Owned both Car Shoe and Tod’s.

Car Shoe last much longer as the studs are more durable but not as feather light weight as Tod’s.

Car shoe makes more economic sense in the longer term.

Carshoe is much more comfortable compared to Tods. And the rubber sole is thicker den Tods as well.

hey bagaholicboy,
im in the US and am totally loving your posts on the car shoe. I definitely want a pair, but have no idea how I can get my hands on a pair in the US. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried the site, but i dont think they do US purchases. Let me know. Thanks.

They cost EUR200-300 in Europe. I don’t think GST makes much difference here, it’s only 7% and those European prices include the crazy European VAT, which varies between 15-25% from country to country. Does Singapore have high import taxes?

I tried them on myself on Saturday too, really comfy, with loads of support. I’m quite the convert myself now!

I had to a pair. I bought a carshoe loafer in Nappa leather. It is indeed comfortable. How much does a pair cost in Europe?

I have to agree with teemu, though I adore Carshoe, the price tags in the ION store is pure ‘daylight robbery’. S’pore has gotta stop thieving the shoppers with GST and import tax. hehe.

I like Carshoe too. But how can you call S$680 a competitive price for basic moccasins? That’s pure robbery. The same shoes are much more affordable in Europe.

I really love the moccasins! Yet to get one though… but I did get to know an SA called Raimi. Very nice guy…

I have tried the lambskin leather loafers! Very comfortable, luxurious and supple! The high top calf leather loafers are just as good.

Not tried them out myself, but once I do I will definitely do an update of sorts.
