Kirby Allison: Affiliate thread

Yep. We still have free shipping, but other promotional codes void it.

As for color... that's tough. I'd say somewhere between Hermes Red and Mahogany. You might either just use the Renovateur or have to mix two cream polishes together to yield the correct pallet.

You're welcome to purchase a few colors and then return whichever you end up not using.

Beautiful shoes, though!

Thank you for the help, just placed another order. Will have to try the trees next

Would it be important to have a horsehair brush dedicated for the use of dusting and removing any dirt on shoes only? I'd imagine that it wouldn't be good to have brush to clean the dust / dirt, and then use that same brush for polishing when dust and dirt may be trapped inside the brush correct?



EDIT: I think I may order some shoe trees also when I place an order on the Saphir polishes. Regarding the sizing for the Ultra, your size chart seems to be different from the one provided on Woodlore's website.

I'm an 8.5D/E and can't decide between the small or medium

Thanks for the Saphir polishes Kirby!

By chance, do you offer the vintage cherry red polish by chance? I see you offer a hermes red cream, but no hermes red polish...

Saphir does not make the Hermes Red in a wax polish...

Interesting... looks like they changed the sizing guidance on us but didn't say anything! I've updated the website.

Nevermind.

Thanks, unrooted, for the message. The second sizing guide is for International Conversion and is based on an "E" Width, which is why it may give you a different recommendation.

Regarding the Reno'Mat, I know many professionals who use strait acetate to strip the polish off of their shoes. However, the Reno'Mat will always be safer to use.

The promo code BOO doesn't seem to be working. Am I supposed to enter it as a discount code, or is there a chance to enter it later?

The website does not allow one or more promotional codes to be used at the same time. This might be the problem. Email me if you continue to run into difficulty.

Kirby, you're killing me with the new crystal glasses. Beautiful.

Thanks! Yes... a little special interest of mine.

I particularly like these two:



Though two patterns stood out as having a very interesting background: the one inherited from your grandmother, and the one used in Downton Abbey!

FYI, if you have a size 13D Allen Edmonds shoe the Large Epic Shoetree is MUCH too small. I realize it is Woodlore/AE's fault, but you should have a better working knowledge of the stuff you sell.

Unrooted - thank you for your note. We occasionally have trouble with the Woodlore Sizing Guidance. Unfortunately, the trouble is very inconsistent. However, we will be more than happy to exchange the trees for the proper size. Please email us at customerservice @ hangerproject.com and we'll take care of you.
