Thank you Mac. It's because of you & fellow SF'ers that I even own this Alden make-up. Thanks again.

Beautiful shoes!!
I use them. And heel pads as well, depending on the last. I use both on my PTBs.
I really love the look of those boots. Seeing so many beautiful boots here on SF is pushing me towards getting a pair. Walk in peace.

I've used the tongue pad for slip on shoes. When the soles are pretty stiff when brand new, I've had some heel slippage. The tongue pad helps to relieve that until the soles have been worked out and have gained some flexibility. I'm not sure they are meant to be a permanent fixture. My guess is that if you need them permanently, the shoe doesn't fit properly. I suppose though, the bottom line is that you have a comfortably-fitting shoe, even if that means using the pad.
Eagle, I treat my suede shoes. I've used whatever brand nordstroms carries in the past but lately I've been using ugg spray. I like the ugg spray better tha anything else I've tried. It keeps the nap up longer and makes the suede look fresher and cleaner. I avoid wearing suede in foul weather but in a light drizzle the ugg is also equal to others for water resistance.Has anyone ever dubbed (treated with something like Obenauf LP or Hubberds) his snuff suede boots? I've often heard of people doing that with their roughout Iron Rangers or Boondockers. And seen pics of the results that look very good. The snuff suede seems to be a finer leather, though. So I'm not sure how that would work. They still look close to Service boots, so perhaps why not?
