I would guess something like Montana Pitch Blend?
Depends on how you want it. If you want it more ruff and keep it waxy I would recommend Obenaufs LP, but by the look of the leather, it's not impossible to get a shine with some reno and wax. I personally go for both on my waxy chelsea boots; treat them with obenaufs with a good shine on the toes.
Regarding the Independence collection and sole thickness
I was listening to the video with Paul and Mark McNeil (head of design) and they mentioned something about the sole thickness at about 1 minute and 22 seconds (something about being another iron thickness)
Can someone please clarifiy?
Thanks

Was just about to cop a pair then realized that the 9 was only in B width. I am going to try and give my local stores a call. Edit: Local store closest to me does not have it, but they said they would get an 8.5 and 9 in store for me to try on.FYI Fifth Street boots (firsts) are on sale for $199 on allenedmonds.com, sizes limited.
Stopped by my local AE store, they already had the Flatiron on the new 3 last, so i took pictures:
A very interesting part about the insole, they seem to be trying something different again. It is no longer a hard insole, it has some cushioning now, some kind of glued layer added...
In black, which looks pretty elegant.
In walnut, with the burnished toe. Which is more subtle than expected, especially on the mate...
Here is the mate, you can notice the burnishing is lessened. Side profile looks very much like the Kenilworth, aside from the elongated chiseled toe.
Front view, i noticed they were digging deeper in to the outer sole when doing the stitching. Had kind of a half cylindrical effect in some places, especially the heel...
Bottom of outer sole looks elongated as well, as to be expected.
The burnishing varied from shoe to shoe, i really wish they would find some consistency with that. Otherwise, the chiseled toe looks pretty good, very contemporary. Can't wait to see the Newmora...
I wonder if that's Poron or something similar, like they are doing for the Brooks Brothers shoes. I think I'd rather do without, TBH.
