Posted these questions on the shoe care thread but the thread's all over the place. Any input would be appreciated!
[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, clean, sans-serif]1. Can somebody who is experienced with Saphir products recommend the correct color for these shoes (Loake 1880 Dorchesters)? [/FONT]I'm thinking light brown but tan and cognac also sound plausible.
2. Is cream a better option than wax? I'm not sure I'd want a mirror polish on these and I think they look really nice as is, but a lot of the recommendations call for a few layers or cream and then a layer of wax to protect. Should I still apply both even though I don't want a mirror finish? Since these are mint, I don't really need to restore the color - maybe Reno is all I really need?
3. Any suggestions for a matching dress belt? Loake doesn't seem to carry them.
