inlinesix Supersonic June 1, 2018 Share June 1, 2018 I remember seeing their ads when they first came to our shores, said proven comfortable and proof was got people to wear the leather shoes to run in i think Paris Marathon! Made a deep impression, but even now my SES not high enough to buy this - lagi jialat in those days when it first came to SG... Even wife heard Rockport is v comfy, and i dun mind trying one - if got attractive (enough) sale. Get it when you go holiday lo. I bought a pair of Rockport boat shoe from outlet for JPY5,800. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vratenza Supersonic June 1, 2018 Share June 1, 2018 TIp: if you can wait, go local rockport stores to try our their shoe size and fittings. try to identify some models you like. Go Amazon search. can usually find some good deals even with shipping included even more so when special sales like black friday.

Vratenza Supersonic June 1, 2018 Share June 1, 2018 (edited) LOL... Like go AD to test drive Jazz and end up buy Fit from PI? Aiyah, local retailers should have known, they shouldn't be making obscene profit margin when these days online purchase are much cheaper. Why pay more for same stuff when you don't even provide warranty. ha ha ok idea... but scully like some opinion in the test drive thread: if no intention to buy, then dun waste people's time... i leh...

Lala81 Hypersonic June 1, 2018 Share June 1, 2018 My most comfortable pair of leather shoes... Rockport. Very cushy, light and soft. But don't hold up in the shape... Gets cui like this quickly despite only wearing it 2 times per week. Current state... 20180601_074141-picsay.jpg u find rockport soft and light? haha when i changed over, my chronic Rt ankle sprain couldn't recover cos of the weight of the shoe i think mine way more creases. But i wear daily. laced definitely looks good. But I'm usually in a hurry to leave the house. Lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotr 6th Gear June 1, 2018 Share June 1, 2018 Most of my shoes are from Amazon, price range from 150 to 250sgd. Sometimes the fit is very good, sometimes not. But the best buy so far for me is a pair of Tod's loafer which I bought at 50% discount from Taipei Airport. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vratenza Supersonic June 1, 2018 Share June 1, 2018 (edited) Since we are on topic of lace-less... This is my other pair of lace-less from Pedro (bought during discounted online sale) Quite comfy, initially tough to slip in and out...probably spend more time putting them on then my laced ones.. But now much better after wearing in. Edited June 1, 2018 by Vratenza ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
