These are great. Excellent choice! Who's the maker and what's the specific color of the suede? On my monitor it looks almost like a glowing chocolate brown.

^ Nice! That they do. I figured those were yours based on your comment from a few weeks ago. Are the burnt pine Newmarkets for you as well? If so, great week!

Those two (Newmarket on the 82), plus another from the same page. Santa Claus was good to me.

Yes they are Martegani. Mr. Rider still has a size ten left on his ebay page if I recall.

Do you people actually brush down your suede shoes after each wear? Mine tend to lose a bit of nap with each brush so I'm not sure it's such a good idea. Besides, it's a lot of work.
