    **The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**

    The only time that I use soap is on work/hiking type boots that actually get dirty. I used saddle soap once on a pair of used dress shoes that I bought only because they were pretty gunky. I use a damp cloth on my casual/dress shoes and boots in between conditioning. Unless your out hiking in...

    I figured as much and from my experience I must agree. The back of a spoon worked wonders on some scuffs on another pair of shoes I had after an embarrassing slip on some ice while trying to get into my car.

    Thanks David. Actually after living with it for awhile I prefer the less shiny portion. I sometimes do like a gloss to my shoes/boots but these almost have a patent leather look. Is there a better way to remove the acrylic?

    After thinking about it I guess it makes sense. I bought some Saphir cordovan cream polish and will give it a go.

    It may be hard to discern in the pic. I went over the upper portion(everything except the front toe and vamp) of the left boot with a deer bone, then brushed and buffed. The deer boned portion is now slightly dull. I have buffed repeatedly trying to get the shine back to no avail. These are...

    Could you explain why/how renovateur would dry out the shell? Would it also dry out regular cowhide leathers? Curious since I have been using it periodically on a pair of my shell shoes and I would hate to be doing harm.

    Help me decide. I've been wanting a pair of Alden #8 shell boots for a long time now. Finally pulled the trigger. I have the plain toe on order but can exchange. Now I am having a hard time deciding on which style will suit me best. I plan to wear them to work mostly which is a casual...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Thinking of buying a bag for luggage. I'm torn between the medium duffel and the Pullman. Any suggestions? I like the look of the pullman more but the strap anchor points on the back may be annoying. The duffel seems more versatile but more of a pain to get things in and out of it. Just my...

    I don't know what it will do to the shell but it will strip the coating off.
