     If I buy a pair of shell (that I actually keep) it will be the 990, probably fitted with agatine matched eyelets and a Dainite sole. Great color. First run out of my Adam produced saddles as well today

I'm on a preorder for Alden of Carmel's color 8 LWB on commando with antique edges, size 10.5D Barrie last. The shoes are set to arrive next month. I paid...

    So I just unboxed my Natural CXL Indys from TSM. Great looking pair of boots, except for this. It's a scrape of some kind (discoloration but also a change in texture). Is this the kind of thing some shoe cream and a bit of brushing will take care of, or would it be best to send these back? (My...
