range. Good fit, decent quality. Nothing to get all hyper about, but good quality for its price.
