I have two pair coming.

 

 

One size 11 and the other 11 1/2.

 

 

I wanted to make sure I got the right size.

 

 

I wear a size 11 in the Alden Barrie Last, but I understand from reading this thread the Last used in the Lindrick is similiar to the Barrie Last but a bit narrower and a bit shorter.

 

 

The one that doesn't fit will go back.

Cool! Hope one of them fits well - it's a great boot!

Me too, thank you sir.

 

Looking to add a different color besides just #8, and the Lindrick boot looks real nice.

 

Cheers,

 

Dan

gentpax, yes, I'm referring to Saphir's specialized cordovan cream. Tried it and now shun it. Venetian is the one and only, recommended by none other than Skip Horween.

Just to offer a similar story, I had the same issue when I got my marlows last year and had asked RL to polish it to clear up. Even with their polishing they couldn't get rid of it so they exchanged it for me.

I have been using Saphir's cream on all my cordovan. Both #8 and dark brown and I have had no issues whatsoever after two years of usage. The color also hides any scratches so I see no reason to stop using it.

Has the sizing on the penny loafers changed at all since they changed the name from "darlton" to Marlow?

I felt the pennies ran about a half size small before.

Thanks. I've been using Reno on shell the last few years with no problems, although one would question whether or not the trace amount of turps are good for the hide. Saw Skip's recco in the past, but still haven't tried Venetian Cream... largely because anyone who has it online seems to charge prohibitively for shipping. Completely passed over the Cordo Cream as Reno worked fine, and the addition of neatsfoot oil (which may or may not darken leather).

This, I do the same and it works just fine. All of above scratches can be easily removed, I've had even worse.

I bought my Venetian Shoe Cream a few months ago from Fore Supply Co: http://bit.ly/VMdPND

 

IIRC the shipping charge was not too bad, I'd recommend it (although 32oz is about a lifetime supply worth of Venetian Cream)

32 Ounces of Venetian Shoe Cream!

You crazy!

(Although the price is dirt cheap)
