Picked up a pair of Marlow wingtips at the recent RL sale,  My first cordovans as I always that they were too stiff.  I love them.  I've worn them with sport coat and slacks, casual pants and, today, jeans.  I assume they'll get even more comfortable as they break in, correct?


They certainly will

Those pennys look great.

What type and color polish does everyone recommend for the Darlton / Marlows? I applied some Saphir to mine as my pennys and wingtips seemed pretty dry. I am wondering what wax type polish would be best to maintain the color?

Thanks in advance.

I use the Alden brown paste wax from Shoemart.

Is it safe to assume that the penny's fit the same as the wingtips?


Nope. I fit a pair of 8.5D Wingtips like a glove. I tried 8.5D and 9D Pennys, and they both had to go back :( Toebox is just too narrow. When sizing up to a 9 the heel was way too large. These damn shoes wont work for me!
