Good to hear the sizing worked out for you.

Where can I get shoe laces similar to this but longer? My cage's shoe lace are a bit short and when worn almost impossible to tie when the last eyelet or even second to last eyelt is used.

I've noticed they are kind of short haha. Wish I could help you. Been meaning to ask you if you get the same size ricard as the cage

You can get standard white shoelaces at any shoe shop, take your existing laces out and measure them, make sure to buy the next size longer, or more if you prefer.

Tarmac- The thing is, these shoe laces are thinner than the usual laces and the eyelets are smaller as well. I just don't think the standard laces would fit. I also looked at some and most dress shoe laces are short, too short for this particular 6-eyelet shoe.

cldpsu- The brown Ricards are the same as my Cages, UK7.5 but my black Ricards is a half size bigger, UK8.

^^^ I was considering that since that part will probably be covered with my pants but I just wanted to see if there was an option to get a pair of longer laces first before settling on that option.

Sorry, I don't mean a shoe shop, I mean a shoe repair shop. They have the thin laces which are typically sold with dress shoes. I needed a pair for my white florsheims a few months back and I got exactly what I was looking for. You have to go take a look before you decide they are too thick.

Can anyone who owns a pair of brown Starrs recommend a neutral shoe polish ?

Wearing nice shoes to a club is a road to ruin

+1 I have brown starrs and have been thinking about meltonian neutral but still not sure if I should use it.

Can these be found anywhere in the US? I think it's the color Phat Guido has been wearing in some of his WAYWT pics.

I saw something like that at Mario's in Seattle on sale a couple days ago.
They were either Starrs or Millers, can't remember.
Price was around $230.
They only had a few sizes left though. All were smaller than UK10.

There were some Sigaro Nashes too for a similar price.
I think they had more sizes of those.
