Am I the only one that thinks all of those are ugly?


I think they don't look pleasant simply because the leather is soft, so it's floppy and all. But when worn, Guidis will look really good. Though they do not have the shape that Augustas, Carpes and CCP have, I prefer Guidi because of their toe shape, and the soft leather they use make them much easier to break in as compared to the others.

Anybody want to chime in on what Saphir products to buy- I'm going to be placing an order soon, should I just purchase the renovateur? I need to clean and condition my Carpes and don't want a hi gloss finish.

Thanks,
EB

I like both but- I lean more towards the Vaz Workboot, looks mean :slayer:. Plus, he probably uses Guidi leather anyway.


I saw some prototypes he actually fully handmade and, while there is no point in selling these (he'd have to go like $2800), I have to say he can make a terrific shoe. Sadly they weren't my size...

Renovateur is just a leather treatment cream, no "high gloss" anything...buy that.

No- the boots on far fetch are the normal sole and might be horse (reverse).
