    Question for anyone in particular, anyone ever done a factory tour of Meermin?

    RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know

    It was actually L Catterton, a private equity firm backed by LVHM, who bought RMW back in 2013. They have a reputation for buying under-valued lifestyle brands in order to flip them for a dime. All the Chelsea boots are still made in the Adelaide workshop. The other styles are made in Europe.

    The History of John Lobb St. James

    Dodd's 'The Last Shall Be First: A Colourful History of John Lobb..' is certainly "colourful". A few hours on Trove, an online archive of scanned Australian newspapers, lends me to believe JL origins are based more on myth than anything factual.

    First pair of "good" formal shoes - which one to buy?

    My nephew in Australia asked me this question the other day. He said he'd just bought an Aquila and asked me what ai thought? I didn't want to destroy his hopes and dreams there and then, but why!? I think the problem is that Australia just hasn't had a shoe industry for a while - turned to dust...

    Australian Members - Part II - if you read the first post, you'll get what this is all about.

    I've had a resole from Manfred for a 25-year old pair of C&Js I own. It's decent. It's not Nathan Baxter level, but it's still pretty good. Still, I think I'll be sending my favs to Nathan. I'll defo use Manfred again. No issues there. If anyone has any better recommendations in Melbourne I'm...

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    I know this is an old post, but these Meermin last charts are off by a mile - unless I've missed something? I'm a size 10.5E UK. I Have the measurements for the largest last I own. The bottom length (not stick) is 304.57. The bottom width is 97.9 and I would comfortably fit in their size 10...

    Following a sales alert on Welted Shoes Australia FB group, anyone know anything about Leather Lately shoes and boots?

    Like it. Totally agree with the observation that many of these peacocks have not really played dress-up before. I tend to find the most stylish men are a bit older 40+. They’ve dabbled and settled on their style then make small adjustments, inclusions that ooh look so good

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    Yeah, I ordered their wingtips in shell. I'll be honest with you, they were very rough. The welt joint is so poorly connected (both shoes) that it looks like a broken road after an Earthquake. Turn the shoes around, and the heel counter doesn't look centered, so they look strangely asymmetrical...

    buying used shoes, ok or not?

    I've bought countless secondhand shoes. Nothing more satisfying than restoring a beaten up pair of quality kicks. Sure, it's not for everyone. If you're grossed out at the thought, I get you Howard Hughes. But for every gross secondhand shoe buyer, there is a snotty-emergheerd secondhand shoe...
