Same thing here, except I've only used Saphir Renovator so far. Mine are only a couple months old.

Should I go for:
i) black?

iii) leave it alone?
 

I darkened mine by applying Obenaufs to the edge of the sole, and that worked wonderfully.

That said, I'm thinking of trying to blacken the sole edges of my black IRs, and I've been trying to decide the best route to do it.  I think edge dressing could work great for the edges, but not the tops of the edges (I'd get edge dressing all over the leather)...so I think my best bet is to just use black polish and then some obenaufs.

Good ol' boots.

^beautiful

i have to say i over think a lot of things, they feel good, nice and snug, but when the leather stretches i am afraid they will be to big, crazy i know but that is just the way i think, not only drives my wife nuts, i an starting to get on my own nerves.

I want to wear my GTs more, but I have to wait about two days between wears for the leather to dry out.  Even when it isn't raining, my feet sweat enough to get the sole a bit damp and cold to the touch.  

How do you guys wear them every day?  Do you have a trick for keeping them dry?  Do you wear them anyway?
