^^ those are super nice. the brass eyelets against the CXL really pop. kinda wish they had a commando sole to go with that rubber heel, that woud make it a great all around casual makeup.

Me too. These had me salivating. Luckily LS head my size, usually I email them and everything's gone.

Third! Just pulled the trigger on these guys from LSBH--the brass on brown CXL is so perfect. Have to stock up before the price hike, right?

You should probably only use Montana on hardier leathers (in terms of Alden, really only chromexcel). I use Montana on boots, but only on my Indy boots and other work/hiking boots like Red Wing, Wolverine, Danner, etc.
Reno is great for cordovan and calf. I haven't used it on chromexcel, seems like overkill (bust still ok) - the Alden Boot Cream also seems like a good product for chromexcel and some other calf boots (never tried it). For cordovan (shoes, boots, whatever), it's Reno and paste wax only.

Thanks man. I've got a pair of Cigar Indy's on order, I will use the Reno on those.

Have any of you had issues with the Aldens that you have received from Jcrew... defects, sole dressing on the shoe, natural edging with black marks, cuts in leather things like that.

LS Plaza natty wingtip boot looks great. Very tempting. I'm surprised the cigar wingtip boot was selling for under $700. Should have been listed at $800

I had a loose speed hook, but they exchanged tthe boots no problem - even after I wore them outside. Know to look for those now.
