The prizes at company events so far have been pretty sweet so im thinking the prize will be awesome.

I'll need to peacock to be with a chance. Bright colours, accessories, and ****

Will certainly get the judges' attention.

Agreed. The winners at my work's Melbourne Cup function are generally wearing Fedoras and waistcoats.

This is solid award winning advice. To take it the extra mile, get a ****** haircut FTW. You know the classic slight mullet over the collar or a faux-hawk look.

Note to self - make appoint for hair trim at back soon.

People have in the past praised Rene's dry cleaners.

Sam & Fey in the docklands are the best alterations folks I've found.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Well I learnt something. I thought shoes were classified by toe style and stitching. I hadn't considered lacing etc.
Back to the drawing board.
Without prejudice I don't like using stores to get sizing and then buying online. Doesn't seem fair.
I'll probably trundle down to Beggar Man and purchase in store just to ensure I do it right the first time.
Thanks

They have a little outlet at the Sth Melbourne market as well. Not sure if they sell any Loake there but might be worth a look as well.

I would try them on in store, otherwise it can be a very expensive exercise.

Once you know which popular brand and size (eg C&J on last 337) that fits well, you can benchmark those shoes with other shoes by searching/asking on forums.

Personally, I would feel bad trying them on at Double Monk as they are great guys, but I would never feel bad for doing it as DJs or American Tailors (the guys are always grumpy).
